About this title

Synopsis

The Works Of Thomas Shepard: First Pastor Of The First Church, Cambridge, Mass. : With A Memoir Of His Life And Character by Thomas Shepard surveys a Puritan collected work that weaves doctrinal treatises, devotional meditations, and biographical moments into a coherent portrait of covenant Christian living. The excerpt comprises a trio of related discourses: A Time of Liberty, which defends true Christian liberty bound to Christ against licentiousness and tyrannical rule; Of ineffectual hearing the Word, a meditation on the distinction between outward and inward listening and the means by which ministers and believers may seek life-giving reception of Scripture; and Meditations and Spiritual Experiences, a diary-like record (1640–1641) of Shepard’s spiritual struggles, repentance, faith, and growth in holiness, prefaced by David Brainerd in 1747. Interwoven are discussions of church governance, sacraments, catechesis, and pastoral exhortation, plus accounts of Shepard’s 17th-century Cambridge milieu, mission work among Native Americans, and the ongoing case for infant church membership. The work aims to cultivate disciplined sanctification and faithful ministry within a covenant community.
