How To Do Good To Many: The Public Good Is The Christian’S Life

In this work the famed seventeenth-century pastor Richard Baxter provides worthy instruction in the proper valuation of earthly and heavenly goods, including practical lessons on how to pursue the common good in society. His careful discussions of these perennial issues still have something to teach us today. Baxter's practical wisdom and doctrinal acumen, including his great theological achievements, were always rooted in his pastoral ministry among the people of Kidderminster, England. His pastoral heart is reflected in this work, which was addressed to the people of London. Although he was a controversialist and a nonconformist, Baxter always engaged in dispute and polemic in pursuit of unity, love, and truth. This treatise, newly updated for modern readers by Jordan Ballor, captures many of the significant themes that characterize Baxter's brilliant theological career: charity, fidelity, bravery, and wisdom.
