Synopsis

Once a highly influential preacher in the Elizabethan Church and the international Reformed world, William Perkins (1558"€"1602) has become a rather surprisingly neglected figure in the history of the church. In this book, Joel Beeke, Sinclair Ferguson, Greg Salazar, Geoff Thomas, and Stephen Yuille seek to recover the importance of Perkins by situating his life, priorities, ministry challenges, and influence within their original seventeenth-century context. They help readers "to peer behind the veil" to see the real Perkins as he contended for the faith and attempted to shepherd God's people in the midst of profound challenges. In this way, this volume will be both a reservoir of theological and practical truth and will foster a greater experiential knowledge of and love for the great God who William Perkins proclaimed and served.
