How did the Great Awakening both reflect economic changes and suggest revolutionary tendencies? What role did Great Britain’s reformation play in the colonization of the New World?
Answer; Ecomoic changes and suggest
revolutionary tendencies;It shows how people realizes that
they have to be more religious in spiritually in heart and
physically as go to church. The preachers such as Jonathan and more
frightted people with the image of god how he is angry but the
people will be saved. It cause people to work for charity to built
an orphanage and more. More devotion to religion, sunbath, strict
dressing, and manner.
Puritans believed in religion as an inward experience which
illuminated outward
behavior rather than as a set of outward behaviors which led
towards salvation. At the core of Puritanism was the individual and
his or her convictions; these, in turn, became the basis for the
gathering of congregations as communities of believers.
The intense spiritual individualism of Puritanism coexisted
uneasily with the
corporatist social and political institutions which leaders like
Winthrop sought to impose on it. Within a few years of the
settlement of Massachusetts Bay, dissenters like Anne Hutchinson
and Roger Williams were already challenging the authority of
ministers and of the State in the name of liberty of conscience and
the spiritual sovereignty of the individual.
Winthrop and his allies succeeded in maintaining the authority of
the ministers
and magistrates. But the cost involved shifting evidence of
worthiness for admission to full church membership from the
believer's ability to testify to an inward experience of grace to
more external legalistic criteria. This was part of a broader
devolution of New England Puritanism towards rigid patterns of
state-enforced orthodoxy. Role of great
britains;Protestant Reformation played a huge role in
Great Britain's religious history in that it led (indirectly) to
the formation of the Church of England as well as the many
denominations that formed afterwards (Methodist,
Presbyterian,Baptist, Congregationalist, Quaker, etc). Without the
Reformation, none of that could have happened because the Roman
Catholic Church would have remained dominant. With all the
religious change, there were periods of religious persecution in
Great Britain. That persecution is what led many of the persecuted
religious groups to leave and move to North America where they
could practice their religion freely. The Puritans in New England
are probably the best known example. Other influences include the
founding of Pennsylvania, which was founded from its beginning as a
place where people could be free to practice their religion.it's
not Atheists wanted to move to the New World to be free from
religion of any kind.The first settlers who came to North America
came to be free from religious persecution, and to create a "city
uponbecame the persecutors and denounced and cast out anyone who
did not follow a hill". Once established the persecuted their
religious beliefs. Different settlements over North America often
were filled with people who had different religious beliefs, with a
few places that offered religious freedom and did not persecute
anyone. Religious persecution accounted for some of the killing of
Native Americans and fights between different settlements across
North America.Many Protestants fled Europe fearing Catholic
persecution and because general Protestantism was not to their
liking. Religious zealots with no tolerance for tolerance and
merchants who just wanted to be left alone both made the journey
and became important early settlers all over the east
coast.European settlers of different religions chose to establish
new colonies in order to spread their faith and practice their
beliefs.The printing press was able to develop and spread the
ideals of the people challenging the Catholic church, so basically
the reformation would have never happened without the printing
press. He invented the printing press and was the first person to
print the bible with the printing press. This was called the
Gutenberg Bible.
