Asked by Wiki User

Puritans were against King Charles I primarily because they believed he was not doing enough to reform the Church of England according to their strict religious principles. They saw him as a threat to their religious freedom and sought to challenge his authority in order to create a more puritanical society.

Puritanism was the epitomy of a "works" based faith, and as such led to many persecutions of it's own members as well as some outside that denomination. It did, however, lead to the "Great Awakening" of the mid to late 18th and early 19th centuries in America... perhaps the largest revival movement experienced, at least in the New World

What was the Puritan definition of good writing?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Puritan definition of good writing was that which brought home a full awareness of the importance of worshipping God and of the spiritual dangers that the soul faced on Earth. Puritan style varied enormously -- from complex metaphysical poetry to homely journals and crushingly pedantic religious history. Whatever the style or genre, certain themes remained constant. Life was seen as a test; failure led to eternal damnation and hellfire, and success to heavenly bliss. This world was an arena of constant battle between the forces of God and the forces of Satan, a formidable enemy with many disguises. Many Puritans excitedly awaited the "millennium," when Jesus would return to Earth, end human misery, and inaugurate 1,000 years of peace and prosperity.
