The Reformed Pastor
Richard Baxter
Church Life & Pastoral CarePuritanIntermediate
Baxter's charge to ministers (1656) on Acts 20:28: first guard your own soul, then the flock — above all through personal, household-by-household catechising, as he practised in Kidderminster. "Reformed" means renewed, not a denomination.
