An Exhortation to Peace and Unity
"Attributed (incorrectly) to John Bunyan."
Transcribed from the “Works of the Puritan Divines (Bunyan)”, 1845 Thomas Nelson edition, by David Price
"An Exhortation to Peace and Unity" attributed (incorrectly) to John Bunyan is a theological treatise likely written during the 17th century, a time marked by religious turmoil and various denominational conflicts in England. This work focuses on the crucial theme of unity within the Christian community, emphasizing the necessity of maintaining both spiritual unity and peace among believers, despite differences in doctrine and practice. In this treatise, the author explores the concept of unity as essential to the functioning of the Church, drawing parallels between the human body and the body of Christ, where individual believers work together for a common purpose. The text outlines the importance of charity and love as fundamental components of unity, encouraging Christians to focus on shared beliefs rather than contentious issues. The author provides practical guidance on fostering peace, including the need for prayer, choosing wise leaders, and exercising humility in interactions with fellow believers. Ultimately, the work serves as a reminder of the dangers of division and the blessings that come from living in harmony. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
