[h=3]A Puritan Theology: Doctrine for Life[/h]Author: Joel Beeke and Mark Jones

This new work offers a groundbreaking treatment of the Puritans' teaching on most major Reformed doctrines, particularly those doctrines in which the Puritans made significant contributions. The book addresses Puritan teachings on all six loci of theology, covering fifty areas of doctrine. It explores Puritan teachings on biblical interpretation, God, predestination, providence, angels, sin, the covenants, the gospel, Christ, preparation for conversion, regeneration, coming to Christ, justification, adoption, church government, the Sabbath, preaching, baptism, heaven, hell, and many other topics. It ends with eight chapters that explore Puritan "theology in practice." Some chapters highlight the work of a specific theologian on a specific topic. Other chapters survey various authors on a particular subject. The goal of A Puritan Theology is to increase knowledge in the mind and godliness in the soul.

I am asking for this for my Birthday. It looks like such a wonderful resource, especially for those of us who are new to Reformed Theology.
 
I just ordered mine last night and cannot wait to get it! It is my birthday gift from my wife, pretty sweet!!
 
I did not even know this book existed. :)

Going to have to hold off right now, but will be ordering in due time.
 

Yes I am drooling now. "It explores Puritan teachings on biblical interpretation, God, predestination, providence, angels, sin, the covenants, the gospel, Christ, preparation for conversion, regeneration, coming to Christ, justification, adoption, church government, the Sabbath, preaching, baptism, heaven, hell, and many other topics" Wonder what the "many other topics" are. Seems like that list pretty much covers it.:gpl:

I think this book will provide a phenomenal backdrop to the theology of the Westminster Standards. We (by we I include "me") often read clauses assuming we know what they mean but don't realize there is much more behind the words we read.
 
My order will be here soon but apparently it is not available until 10/15 but I have a question in the meantime. Will this book cover the federal headship in any capacity? I am wondering if I will need to get a different book or if this will cover this topic. Thanks for any input you can provide.
 
I was thrilled to see that death has not stopped J.I. Packer from writing forwards and endorsements. That guy is amazing!
 
I narrate books from the Kindle, but for reading I wanted to have the hard copy. I needed to see lots of illustrations. By the way, there are pictures of puritans on Sermon Audio that are in error. No pictures of these puritans exist,
Joseph Alleine, Thomas Brooks, and William Gurnall. I am a mailman, and I think that the common picture of Thomas Goodwin is fitting for the bulletin board as one walks into the Post Office. I wanted to see what Beeke wrote, in this book,
on puritans and preparatory grace. I understand that Steven Dilday translated some William Ames from Latin to be included here. I am interested in any new light on this. I gave Dr. Beeke a 60 page paper I wrote on it, but he is
too busy to read these things, I think. I was told he is co-writing another book with Paul Smalley about this subject since this was Smalley's Master's dissertation at Puritan.
 
Welcome to the board Mr. Sullivan. Please click on the link in my signature and fix your signature accordingly per board rules. Thanks very much.
 
He's alive!!! I seriously thought he died. Who am I thinking of then? This is weird. Don't tell JI that I said he was dead... he won't write the forward to my book.

IT WAS STOTT! I get my Anglicans mixed up. Sorry James, it was Stott and wow, it's been over a year already.
