Synopsis
Explore a window into early American Puritan thought, where faith, church life, and daily obedience meet.
This volume compiles rigorous theological roots and practical guidance from a noted colonial pastor. It surveys the Christian life in two parts: faith and the practice that follows, from reconciliation with God to how believers live out their faith daily. Expect clear questions and answers about faith, church membership, sacraments, and the moral and ceremonial duties that shaped early 17th‑century religious life. The text reads as both doctrine and devotional guide, offering insight into how reformers framed salvation, church community, and everyday obedience.
- Definitions of key terms like justification, adoption, sanctification, and glorification.
- Explanations of moral and ceremonial observance and how believers relate to the law.
- Discussion of church membership, discipline, and the benefits of belonging to a local church.
- Practical reflections on how faith should shape thoughts, actions, and worship.
Ideal for readers interested in early American religious history, Puritan theology, and the everyday theology that guided colonial life.
Ideal for readers of historical theology, church history, and primary source religious writings from the early American church.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a captivating and insightful look into the life of Thomas Shepard, a prominent Puritan minister who played a key role in shaping the early religious landscape of New England. The author traces Shepard's journey from his childhood in England, marked by a difficult family life and a turbulent spiritual quest, to his emergence as a learned scholar at Cambridge University. Through Shepard's personal experiences, the book delves into the complex religious landscape of England during the turbulent period of the Reformation. It explores the struggle between Puritanism and the established Church of England, and sheds light on the persecution faced by those who sought a more pure and Scriptural form of Christianity. Shepard's own dramatic conversion experience, marked by intense spiritual struggle and a gradual unfolding of faith, highlights the inner turmoil many felt in seeking true religious understanding. The book explores the nature of true repentance and conversion, and sheds light on the vital role of scripture and prayer in navigating these deep and personal journeys. Shepard's story serves as a poignant reminder of the dedication and conviction of those who dared to challenge the status quo and build a new society based on their beliefs.
