The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment; Puritan, Jeremiah Burroughs: Part 2

Please listen through parts in order, as this is an audiobook and the initial parts lay a necessary foundation for the latter parts. See part one for a brief bio on Burroughs.

If you notice that Burroughs seems to repeat himself often, don’t be troubled by that. His outline was seemingly divided into very minor points that almost seem to be repetitions. Jonathan Edwards’ writing is very similar in Religious Affections.

At first, I was very confused by Edwards’ style, apparently because I am used to authors only considering more major points, and assuming that readers would fill in the blanks. Burroughs and Edwards consider very weighty subjects and for the benefit of readers, who want to understand, address as many little points as they believe to be necessary.

I was able to understand Edwards’ style when I sat his book down and bought it on Audible and while listening through the book, I caught on to his style of writing. I was immediately able to better understand while I read. Although his subject matter, like Burroughs,’ is very difficult, so I often listened and followed along in the book.
