This volume appears in the series of Rutherford Studies in Historical Theo-logy, and is an adapted version of David Field’s doctoral studies.
It is not, therefore, a book for the average church member, but for the serious student who desires to give time to the study of the life and beliefs of John Howe, and the period of time in which he lived (1630 to 1705). There is some obvious application to issues that beset the modern church, but such applications are not the main reasons for writing a doctoral thesis.
