Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book rescues three little-known bestsellers of the English Reformation and employs them in an examination of intellectual and religious revolution. How did sixteenth-century English Protestant manuals of private devotion - often to be read aloud - stream continental theology into the domestic contexts of parish, school, and home? Patterson elucidates ideological programs presented in key texts in light of evolving patterns of public and private worship; she also considers the processes of transmission by which complex doctrinal debates were packaged for cultivating an everyday piety in a confusing age of inflammatory, politicized religion. It is in the most prosaic challenges of daily realities, that the deepest opportunities lie for experiencing the divine. Intersecting issues of piety, rhetoric, and the devotional life of the home, this book brings to life reformists' endeavors to guide popular responses to the Protestant revolution itself.

This book was released on 2012-05-08 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is a treatise on being biblically instructed to live in a godly manner during times of sickness, and times of dying. Perkins uses Ecclesiastes 7:3 as his main text, “The day of death is better than the day that one is born.” He covers the doctrine that the day of death is truly better than the day of birth for the people of God, and why. He explains the duties of a sick man which are threefold: the sick man has duties that are in respect to God, to himself, and to his neighbor; and the sick should have a specific type of disposition before God knowing that Jesus Christ is completely sovereign over all things. God controls when and how sickness occurs, and specially controls the day of one’s death. This is an extremely helpful work to aid the Christian in their endeavor to glorify God in all things, especially the providences of sickness and death which people are faced with every day.

Book excerpt: In "A Salve for a Sick Man," William Perkins explores the wisdom of Ecclesiastes 7:3, which states that the day of death is better than the day of birth. Perkins addresses objections and explores the deeper meaning behind this principle. He examines death as the loss of life and a punishment decreed by God due to human sin, emphasizing that it serves as both the absence of life and a just consequence. Perkins highlights that death, as ordained by God, is executed by Him and distinguishes it from the death of animals, emphasizing the temporary separation of the soul from the body in human death.The book then focuses on why the day of death can be considered better than the day of birth. Perkins acknowledges objections to this claim but explains that it holds true for those who genuinely repent and believe in Christ. He differentiates between those who live and die in sin without repentance and those who, through their faith, experience the birth of eternal happiness. Perkins underscores the significance of a righteous life and the preparation it provides for the journey beyond mortality.Overall, "A Salve for a Sick Man" offers profound theological insights and biblical perspectives on death, highlighting the importance of righteousness and faith in shaping one's view of mortality and the afterlife. Perkins encourages readers to contemplate the true nature of death and embrace a life dedicated to virtue and spiritual growth.

Book excerpt: Parsing the City updates our understanding of Jacobean city comedy’s discursive role in its London society. Working with three major plays by Ben Jonson and Thomas Middleton and Thomas Dekker, this book develops an updated reading of Jacobean city comedy as a dramatic subgenre whose engagement with early modern London was centrally linguistic and semiotic-- its plays staging and interrogating the city as a series of languages and language problems.
