Richard Baxter

The classic text of Christian reverence by Richard Baxter is presented to the reader unabridged with all sixteen chapters, and the conclusion. Written by Baxter as he lay suffering from a serious illness, The Saints' Everlasting Rest may be interpreted both as a final correspondence between the author and God, and as a message from Baxter who sought to give a pure example of devotion to all Christians. He endured much persecution in life, and was on multiple occasions incarcerated for his beliefs. As a leading figure in the Puritan movement of the 17th century, Richard Baxter spent his life teaching the Christian faith. A reformer who sought to install rigor and observance of faith in the Church of England, Baxter's sudden and unexpected descent to illness steeled him with the devotion to write this book. He had hitherto spent his life as a preacher with some proclivity to writing: his illness however instilled an urgency which accelerated his written output in service of God.

Richard Baxter's passionate plea to unbelievers, calling upon them to convert to Christianity, is as thought-provoking and religiously profound today as when first published centuries ago. An unabashed and compelling exhortation, A Call to the Unconverted marries the author's keen grasp of logic and reason with his utmost admiration and love for Jesus Christ. The combination of Baxter's astute mind and his veneration of the Son of God makes this treatise a true classic of Christian literature: from the moment the text first appeared in 1669, the reception among Christians and non-Christians alike was appreciative. For Baxter, Christianity is the one and true faith upon the Earth. Whilst acknowledging the essential values imparted in other religions - such as the virtues of human conduct; kindness, compassion, humility, honesty, courage - Baxter is eager to emphasize that Christ is the authentic embodiment of belief.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars. The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century.++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.
