Lesson Four - "The Rise of Puritans in England and America”

This week we will continue our review of church history following the Reformation. After the reformation reached England under the rule of Henry VIII, the church in England separated from Rome. But the church in England was still much like the church it left in Rome. This new protestant church would undergo various reforms, but not enough for many, leading to the Puritan movement that would find root in Scotland and spread from there. Soon, the need for a new Bible translation would lead to the King James Version in 1611. The reformed movements would now need to refine their theology and clarify their beliefs in response to Rome and each other.
