This volume is a translation from Latin into English of some of the most important shorter philosophical and theological treatises of the English Puritan, William Ames (1575-1633), better known in Europe by his Latin name, Guilielmus Amesius and justifiably called “the spiritual father of the New England churches.”
Reviews
“Gibb’s work reinforces the observation that Ames was influential in the Puritan procedure of technometry, in New England covenantal theology, in congregationalism, and in the development of early American intellectual life.”
