Book Overview

Irenicum: To The Lovers Of Truth And Peace: Heart-Divisions Opened In The Causes And Evils Of Them is a book written by Jeremiah Burroughs and published in 1653. The book is a treatise on the causes and effects of heart-divisions, or conflicts within oneself and between individuals or groups. Burroughs argues that such divisions arise from a lack of love and humility, and that they can only be resolved through a commitment to truth and peace. The book is aimed at those who seek to understand the nature of conflict and how to overcome it, and it offers practical advice and guidance for achieving reconciliation and harmony. Irenicum is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of conflict resolution and the role of religion in promoting peace.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Cutting to the quick!

I only have a BA in Theology and have only been a Believer for five years, but I have seen enough of the North American Church to tell me that Jeremiah Burroughs hits the mark when it comes to describing the deepest issues that cause divisions in God's Church. Although almost four hundred years old, it amazingly speaks to today's NA Church. I have already recommended it to most of the pastor's I know because I believe that it deals with the heart matters of pride which is the core to the divisions in the Church. I'm not saying that your church has the problems Burroughs is talking about, but it probably will at some time or has had in the past. Understanding the pride of the heart is essential in dealing with the divisions in the Church. I pray God will guide you through this book and challenge your own outlook on the people in your church.
