Description :
In these pages Dr Joel Beeke provides us with a first-class tour
of some of the great sites of Reformed theology and spirituality. Here we meet
John Calvin, reformer extraordinaire; then we encounter the learned Dr William
Ames and the insightful Anthony Burgess. Soon we have travelled north to meet
the Scotsmen John Brown of Haddington, the great Thomas Boston and the
remarkable brothers, Ebenezer and Ralph Erskine.
Predictably, but
happily our guide brings us to The Netherlands and to the time of the Nadere
Reformatie, before taking us back to the New World in the company of the
remarkable Theodorus Jacobus Freylinghuysen.
But the climax of this tour
is not reached until our trusted guide has brought us to the family roots from
which all these theologians and pastors came — to the strong foundations of
Christian living in justification by faith and sanctification in life, nourished
by the power of biblical preaching. Puritan Reformed Spirituality is a tour de
force! I hope it will be widely read and enjoyed.
--Sinclair B. Ferguson
Spirituality is a subject much on the minds of people today. With
its prevailing secularism and materialism, modern culture has failed to satisfy
its consumers. The result is a new interest in discovering and nurturing the
inward, spiritual dimensions of human life. This book promotes biblical
spirituality through a study of the Reformed and Puritan heritage.
