It is divided into two main sections: (1) a religious one where I will cover the most significant elements, and the ideological context of what was the most decisive cultural force in the formation of the new country &#8213;Puritanism&#8213;; and (2) another that succinctly describes the particular shape that enlightened thought acquired in that part of the British Empire. A description of eighteenth-century Puritan North America requires a closer look at the version of Calvinism prevalent in the Northeastern seaboard, and therein to the cultural phenomenon of religious revivalism. Now connected to these variables lie a series of theological conceptions that shaped Puritan belief and practice in manifold ways, and that will be covered in the first section of this work: Arminianism, Antinomianism, Millennialism, and Religious Enthusiasm, among others.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[Resumen El presente artículo tiene por objetivo la descripción del contexto religioso e intelectual de la Norteamérica prerrevolucionaria. Está dividido en dos secciones principales: (1) una religiosa en donde se abordarán los elementos más significativos y el contexto ideológico de lo que sería la fuerza cultural más decisiva en la formación del futuro país -puritanismo-, y (2) otra que de manera sucinta describirá la particular forma que el pensamiento ilustrado adquirió en esa región del Imperio británico. Una descripción del puritanismo estadounidense dieciochesco nos obliga a un análisis del calvinismo característico de la costa nororiental, así como del fenómeno cultural de los avivamientos religiosos. Ahora bien, conectadas con estas variables yacen una serie de conceptos teológicos que moldearían la devoción y práctica puritana de diversas maneras, y que serán cubiertas en la primera sección del presente trabajo: arminianismo, antinomianismo, milenialismo y entusiasmo religioso, entre otros.]]></p></abstract>
