Joe Holland blogs about why he “Can’t Stop Reading Thomas Boston,” a Scottish minister who wrote on covenant and reformed theology.

He ministers to my soul by consistently taking me to the only One who can satisfy my soul. This is why so much of the modern, cross-centered movement has latched onto Puritans like Boston. They and I have found in him a kindred spirit, a teacher, a pastor, a theologian, a man thoroughly captivated by Jesus Christ.

For my part, I heard a couple sermons from Kelly Kapic who has worked on books by John Owen, particularly Overcoming Sin and Temptation. The modern church needs to be revived with the teaching of these men for our better health.
