Meet The Puritans

Articles of Note in Mid-America Journal of Theology 20 (2009)

Posted on 06. Oct, 2009 by Danny Hyde.

The faculty of Mid-America Reformed Seminary has put together what looks like another fine volume in its Mid-America Journal of Theology 20 (2009). I just received my copy yesterday and have browsed the contents. Let me also note that you can read previous issues now online here. Subscriptions are only $12 annually; just go the aforementioned link.

Of note for the readers of this blog is my colleague here in San Diego Michael Brown’s article on the covenant theology of the Puritan, Samuel Petto, based on his recent M.A. thesis at Westminster Seminary California.

Here are contents:
