REFORMED HISTORICAL THEOLOGY VOLUME 070 PART ...

This book explores Richard Baxter's (1615-1691) argument for clerical celibacy by placing it in
the context of his life and the turbulent events of seventeenth-century England. His viewpoint
was shaped by several factors  including the Puritan literature he read  the context of his
parish ministry  his burdensome model of soul care  and the formative life experiences shaping
his theology and perspective. These factors not only explain why Baxter became the only Puritan
to champion clerical celibacy but also why he continued to do so even after marrying. Puritan
pastor champions clerical celibacy  despite the fact that he did marry.
