Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard Baxter's 'A Christian Directory' (Vol. 1-4) is a comprehensive guide for Christian living that covers a wide range of topics including prayer, worship, virtues, and vices. Written in the 17th century, Baxter's work reflects the Puritan tradition of practical theology and combines spiritual insight with practical advice on how to live a godly life. The book's dense prose and detailed explanations make it a valuable resource for those seeking to deepen their spiritual practice and moral understanding. Baxter's emphasis on personal piety and ethical conduct resonates throughout the pages, reminding readers of the importance of faith in everyday life. Richard Baxter was a prominent English Puritan preacher and writer known for his works on theology and devotional literature. His pastoral experience and commitment to the Protestant Reformation influenced his writing, as seen in 'A Christian Directory.' Baxter's dedication to the spiritual well-being of his congregation led him to compile this extensive guide, drawing from his own experiences as a minister. I highly recommend 'A Christian Directory' to readers interested in exploring the intersection of faith and practical living. Baxter's timeless wisdom and profound insights continue to inspire and challenge Christians to grow in their relationship with God and cultivate a life of holiness.

CHRISTIAN POLITICS, (OR DUTIES TO OUR RULERS AND NEIGHBOURS.)THE PRACTICAL WORKS OF RICHARD BAXTER with a preface, giving some account of the author, and of this edition of his practical works.AN ESSAY ON HIS GENIUS, WORKS, AND TIMES;AND A PORTRAIT.Readers,The book is so big that I must make no longer preface, than to give you this necessary, short account, I. Of the quality; II. And the reasons of this work.1. The matter you will see in the contents: As Amesius's "Cases of Conscience" are to his "Medulla," the second and practical part of theology, so is this to a "Methodus Theologiæ" which I have not yet published. And, 1. As to the method of this, it is partly natural, but principally moral; that is, partly suitable to the real order of the matter, but chiefly of usefulness, secundum ordinem intentionis, where our reasons of each location are fetched from the end. Therefore unless I might be tedious in opening my reasons à fine for the order of every particular, I know not how to give you full satisfaction. But in this practical part I am the less solicitous about the accurateness of method, because it more belongeth to the former part, (the theory,) where I do it as well as I am able.2. This book was written in 1664 and 1665 (except the Ecclesiastic Cases of Conscience, and a few sheets since added). And since the writing of it, some invitations drew me to publish my "Reasons of the Christian Religion," my "Life of Faith," and "Directions for Weak Christians;" by which the work of the two first chapters here is more fully done; and therefore I was inclined here to leave them out; but for the use of such families as may have this without the other, I forbore to dismember it.3. But there is a great disproportion between the several parts of the book. 1. The First Part is largest, because I thought that the heart must be kept with greatest diligence, and that if the tree be good the fruit will be good; and I remember Paul's counsel, "Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee," 1 Tim. iv. 16. Nothing is well done by him that beginneth not at home: as the man is, so is his strength, and work. 2. The two first chapters are too coarse and tedious for those of the higher form, who may pass them over. But the rest must be spoken to; to whom that is unprofitable which is most suitable and pleasant to more exercised and accurate wits. The grand directions are but the explications of the essentials of christianity, or of the baptismal covenant, even of our relation-duties to God the Father, Son, (in several parts of his relation,) and of the Holy Ghost. The doctrine of Temptations is handled with brevity, because they are so numerous; lest a due amplification should have swelled the book too much; when a small part of their number maketh up so much of Mr. John Downame's great and excellent treatise, called, "The Christian Warfare." The great radical sins are handled more largely than seemeth proportionable to the rest, because all die when they are dead. And I am large about Redeeming Time, because therein the sum of a holy, obedient life is included.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Essence of Christianity is a book by Ludwig Feuerbach in which he explains his philosophy and critique of religion. Feuerbach's theme was a derivation of Hegel's speculative theology in which the Creation remains a part of the Creator, while the Creator remains greater than the Creation. In Part One, Feuerbach developed what he calls the "true or anthropological essence of religion", treating of God in his various aspects. Thus God is nothing else than man: he is, so to speak, the outward projection of man's inward nature. In Part Two he discusses the "false or theological essence of religion", i.e. the view which regards God as having a separate existence over against man._x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_
