About this title

Synopsis

Explore a 17th‑century perspective on Christian faith, scripture, and the path of salvation. This edition gathers sermons and prefatory material that illuminate the Church of England’s lessons for Sundays and holy days, tracing the fall, redemption, and moral life through a devotional lens.

The text presents a structured look at human sin, God’s mercy, and the work of Christ. It connects biblical narrative to practical faith—how belief, repentance, and obedience shape a believer’s life today.

• Analyses key ideas like original sin, judgment, and salvation through Jesus Christ.


• Discusses baptism, the Holy Spirit, and the hope of resurrection as central themes.


• Offers a historical view of how these concepts were taught in Anglican liturgy and doctrine.

Ideal for readers of religious history, devotional theology, and the study of early modern Anglican thought.
