  Heart Aflame For God

  $32.99

  How 21st-Century Evangelicals Can Pursue Spiritual Growth through Early Modern Puritan Piety

  “Keep your heart” (Proverbs 4:23). “Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling” (Philippians 2:12). “Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 3:18). Scripture beckons Christians toward obedience and maturity, but many modern approaches to spiritual formation are less than biblical. In A Heart Aflame for God, Matthew C. Bingham studies God-ordained spiritual practices modeled by the 16th- and 17th-century Reformers.

  Primarily drawing from Puritan tradition, Bingham shows readers how to balance belief in salvation through faith with a responsibility for one’s personal spiritual growth. He studies biblical practices–including meditation, prayer, and self-examination–from a Protestant perspective. Blending historical analysis and practical application, this edifying study cultivates a greater understanding of Reformed theology and an ever-growing relationship with God.

  *Puritan Tradition for Modern Evangelicals: Shows readers how classic Protestant traditions–including prayer, meditation, and appreciation for the natural world–steer wayward hearts toward Christ

  *Rich Reformed Perspective: Presents spiritual formation practices that are consistent with the 5 solas of the Protestant Reformation

  *Intermediate-Level Study: Written for theological students, pastors, and Christians interested in early modern Reformed theologians
