List of Puritans
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Puritans were originally members of a group of English Protestants seeking "purity" – that is, further reforms or even separation from the established church – during the Reformation. This group is also extended to include some early colonial American ministers. The majority of people in this list were mainstream Puritans, adhering quite strictly to the doctrine of Predestination. The more moderate ones, who tended towards Arminianism, have the label "Arminian" behind their names.
