1. Puritans on Conversion
Soli Deo Gloria
There is no doctrine in which it is more important to be completely orthodox than the doctrine of conversion. If repentance is missing, then you have antinomianism or "easy-believism." If faith is omitted, then you have a works salvation. If the understanding of either faith or repentance is faulty, then there is little chance of the conversion being genuine. These three Puritan treatises will help the reader to better understand the doctrine of conversion.

2. Religious Affections
Jonathan Edwards
Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) is best known as the theologian of revival. In this, his major study on the theme, he analyses the nature of a genuine work of the Holy Spirit. He was one of the few truly great theologians of the English speaking world, an intellectual and spiritual giant. Of his several treatises in this field, The Religious Affections ranks as ëmagnum opusí. The author's object in this book is to distinguish between true and false religion by showing the marks of a saving work of the Holy Spirit in men. In his Preface, Edwards stresses the importance of using "our utmost endeavours clearly to discern...wherein true religion does consist." For "till this be done, it may be expected that great revivings of religion will be but of short continuance."
