Thanks for sharing your thoughts on Puritain Portrits. We’re hopeful that Packer’s essays will open up the writings of the Puritans to a whole new generation of readers.

I like Ryken’s book a lot, thought it’s more thematic than biographical if I recall. I’ll have to look out the other one.

On a podcast interview of Dr. Beeke, I heard him mention Leland Ryken’s “Worldly Saints”. It sounds somewhat similar to Packer’s new book.

I have also seen some high praise for Mariano Di Gangi’s “Great Themes in Puritan Preaching”.

Are you familiar with either of those?
