Why You Should Read the Puritans

The Puritans are remembered for their great preaching, deep theological reflection, and meticulous exposition of Scripture. They defended and defined the Reformed faith in the decades following the Reformation, and usually found themselves at the center of both political and theological controversies. Many were imprisoned; some were even martyred. J. I. Packer calls them “visionary and practical, idealistic and realistic . . . goal-oriented and methodical. They were great believers, great hopers, great doers, and great sufferers.”

For years, we’ve offered several Puritan books, like John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress and Stephen Charnock’s The Existence and Attributes of God. Over the past year, however, we’ve added dozens of new collections to the Pre-Pub page.

With the addition of all these new titles, we decided it was time to put together a Puritan Product Guide, which features a complete list of books written by or about the Puritans available in Logos Bible Software.

This product guide contains the collected works of many well-known Puritans—including John Owen, Richard Baxter, and Jonathan Edwards—as well as several volumes of secondary literature, like J. I. Packer’s A Quest for Godliness and John Brown’s classic, The English Puritans.

This is just the tip of the iceberg—there are a total of 238 books and resources listed in the product guide! If you’re not yet acquainted with the Puritans, the Puritan Product Guide is the perfect place to begin. Even if you’re already familiar with the Puritans, you’ll likely discover some new gems by an author or two you might not have heard of.

What are you waiting for? Head on over to the product guide to start exploring all the new books and authors!
