Klappentext In the first full-length biography of one of the most prominent and influential English Puritans, John Flavel (c.1630-1691), Dr. Brian H. Cosby explores the salient elements of his life and thought in comparison with the turbulent political, religious, and historical background of the later Stuart period. John Flavel is an important Puritan divine whose work has been unjustly neglected in recent times, although once he was very influential. Brian Cosby has made a fine contribution to the theological world in this book, setting Flavel in his historical context, carefully expounding his theology and pastoral interests, and demonstrating why we should read his works for today. -- Robert Letham, Wales Evangelical School of Theology Brian Cosby's biography of John Flavel is a triumph of scholarship.
