J. I. Packer, D. M. Lloyd-Jones, lain Murray, and Ernest Kevan are among the distinguished contributors to this compilation of papers on a wide range of topics pertaining to Puritan and Reformed teaching, piety, and life. This volume, the first in a series, captures the principles and passion of Puritan belief as presented in the Puritan and Reformed Studies Conferences of 1956-1959. The twenty-three papers gathered in this book by design, 'practical and constructive, not merely academic, ' says Packer, and therefore helpful to pastors as well as the whole church. Topics include: Interpreting Scriptures, Christian Experience, Worship, Lord's Day, Life and Work of a Minister, Dealing with Troubled Souls, Law and the Covenant, Discipline, and Revival.
