  1. Puritan Literature1600 - 1750

  2. Who were the Puritans? • Puritans: A religious sect of Christianity that broke away from England’s Roman Catholic church because of the corruption found in Church and State rule.

  3. Who were the Puritans? • The Puritans broke away from the Catholic Church in search of a “purer” form of Christianity. • But because of this, many of their lives were endangered. • To avoid persecution, many Puritans began fleeing to the “New World”…America. • The name “Pilgrim” is given to anyone who is making a pilgrimage or religious journey.

  4. Who were the Puritans? • The pilgrims were the first Puritans to arrive in America when they landed on Plymouth Rock in 1620 • Nearly all literature of this period is in the form of diaries, historical accounts, sermons, or religious poetry

  5. Five Principles of PuritanismT.U.L.I.P. • Total Depravity – through Adam and Eve’s fall, every person is born sinful - this is the concept of original sin - every part of man is corrupted: body, mind, and spirit

  6. Five Principles of PuritanismT.U.L.I.P. • Unconditional Election – God chooses only a certain few for salvation that he has predetermined before birth - this is the concept of predestination or Calvinism

  7. Five Principles of PuritanismT.U.L.I.P. • Limited Atonement – Jesus died only for those that were chosen, not for everyone. - those predestined by God for salvation were known as the “elect” - those not chosen are known as the “unregenerate”

  8. Five Principles of PuritanismT.U.L.I.P. • Irresistible Grace – God’s grace is freely given to whom he chooses. - when the Spirit of God is sent to change a person’s heart, that person cannot resist the change

  9. Five Principles of PuritanismT.U.L.I.P • Perseverance of the Saints – Once God has given salvation to a person, he will continue to live in an upright way. - Therefore, it would never be possible for a person to leave God’s path if a person had truly been saved. - However, this does not necessarily mean that once one is saved, he or she is always saved. - “Once saved, always saved” seems to imply that a person can sin habitually, yet still retain salvation.

  10. Authors Studied This Unit • William Bradford – “Of Plymouth Plantation” • Anne Bradstreet – “Burning of Our House” • William Byrd – “History of the Dividing Line” • Jonathon Edwards – “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God”
