Question 2

Describe the attitudes toward death that characterize the Puritan community of 17th century New England.

Accepted Answer

The Puritan community of 17th century New England had a complex and multifaceted attitude toward death. On one hand, they viewed death as a natural part of life and believed in the concept of predestination, meaning that God had already determined who would be saved and who would be damned. This belief led to a sense of acceptance and resignation towards death, as they saw it as part of God's plan.

On the other hand, the Puritans also had a deep fear of death, as they believed that it was a consequence of original sin and a reminder of their own mortality. This fear was reflected in their strict religious practices and emphasis on leading a pious and virtuous life in order to secure a place in heaven.

Additionally, the Puritans also had a strong sense of community and believed in the importance of proper burial and mourning rituals. They saw death as an opportunity to come together as a community and support one another in times of grief.

Overall, the Puritan community of 17th century New England had a complex and nuanced attitude toward death, combining acceptance, fear, and a strong sense of communal support and religious significance.
