Originally published in 1934, this book contains select extracts from the writings of prominent Platonist and Puritan theologian Peter Sterry, as well as a brief review of Sterry's life, works and beliefs. De Sola Pinto chooses the passages from Sterry's writings that are most likely to appeal to the modern reader and which seem 'to have the enduring and universal qualities of great literature, and which … truly represent what he himself regarded as the very pith of his doctrine'. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in English Platonism or Puritanism.
