The book shows how Watts  modified a Puritan inherence on both topics in the light of the thought  of his day. In particular there is an examination of how he both took  on board and reacted against aspects of Enlightenment and sentimentalist  thought. Watts' position on these foundational issued of reason and  passion are then shown to lie behind his more practical works to revive  the church.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGraham Beynon examines the motivation for Watts' work  in writing hymns, and the way in which he wrote them; and discusses his  preaching and prayer. In each of these practical topics Watts's  position is compared to earlier Puritans to show the difference his  thinking on reason and passion makes in practice. Isaac Watts is shown  to have a coherent position on the foundational issues of reason and  passion which drove his view of revival of religion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9780567681218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"T\u0026T Clark","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":40686625390798,"sku":"9780567681218","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/getimage_7f3cb6a4-4d19-4b2b-9437-e21c9b7ccf96.jpg?v=1640235371","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9780567681218","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
