The new style of sermons and the way people practiced their faith breathed new life into religion in America. Participants became passionately and emotionally involved in their religion, rather than passively listening to intellectual discourse in a detached manner. Ministers who used this new style of preaching were generally called "new lights", while the preachers who remained unemotional were referred to as "old lights". People affected by the revival began to study The Bible at home.
Great Awakening preachers challenged Puritan beliefs by emphasizing a more personal and emotional connection to God, rather than relying solely on strict adherence to doctrine and tradition. They also encouraged individual spiritual experiences and conversions, which directly contradicted the Puritan idea of predestination and the belief that only a select few were chosen for salvation. Additionally, Great Awakening preachers often criticized the Puritan clergy for being too focused on worldly matters and not doing enough to inspire true religious fervor among their congregations.

There were substantial works of theology written by Puritans, such as the Medulla Theologiae of William Ames, but there is no theology that is distinctive of Puritans. "Puritan theology" makes sense only as certain parts of Reformed theology, i.e. the legacy in theological terms of Calvinism, as it was expounded by Puritan preachers (often known as lecturers), and applied in the lives of Puritans.
