The A to Z of the Puritans
Author: Charles Pastoor
Publisher: Scarecrow Press
ISBN: 0810870398
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 436
Book Description
Members of the Church of England until the mid-16th century, the Puritans thought the Church had become too political and needed to be 'purified.' While many Puritans believed the Church was capable of reform, a large number decided that separating from the Church was their only remaining course of action. Thus the mass migration of Puritans (known as Pilgrims) to America took place. Although Puritanism died in England around 1689 and in America in 1758, Puritan beliefs, such as self-reliance, frugality, industry, and energy remain standards of the American ideal. The A to Z of Puritans tells the story of Puritanism from its origins until its eventual demise. This is done through a chronology, an introduction, a bibliography, and several hundred cross-referenced dictionary entries on important people, places, and events.

A Practical Theology of Family Worship
Author: Jonathan Williams
Publisher: Reformation Heritage Books
ISBN: 160178886X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 165
Book Description
Baxter believed that family worship is God’s will, a conviction that profoundly shaped and motivated his pastoral ministry in Kidderminster. It is said that, at the beginning of his ministry, hardly one family to a street honored God in family worship; by the end of his ministry, there were streets on which every family upheld the practice. In A Practical Theology of Family Worship, Jonathan Williams examines Baxter’s context, the encouragements he gave for family worship, and his family-equipping ministry among the congregation. This study develops our understanding of this vital spiritual discipline among the Puritans. Yet it also draws out implications for family ministry in churches today. Table of Contents: 1. The Blessings of Family Worship 2. Historical Examination of Baxter’s Context as a Seventeenth-Century English Puritan 3. Baxter’s Encouragement for Family Worship 4. Family Worship Brings Opportunities for Teaching the Word of God 5. Family Worship Fills the Home with Prayer and Praises 6. Baxter’s Family-Equipping Ministry at Kidderminster 7. Implications for Today’s Church and Family Ministry Appendix 1: Further Encouragement for Family Worship Appendix 2: A Sample Guide for Family Worship Appendix 3: Opportunities for Reflection: Discussion Questions

Matthew Poole
Author: Thomas Harley
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595525024
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 229
Book Description
Matthew Poole (1624 79), author of the famous Synopsis Criticorum Biblicum, was a seventeenth century ecclesiastical leader, nonconformist, apologist, and minister in England. Poole is best remembered for his Synopsis in the scholarly Latin tongue, and the English language Annotations upon the Holy Bible (the modern day A Commentary on the Holy Bible) written for the layperson. These works were highly valued by such divines as Charles Spurgeon and Jonathan Edwards. Poole began his literary life by submitting to publication a significant treatise against John Biddle's writings on the Holy Spirit. He also gave his name to the endorsement of two published tracts: one against the Quakers and the other an evangelistic appeal upon the occasion of a notorious murderer in London. Learn more about Poole's fascinating life and the numerous controversies in which he was engaged. The controversy that consumed most of his energy and time was his argument against the infallibility of the Roman Catholic Church, saying that Catholics have no grounding for their faith and that Protestants have a very firm grounding for faith in the Scriptures.
