In Pursuit of Purity, Unity, and Liberty - Richard Baxter's Puritan Ecclesiology in Its Seventeenth-Century Context

This contextualised study illuminates the oft-misunderstood aspects of Richard Baxter's ecclesiology: purity, unity, and liberty. In doing so, it sheds further light on the nature of seventeenth-century English Puritanism, and the quest for the true church and the corresponding conflicts between the Laudians and Puritans.
