About

J. I. Packer's chapters on Jonathan Edwards's theology of revival, the Puritan idea of communion with God, and the Puritan conscience serve as highlights of the second volume of Puritan Papers. Equally important are D. JVIartyn Lloyd-Jones's chapters on true and false knowledge and "Puritan Perplexities: Lessons from 1640—1662."

• Revival
• Apostasy
• Communion with God
• Christian Joy
• Missions
• Preaching
• Divine Intercession
• Casuistry
• Conscience
• Christology
