In Pursuit of the Puritans and Their Piety

Drawing from a lifetime of study, Packer delves into the lives and teachings of great Puritan leaders such as John Owen, Richard Baxter, and Jonathan Edwards. He examines the Puritan understanding of the Bible, spiritual gifts, the Sabbath, worship, social action, and family. Puritan faith (says Packer) contrasts with the superficiality of modern Western Christianity. In a time when vision and values are failing, this powerful portrait of the Puritans is a beacon of hope that calls us to radical commitment and action, which are so needed today. Following the Puritans and their Piety (which is beautifully written) is a challenging exploration of Puritan life and thought. This is one of J. I. Packer's best works.
