Description

J. I. Packer's chapters on Jonathan Edwards's theology of revival, the Puritan idea of communion with God, and the Puritan conscience serve as highlights of the second volume of Puritan Papers. Equally important are D. JVIartyn Lloyd-Jones's chapters on true and false knowledge and "Puritan Perplexities: Lessons from 1640—1662."

Biographical chapters feature, in addition to Edwards, Philip Doddridge, John Knox, William Perkins, Thomas Boston, and John Owen. Themes developed in these sixteen papers include:

Revival
Apostasy
Communion with God
Christian Joy
Missions
Preaching
Divine Intercession
Casuistry
Conscience
Christology

Endorsements

"An invaluable resource for those who love Puritanism." — Erroll Hulse
