The Puritan Family

Puritan family Edmund S. Morgan 's Puritan family showed a multifaceted view of all aspects of Puritan' s life. In this book, we, the audience are seeing the life of Puritan, so we are forced to reflect on ourselves. Puritan's beliefs and practices are complex and "mockery" as Puritan is seeing. Because Puritan believes in Jesus Christ, it is "Christian", but some may say that he has never sent a "Christian" life.

The book that attracted academic interest to this topic is Edmund S. Morgan, "The Puritan's Family" (1944, revised edition, 1966). In his view, the early New England family embodies the wider Puritan emphasis on hierarchy and order, but also reflects the value of Puritans for consent and reciprocity. Husbands, fathers, and families of owners have great authority because each family has certain rights and obligations. Morgan also believes that insurance premiums for families have influenced subsequent religious development in New England. He believes that Puritans believe in sacredness among families - godly parents are more likely to produce godly children than unbelieving parents. Due to the belief that Morgan called "spiritual tribalism", the preachers focused on pastoral efforts to remove new members of the Church from families led by church members of the old church.

In the community of Puritans, fathers are considered to be head of households. In Massachusetts State, according to Puritan's family of Edmund S. Morgan, there is a law that obligates head of household to educate children and to guide citizens. Families of Puritan society are means to achieve civic objectives (5. Kelly, 16). Family life is very important, and all members of society should be a member of the family. Since a child without a father does not belong to the family unit category, a true family is severely punished and brand as a devil child in the absence of an appropriate family member.
