Richard Baxter’s Call to the Unconverted

Our use of gospel tracts and pamphlets can possibly be traced to the Puritans, some of whom produced small, easy-to-carry books urging sinners to turn to Christ. In his book A Quest for Godliness J.I. Packer says that “it was the Puritans who invented evangelistic literature. One has only to think here of Richard Baxter’s Call to the Unconverted, and Joseph Alleine’s Alarm to the Unconverted, both of them outstanding pioneer works in this class of writing” (pp. 291-292).

Gary Brady at Heavenly Worldliness is doing a series of posts on Baxter’s Call. This is worth checking out to learn something about the man and the influential little book credited with usefulness in the conversion of thousands.
