A Christian Directory: Christian Ethics

Richard Baxter (1615-1691)

The first part of Baxter's monumental work of Puritan casuistry addresses the duties of the individual soul: conversion, the ordering of heart and conscience, government of thoughts, passions, senses, tongue, and body. Published in 1673, it forms the personal foundation on which the rest of the Directory builds. Baxter wrote it to supply every Christian with a practical manual for obeying God in the full range of life.
