Ten Facts About Puritans and Puritanism
The following ten Puritan Facts (with links to additional information) will help you to understand the Puritans and Puritanism, while also helping to lead you to greater practical and theological (doctrinal) sanctification, as they lead to the best Puritan books, MP3s and videos on the Puritans that are available today.
Puritan Fact #1: The Puritans were the greatest biblical theologians since the days of the Apostles.
Puritan Fact #2: "They (the Puritans - ed.) marry doctrine and practice. The Puritans did this by addressing the mind, confronting the conscience, and wooing the heart." - "Meet The Puritans: With a Guide to Modern Reprints" (2006), pages xx-xxi, written by Dr. Joel Beeke and Randal Pederson.
Puritan Fact #3: The Puritans lived their theology faithfully, suffering great persecution (including torture), and even painful martyrdom, to remain faithful to the Lord Jesus Christ according to the truth He has revealed in the Bible.
Puritan Fact #4: Puritans were instrumental in framing and adopting the Solemn League and Covenant, the greatest biblical covenant since the days of the Apostles - though some "Puritans" later defected from this faithful covenant and became covenant-breakers (e.g. Oliver Cromwell).
Puritan Fact #5: The Scottish Covenanters were considered Puritans in their time. "Samuel Rutherford preaching in Scotland, probably in the 1630s, says, 'Many are ashamed to own Christ, and to profess him, they will not be called Puritans.'" (cited in "Meet the Puritans" by Dr. Joel Beeke, p. 646, where Beeke is citing "The Puritan Hope" by Iain Murray, pp. xxiv-xxv).
Puritan Fact #6: The Puritans were the most faithful men at the famous Westminster Assembly and produced, in the Westminster Standards (the Westminster Confession of Faith, the Westminster Shorter Catechism, the Westminster Larger Catechism, etc.), the most biblical theological confessional standards the world has ever known.
Puritan Fact #7: John Owen, Thomas Watson, Thomas Brooks, Samuel Rutherford and George Gillespie wrote some of the most useful Puritan Books.
Puritan Fact #8: Puritan books are almost always superior to all other kinds of Christian books. Still Waters Revival Books makes many free Puritan books available online, as well as free Puritan sermons and free Puritan audio book MP3s. Also see the free Puritan Worship series of 57 MP3s by the modern-day Puritan preacher Greg Price.
Puritan Fact #9: Reformation Heritage Books, Solid Ground Christian Books, The Banner of Truth Trust, and Still Waters Revival Books, among others, are leading publishers reprinting Puritan books in our day.
