The Conventicle: Baxter: Hot Pepper Corn

Who were the Puritans?

"A loosely organized reform movement originating during the English Reformation of the sixteenth century. The name came from efforts to 'purify' the Church of England by those who felt that the Reformation had not yet been completed. Eventually the Puritans went on to attempt purification of the self and of society as well."

(Mark Noll, "Puritanism", Evangelical Dictionary of Theology, 1984)

Baxter: Hot Pepper Corn

Tony Layzelle, a friend of mine from seminary days, has a helpful review of Hans Boersma's book A Hot Pepper Corn: Richard Baxter's Doctrine of Justification in its Seventeenth Century Context of Controversy over at reformation21.

Review of van Asselt's latest in WTJ on the way...

Thanks for the post. I've seen it but not read it. The hefty price of the book has deterred me from purchasing it, but I've put in an order for it at the NC Library!

I look forward to your review.
