 Jonathan Edwards: A Life
George M. Marsden

CBD Price: $16.49
( In Stock )
Excerpt
Jonathan Edwards led a rich intellectual and spiritual life that went
far beyond the more well known fire-and-brimestone sermons he delivered
in colonial America. In this biography, Edwards' life is carefully
detailed from observing God's handiwork from his childhood through his
adolescent struggles with faith. Marsden, a highly regarded American
church historian, discusses Edwards' powerful preaching in the revivals
that dominated the Connecticut Valley in the First Great Awakening and
beyond and evaluates Edwards' successful mission to the Indians.

 John Owen: The Man and His Theology
Sinclair B. Ferguson
Retail Price: $16.99
CBD Price: $12.99
Buy 36 or more for $12.34 each.
( In Stock )
Excerpt
The chapters of this book were originally delivered as papers at a
symposium on the life and teaching of John Owen at the John Owen Centre
for Theological Study in London. Owen's life from 1616
until 1683 spans one of the most momentous epochs in the history of
Britain. How should we assess this man of so many talents, once a
country pastor, an army chaplain, head of an Oxford college and
vice-chancellor before becoming a leader among the persecuted
Nonconformists? Beginning with an overview of his life and times, the contributors consider various aspects of
John Owen's theology and the significance of his work for his own day
and for ours. Contributor Carl R. Trueman states, "I do wish to commend
Owen to students, ministers, and thoughtful Christians in general, as a
good example of how theology can be done in a serious and profound
manner."

 Richard Sibbes
Mark Dever
Retail Price: $30.00
CBD Price: $23.99
( In Stock )
Excerpt
Mark Dever offers a scintillating and penetrating study on the life of
Sibbes. His sensitive and surefooted exposition of Sibbes's theological position is fresh and he portrays him as "one of the last great
Reformed preachers of England to believe in theory and know in practice
an officially undivided covenant community." He brings to his exposition
of Sibbes's practical theology, a wide and
deep acquaintance with 16th and 17th century Reformed
theology, and also a sensibility warmly sympathetic to the
nuances of Sibbes's writing. The result is a marvelously lucid and persuasive account of early modern protestant thought, during a
period which Sibbes himself has described as "the best tymes of the gospel."

 Puritans in the New World: A Critical Anthology
David D. Hall, Editor
Retail Price: $35.00
CBD Price: $24.99
( Available to ship on or about 07/19/13. )
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.
