A Guide to the Puritans
A Topical and Scriptural Index to the Writings of the Puritans and Their Successors
Robert P. Martin’s Guide, available for the first time in hardback, aims to help any reader interested in the wide range of works available from the Puritans and their successors. That last word is significant, because the scope of Martin’s indexing work extended not merely to those in the 16th and 17th centuries who might properly be called ‘Puritans,’ but also to figures of the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries who have stood in the Reformed, evangelical tradition of the Puritans, both feeding on and developing their approach.
Efficient and organized for any reader
Neither a scholarly apparatus nor a comprehensive guide to the corpus of Puritan writing, but a helpful orientation to a tradition, and a guide for those with an appetite to read the Puritans and their successors more, and to read them better. This book is an excellent aid for those in search of what the Puritans had to say on specific topics and texts, and those eager for some direction in their reading.
