Problems related to Puritanism in British and American Literature

Original sin comes from the legend of Christianity and refers to the "sin" that human beings are born with and cannot get rid of. According to the Bible, there are two kinds of sins-original sin and original sin. Original sin is the sin and the root of sin left by ancestors' crimes. This sin is the crime committed by everyone in this life.

We can also learn from Augustine's exposition on original sin: when God created human beings, he did not give them evil seeds. However, because Adam and Eve, the ancestors of human beings, violated God's prohibition and ate the "fruit of wisdom", they committed crimes against God and passed on their sins to future generations. Therefore, everyone is born with "original sin"; Therefore, everyone should be punished by God. On the other hand, because God is merciful, he has given mankind the right to atone. Only through constant atonement can we get God's forgiveness and gift and be saved.

Weber's puritanical values: guiding practice through secular abstinence and rational lifestyle, putting into the call arranged or designated by God, reflecting the qualities of self-denial, honesty, piety and diligence, thus completing the mission of glorifying God and expecting to be redeemed or called by God.
