Pilgrims and Puritans

Importance of the Puritans To know the making of the “American mind,” understanding the Puritans is important. They influence: Americans’ view of religion and its role in society Americans’ view of morality Americans’ view of the role of government in society Americans’ view of the mixture of all of the above.

Origins of Puritanism Key issue of the 17th C.- proper way for a Christian to gain access to will of God. Catholics and Conservative Protestants believed individuals could not determine God’s will- so had to rely on (do not question) the Church. Puritans disagree with this perspective.

John Calvin~ Calvinism Calvin had a major influence on Puritan religious view. Predestination

Major components of Calvinism. No event occurred apart from the direction of God. Predestination- God’s elect/select (evidenced here on earth with some in higher and some in lower stations in life) God knows all even before it happens Ultimately the logic is that God so ordained it. Crippling effects of original sin Power of God’s grace could transform sinners Saving truth through scripture alone.

Puritan beliefs… 1. Puritans saw Anglican Church as too like Roman (vestments, ornamentation, corruption). 2. Authority should be at the congregational level, not Episcopal. a.)Church created not by legislation from above, but by agreement from below.

3. Puritans rejected notion that church was the path. God only grants salvation- Grace. 4. Anglican church took anyone who walked in. Puritans believed that ‘visible’ church should look like the ‘invisible church’ (heaven)- only be God’s chosen people (emotional conversion experience often taken as the key). Predestination.

Puritan beliefs… 5. People not truly engaged w/ God- simply going through the motions w/ prayer book and rituals. Church corrupted by laziness and abuse. Only the Bible provides reliable account of Christ. a.) Book of common prayer w/o value- tampered w/ original meaning of the Bible. b.) Hymns corruption of God’s word (so they sang Psalms directly from the Bible). 6. Follow only biblical precedent. a.) They believed Bible indicated predestination. b.) Led to a compulsive drive. Constantly comparing themselves to others

7. Original sin: Since “The Fall”, men were not naturally reasonable, good, honest, etc. Needed a strong religious community to compel adherence to religious values. 8. Beauty is Order for Puritans. They cultivated a studied simplicity. 9. Learning is key- must be able to read one’s Bible.

Puritan Paradoxes Puritan freedom: not freedom to do what you want, but freedom from sin. Don’t be a slave to sins. No conception of a separation of church and state as might be thought of in modern America. This view was consistent w/ the rest of the western world, one church state was the rule- so must not judge Puritans too harshly for their “intolerance” Organized a society of faith, but said church efforts couldn’t lead to salvation. Only God’s grace. Puritans were assured that the truth was in the Bible, and that they were establishing this truth in their governments in America. Believed that the Bible is clear and explicit. But… then why did the Puritans have disagreements? Often pointed out that ironically it was England that forced religious toleration on America- compelled Puritans to stop hanging Quakers and witches and shutting the churches of Anglicans.
