About the Puritans

Puritanism is a term which belongs to the past. But can their view of life once again become a vital heritage and possession of those living in the present? There is a revival of interest in the Puritans today. Why? No doubt, because they were strongest where the Church today is weakest and their societies were strong where today’s are compromised.  They concentrated on right priorities: the purity of the Church, the preaching of the Word, and nurturing one’s spiritual life. They were indeed “physicians of souls.”   Puritan men and women focused themselves on “the great business of godliness”, so as to bring a God-exalting and gospel-saturated approach to all things.
