Featured Puritans

Just like Baptists enslaved, maimed and killed Africans for 250 yrs right?

 

I've been reading The Love of Christ by Richard Sibbes, published as a Banner of Truth Puritan paperback. This is a series of sermons by Sibbes on the Song of Solomon, originally published with the interesting title of Bowels Opened. :laugh:

It's just wonderful! Our Lord is presented to us in such a wonderful way, it brings tears to my eyes, softie that I am.

Some of the 17th Century Particular Baptists are now being reprinted. These men were IMO true Puritans. John Bunyan wrote a lot of stuff other than Pilgrim's Progress. Try Come & Welcome to the Lord Jesus Christ and The Jerusalem Sinner saved, both published by BoT. I also recently got two books by Benjamin Keach from Solid Ground Christian Books. One was The marrow of True Justification which is one of the very best works on Justification that I've read. The other was The Travels of True Godliness which is an allegory somewhat similar to Pilgrim's Progress. Both very well worth reading, and the language is quite easy.

 

Agree here

Bunyan is often referred to as a Baptist Puritan

 

How about The Christian In Complete Armour by William Gurnall? Ummm!... That being said... I'm just starting that one and it will take a while!... Brother Glen

 

Duh. Thanks for that man. I cannot believe that I forgot it

 

Southern Baptists

 

I hate allegories....never got thru PP. Not even when i bought a Max McClain audio version. Found it tedious.

 

Persevere, brother, persevere! It's only the greatest book in the world after the Bible!

 

I find it to be tedious. You want a good book, read Martyn Lloyd Jones book on Christs teachings on the Sermon on the mount. Thats direct and to the point.

 

Try this one by John Bunyan: Reprobation Asserted.

 

Yea...whats it about?

 

Duh, Reprobation!

 

Naa dont believe in it. Hope there is none of that allegory tripe in it.

 

It isn't a story illustrated biblical doctrine. It is biblical doctrine explained.
