The Genius of Puritanism
Peter Lewis
Carey Publications
After a brief introduction to English Puritanism, in Part I Lewis presents their view of preaching. Part II covers the care they took to ensure that, by good hearing, their expositions were absorbed to profit. In part III, over half the book, there is an example of the pastoral genius of the Puritans&nbsp; and how they dealt with spiritual depressions such as lack of the sense of God's presence, lack of assurance and fears for the future. Various causes are explained followed by some very practical cures.The answers are wise, deep, and practical.
