-Joel Beeke's and Mark Jones's work marks a major milestone in the study of Puritan and early modern Reformed theology, setting forth in modern scholarly essays an examination of a full body of seventeenth-century divinity. The work evidences a significant understanding of the primary texts and an excellent grasp of the secondary literature, both providing a sound introduction to Puritan theology and setting aside the myths of a rigid, rationalistic, monolithic system of thought divorced from Christian life. Perhaps the most consistent and unifying theme in the book is the profound connection between faith and practice that, for the Puritans and other early modern Reformed, grounded the exposition of all doctrine. Using A Puritan Theology Study Guide can only help make this connection more real and personal.- - Richard A. Muller, senior fellow, Junius Institute for Digital Reformation Research; P.J. Zondervan Professor of Historical Theology, emeritus, Calvin Theological Seminary
