Inhaltsangabe

Explore a window into early American Puritan thought, where faith, church life, and daily obedience meet.

This volume compiles rigorous theological roots and practical guidance from a noted colonial pastor. It surveys the Christian life in two parts: faith and the practice that follows, from reconciliation with God to how believers live out their faith daily. Expect clear questions and answers about faith, church membership, sacraments, and the moral and ceremonial duties that shaped early 17th‑century religious life. The text reads as both doctrine and devotional guide, offering insight into how reformers framed salvation, church community, and everyday obedience.

• Definitions of key terms like justification, adoption, sanctification, and glorification.


• Explanations of moral and ceremonial observance and how believers relate to the law.


• Discussion of church membership, discipline, and the benefits of belonging to a local church.
