Meet the Puritans Resources
The purpose of Meet the Puritans is to introduce the theology and piety of the seventeenth century English Puritans in particular and of sixteenth-eighteenth century Reformed orthodoxy in general.
Our audience is threefold: first, Reformed Christians who need to reconnect with their heritage; second, evangelical Christians who need to be introduced to this heritage; and third, the world that needs the answer this heritage gives.
Our goals in doing this are instruction concerning the unsearchable riches of Christ
(Eph. 3:8) found in the writings of the 16th–18th centuries so that a new generation would be filled with love for Christ and his historic church so that it might serve him in the world more effectively.
With this in mind we present to you this print/digital resource.
For more resources, we encourage you to visit our website at www.meetthepuritans.com.

APPENDIX: A WORD ABOUT THE ABRIDGED TEXT
INTRODUCTION

In Communion with God, Owen presents the doctrine of the Trinity as the most intensely practical and personal doctrine in Scripture. This book has transformed my preaching, my prayers, my personal assurance of salvation, and its ideas have pervaded virtually every other aspect of practical holiness. For these reasons, I put together this study guide for the use in Grace Presbyterian Church (Conway, SC), which I formerly pastored. I hope that it may be used of God to promote the use of Owen’s work by many churches as well.
In order to help readers become oriented to this book, it might help to begin with a brief analysis of some of Owen’s most significant contributions to trinitarian piety. Owen argued that though each Person of the Godhead is equal with respect to the being or essence of God, yet believers have a peculiar fellowship or communion with each person distinctly. Each divine persons is worthy of worship, not because of their distinct personal
