The Conventicle: New WTJ

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)

New WTJ

Just got the new Westminster Theological Journal vol. 68, no. 1 in the mail today. I noticed that Willem J. van Asselt has an article on Johannes Maccovius. I'm off this week to a pastor's conference in Glasgow, but I will post a review of Asselt's work in due course.

We will get back posting more regularly soon. So keep checking back!

Thanks for your comments. Appreciate your work.

With board preparations and presenting a paper last week, I've been a bit swamped. But never fear, hopefully, this summer will be a productive time for the Conventicle!; 5:35 PM

The notes on Muller have been very helpful. The Conventical rocks! (Did I just say that?).; 2:57 PM
