New England Calvinism refers to a theological perspective that emerged in the 18th and early 19th centuries in New England, heavily influenced by the teachings of John Calvin. It emphasizes the sovereignty of God, the total depravity of humanity, and the necessity of grace through faith for salvation. This tradition was particularly articulated by theologians like Jonathan Edwards, who integrated Calvinist doctrine with revivalist movements, leading to a distinctive form of Puritanism that influenced American religious thought and practice. It also marked a transition towards a more experiential and emotional faith, contrasting with earlier, more rationalist views.
