Document Summary

Settling the northern colonies: the protestant reformation produces puritanism, 1517, martin luther started the protestant reformation when he nailed his 95 theses on the door of the wittenberg cathedral. Luther had several challenges to the roman church. Good works the person might"ve done): john calvin preached calvinism that stressed predestination (those going to heaven or hell has already been determined by god), basic christian doctrine was outlined in a 1536 document. Institutes of the christian religion. : it said people were sinful, it said only the predestined would go to heaven, a calvinist expected to see signs of predestination in a person"s life. The person was to have an outward conversion, recognized by others who"d been saved: an odd irony was created: predestination was very clear about. But, it created a question as to who"s on what side: the reasoning went: if a person lives a sinful life, then obviously he"s predestined to hell.
