  4. Charity, in Respect of Other Men’s Sins – John Howe teaches from 1 Corinthians 13:6 that believers should never rejoice over the failings or misfortunes of others, and should be predisposed to grant them the benefit of the doubt.

Two New Primary Works Added

Printing PressIn our continuing effort to become the largest, most comprehensive site of Puritan works on the web, we are pleased to announce that Digital Puritan has acquired the facsimiles of two previously unavailable primary sources, which have been added to their author’s respective pages:

  1. The Blessedness of the Death of Those That Die in the Lord, by James Durham. An exposition of Revelation 14:13, in seven sermons. A free PDF.
  2. The Opening of Heaven’s Gates, by Arthur Dent. Also known as “The Ready Way to Everlasting Life”, this work is a catechism of sorts, which provides a rational explanation of the nature of true saving faith. A free PDF.

The Sum of Saving Knowledge

Sum of Saving KnowledgeWe have just acquired a facsimile of the 1671 edition of The Sum of Saving Knowledge, by James Durham. This brief 41-page tract explains the basic tenets of true saving faith.  Its quarto pages are cropped to fit your tablet’s screen well. If you’re looking for some good devotional reading this week, this would be an excellent choice. Free PDF available here. See our other James Durham offerings here.
