Define some of the basic concepts of Puritan ideology and illustrate their significance in specific works. Choose from among the following: (a) human depravity, (b) absolute sovereignty, (c) predestination, (d) individualism/ reading, and (e) covenant theology. Using the authors we discussed in class i.e., John Winthrop, Anne Bradstreet, and Edward Taylor—you may even look at Jupiter Hammon and Phyllis Wheatly)—study at least two texts from two different authors. Then, in a thesis driven essay, discuss one or two basic Puritan ideologies found in each of the works analyzed.
