Martin Luther and John Calvin were pivotal to the English Puritans as their theological ideas laid the foundation for Puritan beliefs. Luther's emphasis on individual interpretation of Scripture and justification by faith influenced the Puritans' desire for a more personal and direct relationship with God. Calvin's teachings on predestination and church governance inspired the Puritans' quest for a reformed church that aligned with their understanding of biblical principles. Together, their reformist ideas motivated the Puritans to seek religious purity and autonomy in England and later in the New World.
