Analyzing John Winthrop's "Christian Experience"

John Winthrop

John Singleton Copley


The Assignment: Read the "Christian Experience" carefully and trace the "journey" or the "action" of the writer's experience. Along the way, discuss at least two of the Tenets of Calvinism, which Winthrop appears to "wrestle with," for he has to attempt a reconciliation of these ideas in order to achieve atonement with God. In short, where does he begin his journey, both literally and spiritually, and where does he finally end up? How does he go from a being "lost" to being "found"? Write from a thesis and quote substantially from the primary source (s), including "Christian Experience" and The Tenets.
