This book is a practical history of Puritan doctrine told in the context of their individual lives. In a vivid essay, it makes the lives of the Puritans real for today's church and provides practical lessons from their doctrinal instruction and lives during one of the most spiritually enlightened and doctrinally sound periods of the evangelical church. These great men continue to live today in confessions of faith, in church covenants, and in the sound doctrine and practice of today's heirs. This text is applied theology in its most useful form, illustrated in the lives of spiritual giants of the church. It is a text of history, systematic and practical theology, biography, and apologetics all in one: an example in the lives of the Puritans in the context of church history, doctrine, and practice.
