I am currently re-reading The Scarlet Letter as I prepare to teach an American literature course next year in a homeschool co-op. One thing that is striking me this time around is the way Hawthorne portrays Puritans and Puritanism (the last/first time I read TSL, I was 13, so I naturally missed...
Do we have any examples of the preaching calendar of Puritan Pastors? (i.e the sermons they preached in a church over 10 years?)
Did they mostly preach on one off verses, or did they ever work through the Bible chapter by chapter, book by book?

The Ordinal of the Church of England has several parts, to whch I can imagine many Puritans would object. Yet they were ordained in it, weren't they? Are these parts innovations added in 1662 or did they exist in the older prayerbooks too? I would assume that at minimum the part about submition...

Considering the rejection from Chiliastic and apparently all forms of millenarism, as the lutheran rejection in Augsburg Confession, the 42 articles rejection and finally the 2 Helvetic Confession rejection, puritan millenarism in Westminster Standards and Savoy Declaration of Faith are not a...

Hello. This resource is the Project Puritas Corpus of 6,500 Puritan and Non-Conformist works that were taken from EEBO-TCP & Evans-TCP. The texts then were searched for spelling errors, which created a list of errors our team could provide an alternative spelling for. Then the alternative list...
@davejonescue has been hinting toward pieces of this for a while but the three of us (Dave, Logan, and Alex) have been working somewhat in secret for a while and now it's finally time to share the fruits of our labor.

Hi All,
Wondering what are your thoughts on what some call Puritan superstitions regarding apparitions etc. The puritans believed anyone that rejected these activities was a sadducee or unbeliever. Richard Baxter has a book on the topic that you can find online. Just search Richard Baxter...
There are many people I so wish had written a proper systematic theology. I wish John Murray had; I wish Jonathan Edwards had; I wish Cornelius Van Til had. The one I most wish had written one, though, is John Owen. A year or so ago, I purchased the entire works of Owen (including his Hebrews...

Hello all,
I was wondering if there were any cultural distinctives within the Puritan movement, symbolism that they held to, symbols, greetings, verbiage, etc.
Every group of devout faith has held to certain distinctives, even outside of theological ones.
Just curious to what there may have...
Gents,
I've just been accepted into Puritan's MDiv program. Praise God! For those of you who know the school/studied there, what's your experience been of the piety, academics, and recognition of the seminary?
Thanks!
PS: I've been accepted into PRTS, RTS, and GPTS, and will be enrolling at...
"Doing the devil a great wrong...." Have you ever heard someone say that? I'm not sure in my readings of the venerable dead, that I ever heard one of them say that, however, blame wrongly given is sin (its a lie).
Here is Richard Capel again on that point, "Our heart does not stand free from...
Are there puritan commentaries on the book of Proverbs, preferably devotional ones?
I'm not looking for a critical or exegetical commentary, but a devotional one.
Any recomendations are welcome.
Friends,
In light of the recent Super Bowl, how are we to keep the Lord's Day holy? What are the practical nuts and bolts of it?
Is our main focus upon enjoying and worshipping the Lord only for public worship in the morning, or is it to extend to the whole day? Is it ok to eat out at...

Dear brethren,
Came across this last week. Volume 6 has some sermons on psalm 119. Just letting you guys know of a good deal in case anyone wanted to taste Manton before diving into buying more of him. (I haven't tasted Manton yet, but have heard much good things said). Going to grab myself a...

I've been working on a 700 page monster by Rev. Thomas Blake on covenant theology.
We simply cannot have enough good CT books out there.
It is a quintessential Westminster view and a really great work overall.
It is finally "done".
