Timmy Brister has done a phenomenal job promoting the Puritans with his Puritan Reading Challenge for 2008. On top of providing a reading schedule, Timmy has blessed us with a series of interviews with pastors and scholars who have studied and benefited from the Puritans. In January, he interviewed Mark Dever about Richard Sibbes. Timmy’s most recent podcast interviews Stephen Yuille about John Flavel. Dr. Yuille is author of The Inner Sanctum of Puritan Piety: John Flavel’s Doctrine of Mystical Union with Christ. Check out this interview and see what they have to say about:
1. The only proper way to pronounce the name “Flavel”
2. The impact of the Puritans upon Dr. Yuille’s life
3. About The Inner Sanctum of Puritan Piety
4. Lloyd-Jones and “mystical union with Christ”
5. Christ’s offices as prophet, priest, and king (and their neglect today)
6. Regeneration, Faith, and Conversion
7. Puritans too introspective? Addressing the charges
8. Puritans and “standing” on texts
9. Encouragement for those in the Puritan Reading Challenge
