Quote from the book
Their view of the pulpit and its effects moved these men to have a loving concern for their congregations, manifested by an overseeing of individuals long since forgotten in most modern-day ministers. The Puritans' view of the pulpit as the platform for the proclamation of the creative Word of God was the axis on which their lives turned. (p. 69)
