1:34:18 – This section preaches against contemplative prayer. I think this is an unnecessary cessationist bias. See Tom Schwanda’s Soul Recreation for a study on Isaac Ambrose, who was a Puritan who taught about contemplative prayer. It is endorsed by J. I. Packer.

Contemplative prayer is worthless if is it not centered in the Bible and the Reformation. –J.B.
