The extent to which Puritan authors have been reprinted in the second half of the twentieth century is one of the most significant facts in contemporary Christian history. But the very scale of the reprinting has constituted a problem. What titles precisely have been reprinted? On what subjects? On which protions of Scripture? Initially exploring these questions for his own benefit, Dr Robert Martin came to see how many others would benefit from knowing the answers. Both for those who are only beginning to read the Puritan tradition and, still more, for those who are already regular students, this book will prove an invaluable guide. Dr. Robert P. Martin is pastor of Emmanuel Baptist Church, Seattle, Washington. 532 pages, softcover from Banner of Truth.

Who are the Puritans? And What Do They Teach
Erroll Hulse
Retail Price: $16.19
CBD Price: $12.99
Buy 36 or more for $12.34 each.
( In Stock )
Who were the great people of faith, the Puritans? When did they live? What did they accomplish? What did they teach? Erroll Hulse seeks to introduce modern Christians to the finest theological inheritance ever. His concern extends beyond narrating the story. He wants to create enthusiasm for the Puritans in order to profit from their practical example and benefit from their unique balance of doctrine, experience and practice. The author reminds the reader that the Puritans were men of deep theological understanding and vision who prayed for the earth to be filled with the knowledge of the glory of God as the waters cover the sea. Historically the Puritan epoch is best able to supple the teaching that engenders holy living and stability. They were strongest where the churches in general are weakest today.

Puritans in the New World: A Critical Anthology
David D. Hall, Editor
Retail Price: $28.95
CBD Price: $20.99
( Only 1 in stock - order soon! Additional quantities may be backordered. )
This book tells the story of the powerful yet turbulent culture of the English people who embarked on an "errand into the wilderness." It presents the Puritans in their own words, shedding light on the lives both of great dissenters, such as Roger Williams and Anne Hutchinson, and of the orthodox leaders who contended against them. Classics of Puritan expression, like Mary Rowlandson's captivity narrative, Anne Bradstreet's poetry, and William Bradford's Of Plymouth Plantation appear alongside texts that are less well known but no less important: confessions of religious experience by lay people, the "diabolical" possession of a young woman, and the testimony of Native Americans who accept Christianity. Hall's chapter introductions provide a running history of Puritanism in seventeenth-century New England and alert readers to important scholarship. Above all, this is a collection of texts that vividly illuminates the experience of being a Puritan in the New World. This book will be welcomed by all those who are interested in early American literature, religion, and history.

CBD Price: $17.99
( In Stock )
J.I. Packer has ahd a long-standing passion for the Puritans. Their understanding of God and His ways with man has largely formed his own spirituality and theological outlook. In A Quest for Godliness, the esteemed author of Knowing God and a dozen other books shares with his readers the rich world of Puritanism that has been so influential in his own life. Dr. Packer masterfully uncovers the hidden treasures of Puritan life and thought. With crystalline clarity he reveals the depth and breadth of Puritan spiritual life, contrasting it with the superficiality and deadness of modern Western Christianity. Drawing on a lifetime of study, Dr. Packer takes the reader on a survey of the lives and teachings of great Puritan leaders such as John Owen, Richard Baxter, and Jonathan Edwards. he offers a close look at such subjects as the Puritan view of the Bible, spiritual gifts, the Sabbath, worship, social action, and the family. He concludes that a main different between the Puritans and ourselves is spiritual maturity--the Puritans had it; we don't. Educated at Oxford University, Dr. James I. Packer has served as assistant minister at St. John's Church of England, Harborne, Birmingham and Senior Tutor and Principal at Tyndale Hall.

The Puritan Hope
Iain H. Murray

( Only 2 in stock - order soon! Additional quantities may be backordered. )
Today the Church's hope in respect to her mission of discipling all nations is in eclipse. The world gives Christianity no future and evangelicals themselves doubt whether the cause of Christ can ever attain to a greater triumph before his Second Advent. Many questions are brought to the fore in this book and the author, employing both exposition of Scripture and much historical and biographical material, sets out the case for believing that it is not 'orthodox' to indulge in gloom over the prospect for Christianity in the world.

Liberty of Conscience: The History of a Puritan
L. John Van Til
CBD Price: $14.99
( Available to ship on or about 01/03/10. )
Hardly a day passes in which we don't hear a news story involving freedom of expression or freedom of religion. The meaning of the First Amendment is as hotly debated as ever, and often the central issue is liberty of conscience. What limits, if any, should there be on actions flowing from personal convictions? And who should set those limits? Is the conscience answerable to the state? to a national church? to God alone? In this volume the author traces the development of liberty of conscience from the English Puritan William Perkins to the First Amendment two hundred years later. He gives special attention to Perkins himself, Roger Williams, the Westminster Assembly, the colonial charters, and state and federal constitutions. In so doing the author shows how liberty of conscience became a fundamental idea in the American mind and why it remains such an important issue today.

The Religious Affections
Jonathan Edwards
CBD Price: $19.00
( In Stock )
This book is among the best-known works of Jonathan Edwards. Edwards seeks to distinguish between true and false religion by showing the marks of a saving work of the Holy Spirit in men. In his Preface, Edwards stresses the importance of using "our utmost endeavors clearly to discern ...wherein true religion does consist". For "till this be done, it may be expected that great revivings of religion will be but of short continuance". Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) was one of the few truly great theologians of the English-speaking world, who began his ministry at Northampton, Massachusetts, when New England had drifted from the Puritanism of its founders.
