En pos de los puritanos y su piedad
En pos de los puritanos y su piedad explora la profundidad y la anchura de la vida espiritual puritana. A partir de toda una vida de estudio, Packer aborda las vidas y enseñanzas de los grandes líderes puritanos como John Owen, Richard Baxter y Jonahan Edwards. Él examina la concepción puritana de la Biblia, los dones espirituales, el Sabbat, la adoración, la acción social y la familia. La fe puritana (dice Packer) contrasta con la superficialidad del cristianismo moderno occidental. En un tiempo donde están fallando la visión y los valores, este retrato poderoso de los puritanos es un faro de esperanza que nos llama al compromiso radical y a la acción, que son tan necesarios hoy en día. En pos de los puritanos y su piedad (que está hermosamente escrito) es una exploración retadora de la vida y el pensamiento puritano. Esta es de las mejores obras de J. I. Packer.

About the author
J.I. Packer
446 books928 followersWhat do J. I. Packer, Billy Graham and Richard John Neuhaus have in common? Each was recently named by TIME magazine as among the 25 most influential evangelicals in America.
Dr. Packer, the Board of Governors’ Professor of Theology at Regent College, was hailed by TIME as “a doctrinal Solomon” among Protestants. “Mediating debates on everything from a particular Bible translation to the acceptability of free-flowing Pentecostal spirituality, Packer helps unify a community [evangelicalism] that could easily fall victim to its internal tensions.”
Knowing God, Dr. Packer’s seminal 1973 work, was lauded as a book which articulated shared beliefs for members of diverse denominations; the TIME profile quotes Michael Cromartie of the Ethics and Public Policy Center in Washington as saying, “conservative Methodists and Presbyterians and Baptists could all look to [Knowing God] and say, ‘This sums it all up for us.’”
In a similar tribute to Dr. Packer almost ten years ago, American theologian Mark Noll wrote in Christianity Today that, “Packer’s ability to address immensely important subjects in crisp, succinct sentences is one of the reasons why, both as an author and speaker, he has played such an important role among American evangelicals for four decades.”
For over 25 years Regent College students have been privileged to study under Dr. Packer’s clear and lucid teaching, and our faculty, staff and students celebrate the international recognition he rightly receives as a leading Christian thinker and teacher.
