Puritan Beliefs: The Puritans believed that the Bible was God's true law, and that it provided a plan for living. The established church of the day described access to God as monastic and possible only within the confines of "church authority". Puritans stripped away the traditional trappings and formalities of Christianity which had been slowly building throughout the previous 1500 years. Theirs was an attempt to "purify" the church and their own lives. Each church congregation was to be individually responsible to God, as was each person. The New Testament was their model and their devotion so great that it permeated their entire society. People of opposing theological views were asked to leave the community or to be converted. In 1638, the first printing press arrived. By 1700, Boston became the second largest publishing center of the English Empire. The Puritans were the first to write books for children, and to discuss the difficulties in communicating with them. At a time when other Americans were physically blazing trails through the forests, the Puritans efforts in areas of study were advancing our country intellectually. Note that ". The Puritans were the first to write books for children, and to discuss the difficulties in communicating with them " could be used as a complimentary sentence. The information was gathered from: https://www3.nd.edu/~rbarger/www7/puritans.html

There is a lot more information on that page that could be used. But @BreeBree13 generally you just want to gather the information and answer the questions in a well written essay. I'm sure you will do fine, just work hard and don't get distracted in chat! :P
