Synopsis

The Works Of John Howe: As Published During His Life by John Howe. This late-works compilation gathers Howe’s exhortations on church unity and conscience, epistolary counsel to prominent readers, memorial pieces, prefatory material, and funeral sermons, forming a devotional and edifying corpus intended to sustain Protestant piety. The collection spans exhortations on conformists and dissenters, moral letters to aristocratic readers, intimate correspondences, prefatory dedications, fragments and study notes, and memorial sermons that memorialize Howe’s life and ministry. It also includes a long scriptural apparatus, doctrinal notes, and editorial material. Central concerns include the primacy of gospel ends in judging conduct, edifying worship across divided congregations, and a pastor’s method of pastoral reflection through Scripture. The volume frames ministry as a sanctified calling, emphasizes unity among Christians, and offers consolation and guidance for loss, grief, and the exercise of faith in public life. The content reflects an English Protestant milieu of late 17th to early 18th century, with a strong focus on unity, conscience, and pastoral edification.
