The Practical Works of the Rev. Richard Baxter contains the treatises, sermons, and works of one of Puritan England’s most prolific writers and most influential preachers. Richard Baxter preached theological unity during a century of schism, and advocated mutual respect within the church during a period of intense religious warfare. He wrote with the conviction that theology should always be connected with both Christian ethics and human experience. This makes Baxter well-equipped to offer sage advice on practical Christian matters, such as worship, devotions, parenting, education, and relationships.
The writings, sermons, treatises, and other works contained in The Practical Works of the Rev. Richard Baxter have remained in print for centuries. Logos is pleased to offer the 23-volume academic standard originally published by Paternoster in 1830, which also includes a book-length biography of Baxter by William Orme. The Practical Works of the Rev. Richard Baxter includes Baxter’s 4-volume Christian Directory, his famous Reformed Pastor, and perhaps the most influential evangelical work of the seventeenth century, A Call to the Unconverted to Turn and Live. This collection also includes Baxter’s sermons, hymns, apologetic works, and numerous other theological treatises and biblical expositions.
