Puritans

Resources from some of the greatest theological and devotional thinkers

  • Project Puritas

    This site hosts a remarkable collection of Puritan writings, easily accessible in various formats. Outstanding!

  • A Puritan's Mind

    A Puritan’s Mind is an exceptionally useful resource for readers seeking explicitly confessional, experiential, and historically rooted Reformed theology. Its extensive collections on the Puritans, Westminster divines, Calvinism, and practical godliness make it especially valuable for pastors and serious students. Its distinctly Presbyterian conclusions on matters such as baptism, worship, and church polity require discernment from those holding different convictions, but its theological depth and commitment to recovering Puritan literature make it valuable.

  • Puritan Search

    This tool is a remarkable gift that leverages the power of technology to enable near instant access to a vast treasure of the Puritan writings.

  • The Puritan Inn

    The Puritan Inn is an outstanding resource for readers who want broad, direct access to the riches of historic Puritan and Reformed theology without the barriers of rare editions, antiquated typography, or expensive reprints. Its explicitly Reformed theological selection, enormous primary-source collection, and commitment to making difficult-to-obtain texts freely available make it especially valuable for pastors, students, and serious readers of the Puritans. Because many texts have been processed through automated spelling correction and the editors themselves acknowledge that the resulting editions are not perfect, important quotations should ideally be checked against authoritative editions or original scans; nevertheless, as a discovery, reading, and research library, The Puritan Inn is an unusually generous and highly recommended resource.

  • Digital Puritan Press

    Digital Puritan Press is an excellent resource for pastors and readers seeking doctrinally rich, experiential, and Christ-centered theology from the Puritan and Reformed tradition. Its Scripture index is especially valuable for sermon preparation, allowing users to locate historic treatments of particular texts quickly. The site’s emphasis on recovering older works and “spreading old truth far and wide” makes it highly recommended for serious biblical and theological study.

  • Puritan Publications

    Puritan Publications is an excellent resource for readers seeking biblical, confessional, and experiential Reformed theology, particularly works unavailable in standard modern editions. Its emphasis on the Westminster tradition, the doctrines of grace, practical godliness, and neglected Puritan authors makes it especially valuable for serious theological study. Because many texts are editorially modernized rather than facsimile editions, quotations intended for scholarly use should be checked against original sources; nevertheless, the ministry performs an invaluable service in returning forgotten Reformed treasures to the church.
