This dissertation attempts to search a branch of the roots of America's moral culture. To reach this goal, this paper examines Winthrop's puritanic visions in seventeenth-century New England and his lay sermon, "A Model of Christian Charity," which declares the rules for the activities of the immigrants in New England. John Winthrop, fascinated with Puritanism for the Reformation, led many puritans from England to New England and built the Massachusetts Bay Colony in Boston in 1630.
The first chapter deals with the importance of Puritanism and John Winthrop's role in creating the American Mind. As Perry Miller said, it is impossible for us to understand America without some understanding of Puritanism. Puritanism is protestant Christianity. Puritanism is not a rejection of traditional Christianity, but rather the attempt to purify and conserve it. Above all, the Puritan's aim is to be more Christian than the Christians of other religious sectors such Catholicism or the Episcopal Church of England. In Chapter ?U, I analyze how the ideal visions of John Winthrop transformed itself into today's American foreign policies with negative aspects compared to the early Winthrop's ideal visions that were brought into New England. The symbol of America as "a city upon a hill" is the triumphant issue of early New England rhetoric, which derived from Puritanism and the long-ripened ritual of its socialization. Chapter ?V deal with the idea of national election, American exceptionalism which is affected by Puritanism and John Winthrop's sermon. American exceptionalism refers to the theory that the United States occupies a special niche in terms of its national credo, political and religious institutions and unique origins in American history. The roots of the term are attributed to Alexis de Tocqueville, who noted that the then-fifty-year-old United States held a special place among nations, because it was a country of immigrants and the first modern democracy. Many scholars who study American studies proceeded to identify Winthrop's "Christian Charity" as the key text in the development of American exceptionalism, sparking an intense debate over the New England contribution to the sense of American national destiny. In Chapter ?W, I try to explain the Calvinism which Calvin declared in the Reformation and analyze the "covenant" and the ideal "commonwealth" in the Winthrop's Arbella sermon, A Model of Christian Charity in 1630. Winthrop's model of vocation reminded his audience of the prophecies they inherited about their promised future, inspired the values of piety, frugality, and diligence in one's worldly calling in the minds of people. He envisioned a a city upon a hillthat would be guiding lights to other people. He strove always to include visions as many as possible in his journey toward a better world, and to teach the immigrants to love one another through his sermon, A Model of Christian Charity. John Winthrop's most enduring message lies in the inspirational message of his sermon Christian Charity. It is this message and Winthrop's ideal visions which the American citizens see as the meaning of John Winthrop's life and that they identify as the best that America stands for in the modern world. So far not many scholars have paid attention to how John Winthrop's ideal visions are connected to the present American conditions, political or economic.
This paper also show how Winthrop helped to prevent the Massachusetts Colony from being blown off course by the winds of the outside interference and from being corrupted in those frontier days. This paper also show how the leader of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, John winthrop, has become the foundation of the United States.
In conclusion, I argue that John Winthrop's puritanic visions in seventeenth-century New England are the primary sources of today's American Mind and moral culture.
