Staff Review: Puritan pastor Richard Baxter of Kidderminster writes on the necessity of spiritual renewal or revival (thus the use of the word “reformed” in the title) in the life and ministry of the pastor. A Christian literature classic. - Jeff Waddington - Westminster Bookstore Staff

Publisher’s Description: Richard Baxter (1615-1691) was vicar of Kidderminster from 1647-1661. In an introduction to this reprint, Dr. J. I. Packer describes his as ‘the most outstanding pastor, evangelist and writer on practical and devotional themes that Puritanism produced’. His ministry transformed the people of kidderminster from ‘an ignorant, rude and reveling people’ to a godly, worshipping community. These pages, first prepared for a Worcestershire association of ministers in 1656, deal with the means by which such changes are ever to be accomplished. In his fervent plea for the discharge of the spiritual obligations of the minister, Baxter, in the words of his contemporary, Thomas Manton, ‘came nearer the apostolic writings than any man in the age’. A century later Philip Doddridge wrote, ‘The Reformed Pastor is a most extraordinary book . . . many good men are but shadows of what (by the blessing of God) they might be, if the maxims and measures laid down in that incomparable treatise where strenuously pursued.’ Today, Baxter’s principles, drawn from Scripture, and re-applied in terms of modern circumstances, will provide both ministers and other Christians with challenge, direction and help.
