Puritanism
Definición
- Puritanism—a term rarely used by Puritans themselves, but rather by their critics and opponents—originated as a reformist movement within the sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Church of England. Puritans were English Protestants dissatisfied with the extent of reform in the English church after its break with Rome under Henry VIII. They sought the purging of remaining Romish or popish residues in the Church (e.g., an Episcopal system overseen by bishops and archbishops, ornate church buildings, and liturgies); emphasized personal piety, devotion, and the experience of personal conversion; and supported an educated ministry.
