The City Upon a Hill Theory was created by John Winthrop and was included in Puritanism. This theory was a creation of a new colony that would be a place of complete reform where God could be found in scripture. Within this theory a strong education system was created to teach men to be preachers and read the Word of God. They believed that education was important in order to read the Bible and receive salvation. The Puritans made colleges specifically for this type of education such as Harvard and Princeton.

Witchcraft hysteria started with the Puritans. They believed that Satan was real and was the cause of natural disasters. They also thought that Satan would gather witches to work for him to harm others. It was common to believe that Satan was active in hard times and to think Native Americans were demons sent by him. This belief caused neighbors to accuse each other of witchcraft if they had an argument and felt ill later that day.

Calvinism is a Protestant theological system created by John Calvin. This belief system focuses on predestination and the grace of God. The concept of predestination was that you were either "elect" by God which meant you were saved and salvation belonged to you, or "unregenerate" meaning damned. The grace of God was a gift of salvation and by receiving this you were reborn to live uprightly. The Puritans followed this theological system within their religion.
