| richard baxter the reformed pastor: Reformation Pastors J. William Black, 2004 This work examines Richard Baxter's understanding and practice of pastoral ministry from the perspective of his own stated concern for 'reformation' and in the broader context of Edwardian, Elizabethan and early Stuart pastoral ideals and practice. It investigates Baxter's major treatise on pastoral ministry and explores the background of each aspect of his pastoral strategy. Examines Richard Baxter’s practice of pastoral ministry in the broader historical context of Edwardian, Elizabethan and early Stuart pastoral ideals and practices. Far from being novel, Baxter's practice of pastoral ministry certainly reflects aspects of his puritan predecessor's practice, if not their rhetoric. The book concludes by considering the impact of Baxter's pastoral legacy, both on the lives of individual pastors and on the subsequent discussion of 'puritan' ministry |

| richard baxter the reformed pastor: The Reformed Pastor Richard Baxter, 2025-06-01 What does it really mean to be a Reformed pastor or elder? You may think of holding to a Reformed confession of faith or preaching the doctrines of grace, or such things. And yes, it means all these things. But for Richard Baxter, a Reformed pastor does not limit himself to being able to intellectually affirm these if you don't put them into practice in your own life, and in the life of your congregation. A Puritan classic on pastoral ministry that would change you and your church for the glory of God. This book was originally published in 1656. This edition has been proofread, typeset for eBook readers, and lightly updated for modern readers. |

| richard baxter the reformed pastor: The Saints' Everlasting Rest Richard Baxter, 1851 Richard Baxter wrote The Saints' Everlasting Rest to help prepare him for death during a life-threatening illness. It has inspired Christians for centuries to lift their eyes above this world to the place where they will spend eternity. Born in 1615, Richard Baxter lived and ministered throughout most of the seventeenth century. After being forced from his pulpit with some two thousand other Puritan ministers in the Great Ejection of 1660, he continued his writing ministry, authoring more than 140 books. Originally published in 1649, this work was forty-six chapters long, covering 844 pages. It was abridged in 1758, condensing it to sixteen chapters. Reading Baxter's book will challenge you to rediscover the wonders of the Lord through reflection and meditation. Taking captive our thoughts and making them obedient to Christ will make us strong in the faith and bring victory to our spiritual walks.-- |
| richard baxter the reformed pastor: Walking With God Richard Baxter, What does walking with God truly mean? What does it look like in the life of an ordinary Christian? Puritan writer Richard Baxter provides an answer for us that is just as powerful and enlightening in our modern era as it was in the 17th century when he penned his words. Baxter, who himself was persecuted and spent time in prison for his beliefs, was intimately familiar with the great challenge of walking with God in a tumultuous world and in the midst of a generation that railed against God. Inscribed at the base of Baxter’s statue in Kidderminster, England are these words: “In a stormy and divided age he advocated unity and comprehension, pointing the way to ‘the eternal.’” Come learn from this great man of faith who walked with God. |

| richard baxter the reformed pastor: The Reformed Pastor Richard Baxter, 2018-02-27 Richard Baxter's The Reformed Pastor is a timeless classic that has blessed and challenged pastors and ministers for hundreds of years. From the Preface: Of the excellence of this work, it is scarcely possible to speak in too high terms. It is not a directory relative to the various parts of the ministerial office, and in this respect it may, by some, be considered as defective; but, for powerful, pathetic, pungent, heartpiercing address, we know of no work on the pastoral office to be compared with it. Could we suppose it to be read by an angel, or by some other being possessed of an unfallen nature, the reasonings and expostulations of our author would be felt to be altogether irresistible; and hard must be the heart of that minister, who can read it without being moved, melted, and overwhelmed, under a sense of his own shortcomings; hard must be his heart, if he be not mused to greater faithfulness, diligence, and activity in winning souls to Christ. It is a work worthy of being printed in letters of gold: it deserves, at least, to be engraven on the heart of every minister. |

| richard baxter the reformed pastor: The Reformed Pastor Richard Baxter, 2022-10-01 Let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. – Galatians 6:9 The Reformed Pastor, the work of Richard Baxter, has been long known and cherished by ministers of various evangelical denominations as among the most inspiring, sacred, and fervent works ever written on the duties and responsibilities of the pastoral office. Many of them have had their own souls and ministries greatly affected as they read the book, much like they might imagine the burning coal from God’s own altar did regarding the lips of the prophet (Isaiah 6:5-6). Although this book is more directly addressed to pastors, the lessons contained in the book may be applied to all Christians to whom God has given the opportunity and means of influencing others for His kingdom. |

| richard baxter the reformed pastor: A Hot Pepper Corn Hans Boersma, 2003-11-01 This study takes the reader to the intriguing debates on justification in seventeenth-century English Puritan thought. Richard Baxter (1615-91), the well-known Kidderminster pastor and theologian, insisted that the Calvinists of his day, with their unyielding emphasis on the sola fide of the Reformation, ran the danger of ignoring the conditions that came with God's gift of the covenant of grace. Justification, Baxter insisted, required at least some degree of faith and works as the human response to the love of God. As one of his antagonists, John Crandon, put it: If we magnifie one grain of our own pepper to that height that we make it a part of that righteousness by which to stand at Gods tribunall this one grain will sink us down to hell, so hot a poison is Mr. Brs pepper-corn. The mix of theological differences and unbending personality traits resulted in years of acrimonious and unyielding debate. Building on previous studies of Baxter's soteriology, this study maintains that Baxter is best understood as an eclectic scholastic covenantal theologian for whom the distinction between God's conditional covenant and his absolute will is key to the entire theological enterprise. |

| richard baxter the reformed pastor: The Shepherd Leader Timothy Z. Witmer, 2010 The Shepherd Leader is a book that strives to bring the importance of shepherding to the forefront of our thinking about what church leaders should do and, therefore, what they should be. Too many church leaders perceive of themselves as a board of directors when the Bible is clear that they are to know, feed, lead, and protect the flock entrusted to their care. |

| richard baxter the reformed pastor: The Reformed Pastor Richard Baxter, James Macintosh Houston, 2001-01-01 Richard Baxter lived in an age when many of his fellow pastors had grown too comfortable with performing their religious duties by rote and spending much of their time in gluttony and drunkenness. It was under these conditions that Baxter wrote The reformed pastor, a reprimand to indolent clergy and an appeal to ministers of the gospel to take heed of their own spiritual condition before attempting to shepherd others. |

| richard baxter the reformed pastor: The Sin of Craving the Favor of Man Richard Baxter, 2017-09-03 The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is safe. Proverbs 29:25 The Practical Works of Richard Baxter has been republished many times in the past 300 years. It is a treasury of Baxter's unique wisdom and spiritual insight and has been influential in the thought and daily sanctification of many. In the section entitled Directions Against Inordinate Man-pleasing, Baxter offers a wealth of helpful instruction that is faithful to God's word in order to help guide believers away from the folly, danger, sin, and consequences of craving the favor of man. This guidance is no less applicable and suitable to modern believers, and it is here modernized in hopes of serving new generations that might otherwise never find it. The counsel and content provided here, being distilled from Scripture, will greatly benefit anyone in ministry, whether pastor, teacher, evangelist, missionary, counselor, or deacon - as well as as anyone who simply shares with other people the reason for the hope that is in them (1 Pet 3:15) Whether you're tempted by honor, favor, fame, or acclaim, distressed when your faithfulness may hurt the feelings of others, or trapped in the snare of the fear of man and the desire to please and serve everyone, this little book will help you find the way of escape and help you to rest, confident that you are being obedient and pleasing to God. |
| richard baxter the reformed pastor: Reformation Pastors William J. Black, 2007-01-01 This work examines Richard Baxter's understanding and practice of pastoral ministry from the perspective of his own stated concern for reformation and in the broader context of Edwardian, Elizabethan, and early Stuart pastoral ideals and practice. It investigates Baxter's major treatise on pastoral ministry, 'Gildas Salvianus, the Reformed Pastor' (1656), and explores the background of each aspect of his pastoral strategy. Far from being novel, Baxter's practice of pastoral ministry certainly reflects aspects of his puritan predecessors' practice, if not their rhetoric. Black argues, however, that the primary contours of Baxter's ministry look back, not to the puritan pastoral ideals and strategies dominant after the Elizabethan Settlement, but to the Edwardian reformation emphases of the exiled Strasbourg reformer Martin Bucer. The book concludes by considering the impact of Baxter's pastoral legacy, both on the lives of individual pastors and on the subsequent discussion of puritan ministry. |

| richard baxter the reformed pastor: Covenant Theology Nehemiah Coxe, John Owen, 2005-10-01 This book is a reprint of two seventeenth century theologians, Nehemiah Coxe (Adam-Abraham) and John Owen (Mosaic-New). Coxe says, That notion (which is often supposed in this discourse) that the old covenant and the new differ in substance and not only in the manner of their administration, certainly requires a larger and more particular handling ... I designed to give a further account of it. But I found my labor for the clearing and asserting of that point happily prevented by the coming out of Dr. Owen's third volume on Hebrews. Owen said, No man was ever saved but by virtue of the new covenant, and the mediation of Christ in that respect.--1689 Federalism. |

| richard baxter the reformed pastor: The Godly Home (Introduction by J. I. Packer) Richard Baxter, 2010-01-08 In twenty-first century America, at a time when the family structure is crumbling, divorce rates are at an all-time high, and respect for parents is diminishing, The Godly Home serves as a balm for those seeking God's plan for the family. With an introduction by J. I. Packer, this book includes topics for those passionate about families or those teaching on the characteristics of a godly family. Richard Baxter covers topics such as marriage, children, and family worship methodically and comprehensively through both hypothetical and real-life questions and concerns that arise in family dynamics. He uses arguments, objections, and frequent Scripture to help husbands, wives, and children to live godly lives. More than three centuries ago, Puritan church leader Baxter compiled a 1,143-page tome entitled Christian Directory, which included a section on family life. The Godly Home is the only stand-alone version of that section of Christian Directory. Editor Randall Pederson has updated the language and syntax to make this seventeenth-century collection of words one that will continue on for generations to come. |
