Puritanism is a mix of English Protestantism and Calvinism. When May Tutor became Queen of England, she didn’t tolerate protestants and forced everyone to become 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. Main 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 isn’t true. So they don’t believe in Purgatory, Limbo, sainthood, celibacy, or “the Beauty of Holiness.” They also felt is was important for everyone to be literate and educated.
A Puritan was a member of a group of English Protestants of the late 16th and 17th century. They sought to simplify and regulate forms of worship. Puritans considered the Reformation of the Church of England under Elizabeth as incomplete.
