Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“Puritans are often depicted as legalistic disciplinarians who agonized over predestination. This richly researched book offers an important corrective. Isaac Ambrose was a Puritan pastor devoted to contemplative piety, a man who long before Thoreau enjoyed month-long annual retreats in the woods. Schwanda situates his subject within a variety of broader contexts and makes a compelling case for 'Puritan mysticism' . . . a valuable addition to the literature on Reformed spirituality.”

The Supremacy of God in the Theology of Samuel Rutherford

Theology

“This study makes an impressive contribution to the debate about Reformed scholasticism, and represents the first serious modern engagement with Samuel Rutherford's Latin theology. The scholarship is rigorous, and the frame of reference is wide, bringing Rutherford into conversation with theologians and philosophers from the Fathers to Barth and Plantinga.”

To Follow the Lambe Wheresoever He Goeth

History & Biography

“In this well-researched monograph, Birch shows how the Baptists derived and diverged from the Reformed and Puritan traditions. With careful attention to theological arguments and concepts, he offers the fullest treatment of their ecclesiology to date. This is a welcome contribution to scholarship on radical Puritanism as well as Baptist history.”
