The Works of William Perkins
Fidei vita vera vita - The true life is the life of faith
This web site is
dedicated to the promotion of the works of one of the greatest of the
English Puritans, William Perkins of Cambridge (1558- 1602).
Perkins was known as "The Calvin of England", and his works went through many editions and were translated into many European languages; yet they have never been reprinted in full in English since 1635. Here, as the Lord wills, we seek to amend this.

The
Works Project The
main purpose
behind this web site is the republishing of the Complete Works of
Perkins, which have not been available since 1635. In order to do this,
the text needs to be typed in manually from the original books,
proof-read and then put into a format suitable for sending to a printer.
As individual books from the Works become available, it is hoped that they will be freely displayed in this section as they are typed in, so the reader may come to know and love the works of this greatest of all English puritans. |
