PURITAN: All of Life to the Glory of God

It was their firm commitment to the Word of God that distinguishes them from other groups throughout church history.

Written by Josh Buice | Friday, October 11, 2019

In the documentary, PURITAN: All of Life to the Glory of God, you will walk through the hallways of history to discover this group of people who sought to purify the Church of England and would eventually flee for religious freedom. You will learn names like John Bunyan, Thomas Goodwin, Richard Sibbes, John Owen, Richard Baxter, William Perkins, John Flavel, Jonathan Edwards, and D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones.

 

We are often introduced to the Puritans through the lens of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter. However, if your view of the Puritans is centered on a group of religious people who were hunting down witches—you don’t know the Puritans at all.

In the documentary, PURITAN: All of Life to the Glory of God, you will walk through the hallways of history to discover this group of people who sought to purify the Church of England and would eventually flee for religious freedom. You will learn names like John Bunyan, Thomas Goodwin, Richard Sibbes, John Owen, Richard Baxter, William Perkins, John Flavel, Jonathan Edwards, and D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones.

What you will come to appreciate about the Puritans is there unflinching and bold resolve in the face of persecution. They had an immense love for God’s Word, not just because they perceived it to be a special book—but because they understood that through the pages of sacred Scripture they would come to know God intimately. It was their firm commitment to the Word of God that distinguishes them from other groups throughout church history.
