Worldly Saints - The Puritans as they Really were

'Young, fierce, progressive intellectuals, very fashionable and up-to-date.'' Could C.S. Lewis have been describing the seventeenth-century Puritans? Surprise! The dour modern stereotype is entirely wrong, and Ryken marshalls abundant evidence to prove it. His even-handed portrait points out both the faults and the virtues of Puritanism in its English and American contexts. This readable book is excellent introduction to the Puritans and their writings.
