1615 1691 Baxter Divine Puritan
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the reverent moment as the renowned English Puritan divine and writer, Richard Baxter (1615-1691), enters a church for worship. Baxter, dressed in the simple attire of the time, holds a small book in his hand, likely the Scriptures or a devotional text. His solemn expression and bowed head convey a deep sense of piety and devotion. Baxter was a leading figure in the English Puritan movement during the 17th century, known for his theological writings, pastoral care, and his role in the Westminster Assembly, which shaped the Anglican doctrine. He was a prolific writer, penning over 150 works, including his most famous, "The Saints' Everlasting Rest." Despite his significant contributions to theology and religious thought, Baxter's life was marked by personal and professional hardships. He experienced the loss of his first wife and several children, and was persecuted for his religious beliefs during the English Civil War. However, he remained steadfast in his faith and continued to serve his community as a pastor and spiritual guide. This photograph, taken from an original engraving, offers a glimpse into the pious life of this influential figure in English history. The image serves as a reminder of the importance of faith, perseverance, and the power of the written word in shaping religious thought and practice.
