Puritan Papers: Vol. 3, 1963-1964

John Calvin, a beacon for the Puritans, receives considerable attention in this volume of Puritan Papers. J. I. Packer contributes a chapter on Calvin as "a servant of the Word." Others treat Calvin the man, his doctrine of God, the Institutes, and sixteenth-century Geneva. These papers were originally presented on the 400th anniversary of Calvin's death. Other biographical chapters feature George Whitefield and Charles Haddon Spurgeon. In addition, Packer writes on the Puritan approach to worship, Jain Murray on "things indifferent, " and D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones on Owen's view of schism.
