This encyclopedic resource provides biographical sketches of all the major Puritans as well as bibliographic summaries of their writings and work. Meet the Puritans is an important addition to the library of the layman, pastor, student and scholar.

Endorsement
'The recent revival in interest in and commitment to the truths of Reformed theology is due in large measure to the rediscovery of Puritan literature. The Puritans of old have become the prophets for our time. This volume is a treasure for the church.' - DR. R. C. SPROUL, President of Ligonier Ministries

'Joel Beeke and Randall Pederson have given us a priceless treasure in this introduction to the Puritans and Puritan literature. I have often wished for just such a resource. An encyclopedic wealth of biographical and bibliographical information has been distilled here in a simple, readable, understandable, and wonderfully useful compendium. For the novice lay person who wants a reliable introduction to the Puritans, this is the perfect handbook. And for the seasoned scholar seeking a catalogue of the best available Puritan literature, this is also an indispensable tool. My prayer is that it will help spark a new wave of interest in the Puritans, a new appreciation for their theology, and especially a revival of their passion for careful biblical exposition.' - Dr. John MacArthur

'Finally, the resource we've always needed! Meet the Puritans is one of those books that raises the question: Why has this not been done before now? We are in Joel Beeke and Randall Pederson's debt for giving us the best introductory book on the Puritans ever made available. Meet the Puritans is nothing less than a who's-who of the Puritan tradition.' - Dr. R. Albert Mohler, Jr., President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky

Editorial Reviews

Review

The resurgent appetite for Puritan literature has produced long book lists and heavy bookshelves. Intimidated students and busy pastors ask, Where do I start? Regular readers of the Puritans ask, Where do I go from here? The obvious answer to both questions now is, Meet the Puritans. I am confident that God will mightily use this mind-enriching, heart-warming, and soul-satisfying publication to arouse new interest in the Puritans, to stimulate demand for their books, and so to multiply among us the Christ-centered lives they so passionately promoted. --Dr. David Murray

As furnaces burn with ancient coal and not with the leaves that fall from today s trees, so my heart is kindled with the fiery substance I find in the old Scripture-steeped sermons of Puritan pastors. A warm thanks to the authors of Meet the Puritans for all the labor to make them known. --DR. JOHN PIPER, Pastor, Bethlehem Baptist Church, Minneapolis, Minnesota

The Puritans English, Scottish, American, and Dutch are being read again! In an era of superficial discipleship and erratic, impotent, ailing, and dying churches, this is indeed a hopeful sign. And this wide-ranging handbook of backup information about the writers themselves, their special strengths, and modern reprints of their books, is another hopeful sign. Meet the Puritans is a fascinating compendium, scholarly yet popular and accessible, that Puritan-lovers will value very highly and justly so. --DR. JAMES I. PACKER, author of Knowing God and A Quest for Godliness

Good background information on the major Puritan figures and divines

Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2016

Good background information on the major Puritan figures and divines. Disappointed in the fact that no quotations by these theological giants are provided. This would have made the work more practical, especially for sermon writing.

Wonderful overview and introduction

Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2013

Verified Purchase

Wonderful overview and introduction. Though as a word of warning, this will probably encourage more spending. It did for me anyway, and now I just have to read the Works of Thomas Brooks that this encouraged me to buy.

I think this is probably intended for the person who has read at least a little of the well-known Puritans (start with Overcoming Sin and Temptation if you haven't) and intends to branch out to the other, less well known authors. It is absolutely worth the effort, and you'll be rewarded with far more serious and well considered theology than 9 of 10 "spiritual" works of today. By all means, buy this, and read the Puritans. The Church today needs their thinking, and the thoughts and actions of those who read them.

Anyone with even a little interest in the growth of gospel ministry and the promotion of godliness through preaching will be inspired by this collection of preachers, teachers and church leaders from the British church of the 16th and 17th centuries.

A great resource on the Puritan writers. I've been trying to read about one person a day and eventually will get through the whole book.

Great Reference Book

Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2014

Verified Purchase

I wanted to start reading more of the puritans, so I bought this book to learn more about the puritan authors and their writings as I read them. This book serves that purpose well. The authors of Meet the Puritans provide brief summaries of the lives and times of most all of the puritan writers and provide a small synopsis of their most popular writings. This really helps to bring extra life to the writings of these godly men of old.

short and sweet

Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2013

Verified Purchase

Succinct, short, and sweet- a brief fly over of the men who defined a faith long since neglected. What these men went through makes you realize that their faith was a gift given only by the one and only true God.
