eBooks - Religion & Spirituality - General - Richard Baxter - THE SAINTS EVERLASTING REST
| Richard Baxter was born in the village of Rowton, Shropshire, on 12 November 1615. His schooling was poor and he did not proceed to university, but through omnivorous reading he became one of the most learned of seventeenth-century divines. It was also through reading that he realised his vocation. "Without any means but Books" God was "pleased to resolve me for himself" (Reliquiae Baxterianae (1696), I.3-4, §3). |
