How did the Puritans promote their "City Upon a Hill" philosophy?

A) began an intense building effort, creating numerous permanent structures
B) believed that all who desired salvation were granted it unconditionally
C) agreed that all people were eligible to participate in a godly society, whether they were church members or not
D) required a conversion test for male church members

The "City Upon a Hill" philosophy, as promoted by the Puritans, was rooted in the idea of creating a model society based on their religious principles. Part of establishing this model society involved ensuring that its members were genuinely committed to their faith. This commitment was assessed through a conversion test, which male church members were required to pass in order to demonstrate their personal experience of salvation and their understanding of Puritan doctrine. This practice was intended to maintain the purity and integrity of the church and, by extension, the society they were building.
