We need to learn fully from each group-successes and failures. Only then do we grow in understanding about the issues we face as humans and Christians.

Interesting thought about the Puritans being no different from us. That means that someday, someone will write some incredibly glowing book about us – and say, “Man. They were the true believers!” And then someone on a blog will say, “Not so fast. They were so mean, immoral bla, bla, bla.”

Great comment. Good summary. My pastor and some in our church have taken an interest in the Puritans, but it is a healthy interest. I haven’t seen #9 in our church.

The only thing that I see seems to be an emphasis on God’s sovereignty, but not to the exclusion or reduction of man’s responsibility, and the occasional reading in service from the Valley of Vision, which I think is a collection of Puritan prayers.

Let’s face it. Some emphases and re-canonizations can be healthy. And some can be very unhealthy.
