Love One Another
Author: John RogersPublisher: Digital Puritan Press
ISBN: 1312355794
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 330
Book Description
God defines himself in Scripture as the very embodiment of love (1 John 4:16). As his children, he commands us to imitate him by loving one another deeply and authentically—a command that is second only to love for God and belief in his Son Jesus Christ. In Love One Another, John Rogers delivers the definitive playbook for Christians who want to love in this manner. Armed with Scripture and a keen intellect, he begins by discriminating between genuine and counterfeit marks of love, then diagnoses common spiritual ailments that manifest as a lack of love within us. Pastor Rogers then concludes by illustrating how Christians can show the love of Christ to their enemies, unbelievers outside the church, the poor, and finally to fellow believers. Originally published in 1629, this timeless text has been meticulously edited to benefit a new generation of Christian readers. Archaic language has been gently modernized, and helpful footnotes have been added to aid the reader. It includes a biographical preface, many helpful footnotes, and review questions designed to facilitate group discussion or personal reflection.

Book Description
"A Treatise of Love" by John Rogers is a profound piece of literary work penned by an esteemed Puritan clergyman and preacher. Once known for his vices and ungrateful acts, Rogers underwent a transformational journey marked by repentance and divine intervention that led him to emerge as a man of exemplary piety. An "illustrous ornament" to his college, Rogers' journey is often cited as an example of hope and transformation.In "A Treatise of Love", Rogers elucidates on the life of love, drawing from his own personal and spiritual experiences. This piece is written as a token of dedication to the congregations he served, intending to provide guidance and foster love even after his departure.Rogers fervently desires his teachings of love and unity to serve as the congregation's guiding light, allowing them to live in peace, and to grow in godly love and unity. His writings mirror his aspirations for a community that is bound by harmony, undeterred by evil, and dedicated to deeds of charity.He addresses his audience with a tone of fatherly advice, exhorting them to resolve their differences amicably, to be charitable, and to set a shining example for other towns to follow. His hope is that God's honor is upheld through their actions and that they set a precedent for the future generations.The treatise is more than just a guidebook; it is a plea to the younger generation to uphold and exceed the standards set by their predecessors, using their experiences and the wisdom derived from them as guiding principles. Rogers concludes his message by commending his audience to the grace of God, emphasizing the continuity and endurance of love and faith beyond his physical existence."A Treatise of Love" is a testament to Rogers' spiritual journey from vice to virtue and a compelling guide on faith, love, and unity, creating a lasting impact on its readers, inviting them to introspect, learn, and grow.
John Winthrop

Book Description
John Winthrop's effort to create a Puritan "City on a Hill" has had a lasting effect on American values, and many remember this phrase famously quoted by the late Ronald Reagan. However, most know very little about the first American to speak these words. In John Winthrop, Francis J. Bremer draws on over a decade of research in England, Ireland, and the United States to offer a superb biography of the first governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, one rooted in a detailed understanding of his first forty years in England. Indeed, Bremer provides an extensive, path-breaking treatment of Winthrop's family background, youthful development, and English career. His dissatisfaction with the decline of the "godly kingdom of the Stour Valley" in which he had been raised led him on his errand to rebuild such a society in a New England. In America, Winthrop would use the skills he had developed in England as he struggled with challenges from Roger Williams and Anne Hutchinson, among others, and defended the colony from English interference. We also see the personal side of Winthrop--the doubts and concerns of the spiritual pilgrim, his everyday labors and pleasures, his feelings for family and friends. And Bremer also sheds much light on important historical moments in England and America, such as the Reformation and the rise of Puritanism, the rise of the middling class, the colonization movement, and colonial relations with Native Americans. Incorporating previously unexplored archival materials from both sides of the Atlantic, here is the definitive portrait of one of the giants of our history. John Winthrop recevied an honorable Mention, The Colonial Dames of America Book Award.
