Puritanism is a term which belongs to the past. Can it be a vital possession of the present? There is a revival of interest in the Puritans today. Why? Because they were strongest where the Church today is weakest. They concentrated on right priorities: the Church, the preaching of the Word, and nurturing one's spiritual life. They were indeed "physicians of souls."
Lewis observes that the Puritans focused themselves on "the great business of godliness", so as to bring a God-exalting and gospel-saturated approach to all things.
"Lewis provides an excellent foretaste of the rich meal that readers of the works of the Puritans can enjoy. His arrangement of the matter -- the brief biographical touches, the judicious selections threaded into a continuing theme, etc., is brilliant." -- Dr. D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
"This is an excellent introduction to the Puritans, their writings, and their pastoral work. It examines their role as pastors, counselors, and theologians, as well as private people. The detailed section on spiritual depression is especially helpful." -- Joel R. Beeke
