Beadle's book is essentially a how-to manual about how to write a spiritual diary; moreover, it is the only one of its kind written in seventeenth-century England. Modern scholars often mention its influence and importance in understanding the "journaling" impulse among the Puritans of the 16th and 17th centuries. This is the first modern systematic examination or critical edition of the work.

| | | Thank you, Andrew, for the reference. I have a question: is that a modern book on how to write a spiritual journey?

The book I referenced is a 1996 critical (ie., annotated, edited) edition of Beadle's work on how to write a spiritual diary originally published in 1656. | | The Following User Says Thank You to VirginiaHuguenot For This Useful Post: | | |
