A Presbyterian blog promoting a Baptist reading the works of an Anglican? Could we get any more ecumenical?

If you aren’t already aware of this resource, Dr. Mark Dever, pastor of the Capital Hill Baptist Church in Washington, D.C., has for the past three years been adding to this rich resource, his reading of the sermons of the Rev. Richard Sibbes. As the Capital Hill web site states, “The great value of Puritan writing continues to be in its depth of scriptural insight and timeless application.”

These sermons as read run from 30 minutes to just over an hour in length. They are presented in mp3 format and can be downloaded to your mobile devices. If you have the Works of Richard Sibbes, you may find it profitable to follow along with Dr. Dever’s reading. Dever will occasionally add some helpful background comments. If you are unfamiliar with Puritan literature in general, Dever’s readings form a convenient introduction.
