For the Puritans some aspects of Christianity are fundamental. Among them we can point to the idea of Grace, that is, "undeserved favor". For them, both material goods and salvation are strictly derived from divine grace. A second fundamental point is the notion that the Bible (and not the Church) is God's sole source of authority in religious faith and practice. Finally, a third point that can be quoted is the idea of "covenant." The "covenant" is an alliance established by God with individuals.
