How did prosperity lead to the disintegration of the puritan bible commonwealth?
Wiki User
∙ 7y ago
Prosperity in the Puritan Bible Commonwealth led to social and economic disparities among the colonists, which undermined the unity and shared values that initially held the community together. As wealth increased, individuals became more focused on personal gain and social status, leading to a decline in the strict adherence to Puritan principles and a shift towards materialistic and individualistic values. This disintegration ultimately weakened the social fabric of the community and contributed to its eventual breakdown.

What is Bible Commonwealth?
"Bible Commonwealth" was some of the religious leaders' large influence. It powerfully influenced admission to church membership by conducting public interrogations of people claiming to have experienced conversation. -Bible commonwealth refers to a theocratic political economy (meaning, even in government, a deity was believed in and was a guiding force). We saw Bible commonwealth in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. -MBC was founded by moderate Puritans. Know that Puritans believed in only "God's elect" could go to heaven, no exceptions. The only way for a Puritan to know he was one of the "elect" was if he had experienced "conversion". Conversion refers to a person's experience where God reveals to him that he is destined for heaven. -The Puritan presence in MBC lead to the creation of the Bible commonwealth, meaning their laws were made based on the Bible and only adult male, church-going Puritans could vote in provincial elections. But church membership was only for Puritans who had experienced conversion--religious leaders had public interrogations with people to confirm this. -So basically, when you think "Bible commonwealth", think large religious influence in government. (However, please note that in MBC there was a small separation between state and religion.)
