From the Editors' Preface:

From Calvin, the Dutch Reformed, the English Puritans, and the Scottish Presbyterians, we have inherited a rich spiritual heritage, a golden seam, as it were, in the majestic mountain of Christian spirituality. In this volume we seek to expose you to something of the depth of this treasure. It is our prayer that this book not only will help you in your pursuit of holiness, but also will stimulate you to read and study more widely in this area.
