What it is
Theology defined as the doctrine of living to God, organised in tight numbered propositions covering faith and then observance.
Why it lasted
The textbook of New England theology at Harvard and Yale for a century, and the reason American Puritanism took the shape it did.
Where to read it
Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
