Bücher von John Cotton

John Cotton (1585-1662) was an English Reformed minister and colonist.This work a foundational reformed document on singing psalms, both from a biblical and exegetical perspective. It follows the same biblical and theological ideas that the Westminster Assembly determined that all Reformed churches in the world have a duty "to praise God publicly, by singing of psalms together in the congregation, and also privately in the family." He covers how to sing with a lively voice (clearing all objections that might be against this), who ought to sing psalms (individuals or the whole congregation), whether women may sing as well as men, whether carnal men may sing, as well as godly Christians, the manner of singing, and objections against the practice. This work ought not to be missed to study what God says in determining the manner in which sinners are to approach him in worship.This work is not a scan or facsimile and has been made easy to read with an active table of contents for electronic versions.

John Owen credited this book with convincing him that Congregational church government is the way taught in Holy Scripture. The renowned theologian John Cotton, who famously declined to participate in the Westminster Assembly, saying, "why should I travel 3000 miles to agree with four men?", penned his manuscript in Boston, Massachusetts, and shipped it to London, where Thomas Goodwin and Philip Nye had it published in 1644, in the midst of the venerable Westminster Assembly. They added a lengthy preface. It is included in this volume, along with a new introduction.

No detailed description available for "John Cotton on the Churches of New England".

John Cotton penned his primer and catechesism in the 1600s, but the Puritans brought it with them when they came to America, where it it flourished. Indeed, one of our earliest copies available is this facsimile version from 1777, which was sub-titled, "Improved for The More Easy Attaining the True Reading of English." Witness in this careful reproduction how seamlessly the teaching of literacy in the colonies was with teaching of Christianity. Many reproductions of this primer are small and hard to read, but this edition has slightly increased the size of the text so that it is more readable. As with any facsimile, all the flaws will by definition be retained. On the same measure, all the aspects that made the work great remain, too.
