    If you were to consider the outstanding hymn writers of eighteenth-century England would the name Anne Steele come to mind?

  • The American Puritans
    The Puritan movement of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, as a transatlantic reform movement within the Protestant church, has much to teach the evangelical church today.

  • John Newton (part 1)

    Even as John Newton is perhaps best known for his hymns, he should also be known for his letters. Those most familiar with Newton seem to agree that “letter-writing was his greatest gift” earning him the reputation as “the great spiritual director of souls through the post.” It certainly wasn’t uncommon to write letters in eighteenth-century England, but John Newton was an uncommon letter writer. What makes his letters so significant in the history of the church? Join Drs. Haykin and Pohlman as they discuss the letters of John Newton.
