Samuel Annesley and the Cripplegate Morning Exercises e-bog

Out of the religious and cultural turbulence following the Reformation there emerged in sixteenth-century England a "e;reformed"e; Christianity which manifested itself in the Puritan tradition. Forged in the fires of political upheaval, persecution, and opposition, the Puritan worldview was championed by its faithful preachers who labored to save souls and guide Christians in the many-times perplexing paths of holy living. This book examines the development of Protestant casuistical ministry in seventeenth-century England with a particular focus on the work of Puritan pastor, Samuel Annesley, and his casuistical efforts through the "e;Cripplegate Morning Exercises."e;
