Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Westminster Assembly is celebrated for its doctrinal standards and debates on church polity. But how often is the assembly noted for its extraordinary intervention in the pulpit ministry of the Church of England? In God’s Ambassadors , Chad Van Dixhoorn recounts the Puritan quest for a reformation in preachers and preaching and how the Westminster Assembly fit into that movement. He examines the assembly’s reform efforts, tracing debates and exploring key documents about preaching in a way that both highlights disagreements within the assembly’s ranks and showcases their collective plan for the church going forward. Moreover, Van Dixhoorn reveals the rationale behind the assembly’s writings and reforms, both in terms of biblical exegesis and practical theology. Unlike any other book, God’s Ambassadors draws attention to the lengths to which the Westminster Assembly would go in promoting godly preachers and improved preaching.

Download or read book The All Seeing Unseen Eye of God and Other Sermons written by Matthew Newcomen and published by Puritan Publications. This book was released on 2013-07-24 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a compilation of Newcomen’s most rare sermons. The sermons reflect a life dedicated to experiencing and understanding the bible, spiritual truth, and experimental Christianity. His preaching is eminently biblical, energetic and powerful. They clearly display the peculiar ability Newcomen had to capture the attention of a church congregation in order to teach them the great truths of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. His first sermon covers, “The All-Seeing Unseen Eye Of God” which is a fantastic exhortation to holiness taken from Hebrews 4:13, “But all things are naked and open unto the eyes of him, with whom we have to do.” God knows every person who ever was or will be, all their works, all their speeches, and all their thoughts, and such things are always present in the mind of God. This should prompt us to fear and revere God. This sermon alone is worth the cost of the volume. It is best exhortation on this subject matter in print. “The Craft and Cruelty of the Church’s Adversaries” is a powerful polemic against Roman Catholicism, Arminianism and Libertinism which deters Christians to the true faith found in Jesus Christ alone. He explains Nehemiah 4:11, “And our adversaries said, They shall not know nor see, till we come in the midst among them, and slay them, and cause the work to cease.” He shows how the church is at war with the wicked designs of men who would tear down the work of Jesus Christ. Also included is “Jerusalem’s Watchman,” “Walking Worthy of the Gospel,” and a funeral sermon on Acts 13:36.

Download or read book God the Best Acquaintance of Christians written by Matthew Newcomen and published by Puritan Publications. This book was released on 2012-08-26 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is a treatise on how to have a true relationship with Jesus Christ. Newcomen bases this discourse on Job 22:21, “Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.” He demonstrates what it means to have “converse” with God, or simply, to have a relationship with Him. There are reasons why men must have a true acquaintance with God, and that God has kindly allowed men to come into relationship with Him. Then Newcomen lays out motives to this acquaintance, the need to labor after it, how to keep it, and how to recover it if it becomes hindered or the sweetness of it is lost. This work is not a scan or facsimile, has been carefully transcribed by hand being made easy to read in modern English, and has an active table of contents for electronic versions.

Download or read book Select Memoirs of the English and Scottish Divines written by Thomas Smith and published by Puritan Publications. This book was released on 2011-09-21 with total page 780 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas Smith has written a tour de force biography of English and Scottish Divines from the Reformation and Puritan era. The work begins with the lives of renowned English Worthies who introduced and effected the glorious Reformation from popery, and concludes with those who were unsatisfied with the Romish peculiarities of the Church of England, and were therefore denominated Non-conformists or Puritans. There are contained in this volume 132 entries of varying length which treat each of these worthies and divines with the utmost respect for their work and labors for the Lord Jesus Christ. And it should be noted that with many of them they glorified God in their death as martyrs. Here you will meet the Puritans in their context of struggle and truth for the sake of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Also included are two introductory sections: “An Historical Sketch of the Christian Church” in three parts, and a "Short Introduction to the Lives of the Puritans." This is a major historical work, both for scope and accuracy. Among the noted entries are: Ames, Baille, Baxter, Bolton, Bradford, the Burgess' (both Anthony and Cornelius), Case, Cawdrey, Coverdale, Cotton, Fox, Gillespie, Goodman, Goodwin, Henderson, Hooker, Hooper, Janeway, Latimer, Lightfoot, Ridley, Rogers, Rutherford, Sibbes, Tyndale, Vines, and a host of others. For the Christian and student of the historical and doctrinal struggle for Reformation, there is also a convenient and helpful list of books and works by each author covered appended to the end of each memoir. “This is the best biography on the Puritans that I have ever read, or for that matter, the best biography I’ve ever read, period.” Therese B. McMahon

Download or read book Black Bartholomew s Day written by David J. Appleby and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2013-07-19 with total page 459 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black Bartholomew's Day explores the religious, political and cultural implications of a collision of highly-charged polemic prompted by the mass ejection of Puritan ministers from the Church of England in 1662. It is the first in-depth study of this heated exchange, centres centring on the departing ministers' farewell sermons. Many of these valedictions, delivered by hundreds of dissenting preachers in the weeks before Bartholomew's Day, would be illegally printed and widely distributed, provoking a furious response from government officials, magistrates and bishops. Black Bartholomew's Day re-interprets the political significance of ostensibly moderate Puritan clergy, arguing that their preaching posed a credible threat to the restored political order This book is aimed at readers interested in historicism, religion, nonconformity, print culture and the political potential of preaching in Restoration England.
