"The Refining Fire": The Puritans and their Spirituality with Dr. Michael Haykin

This series looks at the renewal movement known to history as Puritanism, which lasted from the 1560s to the 1690s in the British Isles and Ireland. We will also look at the way that the Puritans thought about such key elements of Christian spirituality as the fear of God and holiness, Christ-centeredness and the Scriptures, as well as, prayer and evangelism.
