Paramythion: Two Treatises of Comfort for an Afflicted Conscience

by Richard Greenham

This seminal work of Puritan practical divinity serves as a compassionate manual for the "physician of the soul." Focused on the comfort of the afflicted, these two treatises address the profound struggles of the distressed conscience and spiritual melancholy. By bridging the gap between theology and pastoral care, the text offers timeless insights into biblical consolation and the navigation of spiritual trials. A cornerstone of English casuistry, this volume is essential for readers interested in the history of pastoral counseling and the enduring quest for peace amidst internal conflict and despair.
