I thought this picture was funny, and that Felix would appreciate being included in history class. He is, after all, the professor.

Connections between the Great Awakening and Independance
*the people realize that the Church of England is not the only way to salvation
*they realize that no "Church" is; only Christ. John Whitfield unassociated itinerant preacher.
*Learned to be free of institutons. If they didn't need institutions, they didn't need the institution of English rule. Freedom & Independance.
-Two intellectual traditions: Religious/Enlightenment
1.
*Religious: Judeo-Christian faith. Man inherently evil.
*Enlightenment: Baconian science, reason emphasized. Man inherently good & able to perfect himself.
2.
*Religious: Man powerless to save himslef
*Enlightenment: Man can perfect himself through reason
3.
*Religious: Truth revealed in Word of God
*Enlightenment: Truth revealed in nature & discovered through reason.
