Puritanism and Natural Theology

Theology

“Wallace Marshall's timely study provides a much-needed corrective to the prevailing view that the Puritans were opposed to the use of natural theology. If it did nothing more than correct the record on that point, it would be valuable. But Marshall goes beyond mere critique; he offers a sensitive, historically informed picture of the many uses of natural theology among the Puritans, not only theoretical and polemical, but also personal and pastoral. This work could spark a renaissance in the appreciation of the full scope of evidentialism in Puritan thought. I hope it does.”
