John Bunyan is best known as the author of The Pilgrim’s Progress, his immortal allegory of the Christian life, as well as for his influential spiritual autobiography, Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners. Less known is that Bunyan’s doctrine of the church drew the ire of seventeenth-century Baptists and thrust him into a controversy over the terms of church membership and communion that helped to define the boundaries of Baptist identity. In The Palace Beautiful, Timothy Haupt offers a historical and systematic analysis of Bunyan’s ecclesiology, a comprehensive examination of the communion controversy, and a thorough investigation of seventeenth-century Baptist identity. Was Bunyan a Baptist? Haupt argues that the communion controversy was not a debate among fellow Baptists over a secondary issue of church practice, but a dispute over fundamentally different ecclesiologies.
The Palace Beautiful
The three girls were called after flowers. This is how it came about: When Primrose opened her eyes on the world she brought back a little bit of spring to her mother's heart. Mrs. Mainwaring had gone through a terrible trouble--a trouble so dark and mysterious, so impossible to feel reconciled to, that her health had been almost shattered, and she had almost said good-bye to hope.
Palace Beautiful
A secret room plus a hidden journal written during the Flu Pandemic of 1918 make for an emotional, magical middle-grade read. When sisters Sadie and Zuzu move to Salt Lake City, they discover an old journal in a secret room in their new house. Along with their neighbor, Bella, the girls take turns reading the story of a girl named Helen who lived during the flu epidemic of 1918. They soon become wrapped up in Helen's tale, which ends with a tragedy that has a scary parallel to Sadie and Zuzu's lives. Did Helen survive the flu? Is she still alive somewhere? Or could her ghost be watching them? A NYPL 100 Titles for Reading and Sharing
