Puritan Papers

J. I. Packer, D. M. Lloyd-Jones, Iain Murray, and Ernest Kevan are among the distinguished contributors to this compilation of papers on a wide range of topics pertaining to Puritan and Reformed teaching, piety, and life. This volume, the first in a series, captures the principles and passion of Puritan belief as presented in the Puritan and Reformed Studies Conferences of 1956-1959.The twenty-three papers gathered here are, by design, "practical and constructive, not merely academic," says Packer, and therefore helpful to pastors as well as the whole church. Topics include¿ Interpreting scripture¿ Christian experience¿ Worship¿ The lord's day¿ The life and work of a minister¿ Dealing with troubled souls¿ The law and the covenants¿ Discipline¿ Revival
