About the Author
Richard Baxter (1615-1691) was a prominent English churchman and peacemaker who sought unity among Protestants. Born in Rowton to parents who undervalued education, he was largely self-taught. At age twenty-three he was ordained into the Church of England. Baxter became even better known for his prolific writing, with more than two hundred works to his name. His devotional classic, "The Saints' Everlasting Rest", was one of the most widely read books of the century. When asked what deviations should be permitted from the Anglican Book of Common Prayer, he created an entirely new one, "Reformed Liturgy", in two weeks. His autobiography and his pastoral guide, "The Reformed Pastor", are still widely read today.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex world of Christian ethics, exploring the practical application of faith in everyday life. Written during a time of intense religious and political debate, the author examines the intricate relationship between Christian principles and the conduct of individuals in society. The book goes beyond simply outlining rules and regulations, delving into the complexities of conscience and offering detailed guidance on navigating ethical dilemmas. Through a series of chapters, the author grapples with difficult questions concerning individual duties, family life, church practices, and political engagement. The book explores topics ranging from the nature of government and the obligations of rulers and subjects, to the ethical considerations involved in professions like law, medicine, and education. The author also provides guidance on how to navigate conflict, forgive wrongs, and practice charity. The book's primary focus is on the concept of "uprightness" - a life lived in accordance with God's will. The author argues that true uprightness involves not only sincerity and devotion to God but also a deep understanding of His word, a mastery of one's passions, and a willingness to sacrifice for the good of others. Ultimately, this book offers a timeless framework for living a meaningful and ethical life guided by Christian principles.
