Description
Meet the Puritans
is the only comprehensive guide to the lives and works of more than 120 Puritan authors, leaders, and theologians.
Each Puritan receives a biographical vignette that is comprehensive in scope, but which emphasizes their major contributions to the movement. Each biography varies in length according to the contributions of each person; some are as short as one-two pages while others are well over 20 pages.
Accompanying the biographies are brief synopses of each author’s work and the historical provenance and significance of each is explained. The biographies reflect the basic facts of each life, and problematic areas are not glossed over. Moreover, for each Puritan work, bibliographic information is provided and lists the most recent edition or (in the opinion of the authors of
Meet the Puritans
) the best edition of the work still in print today.
Thus,
Meet the Puritans
truly provide an introduction both to every major Puritan, but also a handy bibliographic reference to their works.
