William Perkins war ein einflussreicher englischer Geistlicher und Cambridge-Theologe, der zu einer führenden Figur der Puritanerbewegung in der Church of England wurde. Er war ein starker Verfechter der reformierten Theologie und protestantischer Ideale, wobei er besonders 'Christus allein' und 'allein die Schrift' betonte. Seine zahlreichen Schriften, von denen viele posthum veröffentlicht wurden, prägten maßgeblich das religiöse Denken seiner Zeit.



This ninth volume brings together nine of Perkins's lesser known practical treatises and, by so doing, introduces the reader to important facets of his religion of the heart. The Works of William Perkins fills a major gap in Reformed and Puritan theology. Though Perkins is best known today for his writings on predestination, he also wrote prolifically on many subjects. His works filled over two thousand large pages of small print in three folio volumes and were reprinted several times in the decades after his death. His complete works, however, have not been in print since the mid-seventeenth century.
