What is puritanism?
Answer .
Puritanism is a mix of English Protestantism and Calvinism. When May Tutor became Queen of England, she didnât tolerate protestants and forced everyone to be…come catholic again. Some converted back, some went into hiding, others were burned at the stack, and the rest were exiled. They were called the Marian Exiles. After leaving England, the exiled protestants learned the ideas of John Calvin and adopted them. When Elizabeth Tutor became Queen, the protestants felt it was safe to come back to England and they brought the Calvinist ideas with them. Once in England, they shared the new ideas and formed Puritanism.\n.
\nMain ideas of Puritanism is the belief of Predestination and the idea that anything (when it comes to religion and religious ceremonies) not written in the bible isnât true. So they donât believe in Purgatory, Limbo, sainthood, celibacy, or âthe Beauty of Holiness.â They also felt is was important for everyone to be literate and educated. (MORE)
