Review Quotes

[The conference papers] provide an invaluable resource for those who love Puritanism.--Erroll Hulse

The republication of these studies will . . . furnish Christians today with insight into the rich heritage of Puritan thought. In the shallowness, pragmatism, and confusion of much current evangelicalism, the depth, conviction, and steadiness of the Puritans can again help renew the churches.--W. Robert Godfrey, President Emeritus and Professor Emeritus of Church History, Westminster Seminary California
