Summary: Puritan Pulpit Ponderings
Review: A succinct and fascinating historical survey of the Puritan view of Scripture, preaching, and the gospel that includes their more contemporary progeny such as D. Martin Lloyd-Jones and Charles Haddon Spurgeon. The book is primarily a collection of the great Puritan preachers own words and serves as a potent piece of instruction and inspiration in our day of soft pulpits offering chatter and self help-help over a declaration of sin and grace. The appendix includes a contrast of the Finney and Puritan gospels that is a practical help regarding the preaching of the gospel.
