'Puritans,' says J I Packer, 'saw themselves as God’s pilgrims, travelling home, God’s warriors, battling against the world, the flesh, and the devil, and God’s servants, under orders to do all the good they could as they went along.' In this first compilation of St. Antholin’s Lectures 1991-2000 we are brought face to face with those heroes of the past and are encouraged to apply their godly wisdom in our own day.
The series is edited by Lee Gatiss, and opens with his new introduction, The Grand Nursery of Puritanism: St Antholin's as a Strategic Centre for Gospel Ministry
