Puritan New England
• Predestination (Calvin's idea) - everybody has been already assigned for heaven or
heli. God had chosen before their birth whom he wished to save.
• Providence - nothing happens without God’s will.
• Life is just looking for the answer whether we are among those to be saved or those to
be damned, the Elect or the Reprobate.
• It was absolutely necessaiy to read (the Bibie).
The Puritan World
• Every fact was interrogated for its meaning. History is nothing morę but progression toward the fulfilment of God's design on Earth - every event could have symbolic meaning.
• We should not ask why something happens, but what for, what lesson is there to be
leamed.
