Meet the Puritans

[VirginiaHuguenot]

This looks good!

Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary in Grand Rapids, Michigan continues to set itself apart as a superior place to study Puritan literature. The seminary itself houses the Puritan Resource Center, one of the world´s largest collections of seventeenth and eighteenth century antiquarian volumes written by Puritans.

But the people of PRTS are completing another project that is certain to further distinguish the school as the premier facility for Puritan research.

PRTS President Joel R. Beeke and author Randall J. Pederson are putting the final touches on a new book project titled, Meet the Puritans. The book includes short biographies and a bibliography of over 140 Puritan authors! The hefty, 950-page book will serve pastors who want short introductions to Puritan authors, short summaries of each Puritan work and information about when those works were last printed.

This excellent resource should be available before Christmas from Reformation Heritage Books.

I got my copy this week. It is excellent. Thanks to Joel Beeke and Randall Pederson for a valuable contribution to the church in making this work available.

May your historical tidbits and posts increase. I've already profited greatly from many of the bios - and added to my bookbuying wishlist as well!

Wow! How on earth is a 935-page hardcover book available for just $25?

 

[VirginiaHuguenot]

I am told that this book is so popular that it is being prepared for a second edition which may go to the printer this week.

2nd printing or 2nd edition? New/revised materials?

 

[ReformedDave]

I'll bet 2nd printing. BTW, it is a fine book!

 

[VirginiaHuguenot]

I'm not sure to what extent new material may appear in this second edition/printing, but I think mention will be made this time of the Encyclopedia Puritannica Project. I'd also like to see a review of Bremer and Webster's Puritan Encyclopedia.

Looks like a good resource.
