When Calvin had arrived in Geneva, the city was in complete religious and political turmoil and this allowed him to continue writing the Institutes of Christian Religion that he had started writing in Basle. In 1541, the Little Council passed Calvin’s Ecclesiastical Ordinances which was an organisational method that Calvin had proposed that had 4 different offices of the church and explained how each person was to be appointed. This was a very important part of Calvin’s ideas that lead the success of the Genevan reformation as it was a systematic structure that shared out the responsibilities of the church and had a great emphasis on the discipline and education. The Ordinances also brought a sense of community in the city as everyone had a responsibility in running the church and the commoners knew who to go to if there were any problems. Furthermore, this led to the success of the reformation as all the appointments were passed through the Little Council.

They believed all people were born evil and that only the pre-determined grace of God could save them. Puritans strived to serve God in their ordinary lives and worked to establish strong spiritual communities. The community leaders flexed authority over all spiritual and financial matters which also included community laws and customs (Butterfield). Since faith was the centerpiece of Puritan life, it motivated all of their actions to establish settlements with strong ethical and spiritual goals.
The revolutionary gospel according to Samuel Adams: how a leader of the Sons of Liberty turned the patriot cause into a divine mission At the age of 55, Samuel Adams was an elder statesman of the Massachusetts delegation, and played a crucial role in the American Revolution. He was also one of the founding members of the Sons of Liberty, and was in charge of organizing the Boston Tea Party. The article focuses on the fact that Samuel Adams was more than a fanatical Patriot, but also a very religious man who based most of his actions and decisions under the influence of his Puritan God.

The First Great Awakening: 1720 - 1740’s Gerald Wilson Revivals. They are a part of our culture, especially here in the South, and a part of the religious experience of many. The Great Awakening, which began in 1720, with the preaching of Theodore J. Frelinghuysen in the area around New Brunswick, New Jersey, was truly our first American Revival on a large scale. Many of the things that prompted this revival also prompt our revivals today. Let’s look at the causes of the revival known as the Great Awakening and see if they have any modem counterparts.
