The Puritans on Loving One Another

Ralph Venning, Thomas Manton, Joseph Caryl, John Ball

Love is the chief evidence of reconciliation with both God and with our brothers and sisters in Christ. This collection of Puritan treatises explains the duty and delight of Christian love, how it is rooted in divine grace, and the way it serves as a healing bond of peace.

Works included in this volume:

  • The New Commandment Renewed by Ralph Venning
  • Love One Another by Thomas Manton
  • The Nature and Principles of Love by Joseph Caryl
  • The Holy Exercise of Love by John Ball
“Our times are ones of deep division, similar to the times that brought forth the Puritan texts in this book. Some of our battles are vital and necessary, but far too many are not. Hence, the inestimable value of these Puritan writings. May we heed these older saints of God as they call us to an imperishable love for the brethren.”
