How to Use: THE PRACTICAL WORKS OF THE REV. RICHARD BAXTER

Derek Browning

I just bought "THE PRACTICAL WORKS OF THE REV. RICHARD BAXTER"  in hopes that I could wade through the material over the next few years in preparation for a NANC certification.  I was curious, before I charged into it, if anyone had advice on how the material is laid out, and if there would be a good process to follow when going through it?

 

Thanks,

Wow! That's a lot to get through. 23 volumes. The contents and layout of each volume are pretty well summarized on the product page: http://www.logos.com/product/4218/the-practical-works-of-the-rev-richard-baxter

 

What I would recommend (at least how I do it), is to plan to get through the key works. If you haven't already read it, I would recommend starting with the Reformed Pastor, which is found in Volume 14. : logosres:baxter14;ref=Page.p_1

You can make a reading plan to read it in 1 month or however else you would like. If you are unfamiliar with how to do that I made a video right here showing you exactly how you would set up a reading plan for Baxter volume 14: http://screencast.com/t/2mqVxvw5zp3Z

 

Also, to take advantage of your Baxter library, you should create a Baxter Collection. This will let you limit your searches to what Baxter wrote if you are looking for a comment of his on a particular verse or topic.  Here is how you would set up a simple Baxter author collection:
