The work is rich in quotations from Puritan worthies and is ideally suited to general readers who have not delved widely into Puritan literature. It will also be a source of information and inspiration to those who seek a clearer understanding of the Puritan roots of American Christianity.\" -Harry Stout, Yale University \"...the typical Puritans were not wild men, fierce and freaky, religious fanatics and social extremists, but sober, conscientious, and cultured citizens, persons of principle, determined and disciplined excelling in the domestic virtues, and with no obvious shortcomings save a tendency to run to words when saying anything important, whether to God or to a man. At last the record has been put straight.\" -J.I. Packer, Regent College \"Worldly Saints provides a revealing treasury of primary and secondary evidence for understanding the Puritans, who they were, what they believed, and how they acted. This is a book of value and interest for scholars and students, clergy and laity alike.\" -Roland Mushat Frye, University of Pennsylvania \"A very persuasive...most interesting book...stuffed with quotations from Puritan sources, almost to the point of making it a mini-anthology.\" -Publishers Weekly \"With Worldly Saints, Christians of all persuasions have a tool that provides ready access to the vast treasures of Puritan thought.\" -Christianity Today \"Ryken writes with a vigor and enthusiasm that makes delightful reading-never a dull moment.\" -Fides et Historia \"Worldly Saints provides a valuable picture of Puritan life and values.

Foote Jr. and P. Alex Thornburg speak directly to Presbyterians who are disillusioned and confused by how Christianity is being misused in American culture. So often, our beliefs as faithful Christians do not line up with the shouted chants and disturbing actions taken by those claiming to represent a true vision of Christianity. Twenty-five years after their best-selling book Being Presbyterian in the Bible Belt, the authors return with fresh urgency to affirm the heart of Reformed theology and what it means to be truly evangelical in a time of theological and cultural distortion. With clarity, compassion, and a touch of humor, Being Presbyterian in a Dysvangelical America equips readers to name what feels wrong, rediscover what is right, and live into a gospel that is still good news for all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is impossible to ignore the many loud voices who claim to speak for God with the absolute certainty and divisive rhetoric that has become the playbook for Christian nationalism. To help readers counter this overwhelming narrative, Foote and Thornburg provide an accessible, faithful alternative rooted in the core Presbyterian convictions of grace, community, humility, and ongoing reform. This is the message to speak loudly in our time: not one of fear and exclusion, but a living, evolving faith that proclaims the wide welcome of God's grace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIdeal for individual or group study, the book includes an eight-session study guide that provides focus Scriptures, questions for discussion, and prayers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 0664269273\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9780664269272\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Foote, Ted\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Westminster John Knox Press\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Westminster John Knox Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Oct 2025)","offer_id":46081092026565,"sku":"9780664269272","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9780664269272.jpg?v=1776042956"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.inveni.store\/collections\/religion-christianity-presbyterian.oembed","provider":"Inveni","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
