1669 PURITAN Practice of Piety Lewis Bayly Protestant Bible Devotional Bunyan

 

Lewis Bayly’s ‘Practice of Piety’ is one of the best and most well-known works of Christian ‘self-help’ and spiritual formation. First written sometime in the early 17^th-century, Bayly’s masterwork has known to be an influence, not just on the common reader but on notable and important religious figures. John Bunyan and his wife, for example, are said to have had their spiritual awakening from reading Bayly’s ‘Practice’.

 

Through the 17^th– and 18^th-century, few Protestant and Puritan books were as widely read as Bayly’s English devotional. In fact, some reports mention that some readers regarded it as equal to the Bible in authority! ‘Practice’ is filled with scripture, prayers, practical guidelines for holy living, and a plain but concrete description of God.
