Puritan Wisdom for Today's Church: A Conversation with Dr. Don Kistler

The Puritans are, at the same time, highly regarded and highly disdained-depending on who you ask. There are many caricatures about who the Puritans were, what they taught, and what they can still teach us today. On top of this, much of their writing can seem difficult for the modern reader. So why should we bother with the Puritans?
On this episode I have a conversation with Dr. Don Kistler about the importance of the Puritans and how the church today can benefit from their spiritual guidance. Dr. Kistler is a Bible teacher, author, founder of Northampton Press, and he has been republishing Puritan works for decades.
One of his latest reprints is Christ, the Perfect Pattern for a Christian by Ralph Robinson - which hasn’t been reprinted since 1658! We’ll talk about this particular book and the life and ministry of Robinson, as well as why we should read the lesser-known Puritans.
Whether you already enjoy the works of the Puritans or have been reluctant to give them a chance, you’re definitely going to get a lot out of our conversation. Dr. Kistler will also share a number of recommended titles both for the beginner as well as some little known works that even those who love the Puritans may not have heard of.
I’ll have all of the notes prepped for you at ReasonableTheo... where you can find links to the books we mention as well as additional information and resources.

My husband and I read voices from the past volumes one and two along with our daily scripture reading. I love the way the Puritans wrote so deep!

Would you reccomend Pilgrim's Progress? Ive been contemplating reading it at some point and wanted some feedback on it.

[@reasonabletheology]

Yes, I would highly recommend reading Pilgrim's Progress. Here is a post I put together a while back that might be helpful for you: reasonabletheology.org/all-about-pilgrims-progress-plus-resources-for-reading-it/
