“William Perkins has finally and deservedly risen to the top following the recent publication of his collected writings after almost four hundred years. An analysis of his theological contributions was greatly needed, and this book fills that gap in a superb way. There is hardly an aspect of Reformed theology that Perkins did not significantly address, and it is impossible to assess the contribution of past Reformation theology without assessing the writings of the ‘father of Puritanism.’ A very fine publication."— Derek W.
