The Genius of Puritanism

What can account for the revival of interest in the Puritans today? Perhaps it is that they were strongest where the church today is weakest. As Lewis observes, the Puritans employed themselves in the 'great business of godliness,' so as to bring a God- exalting and gospel-saturated approach to all things. They were indeed 'physicians of the soul' who were strongly characterized by personal piety, sound doctrine, and the pursuit of a wellordered church life.
