Summary "A Christian Directory, Part 2: Christian Economics" by Richard Baxter is a religious guidebook focused on practical theology and family duties, likely written in the late 17th century. This work delves into the foundational principles of Christian living, particularly regarding family relationships and responsibilities, providing detailed directions on marriage, the selection of servants, and general family worship. The core theme revolves around how Christians can conduct their lives and manage their households in accordance with biblical teachings. The opening of the text introduces the significance of holiness within family structures, stressing that Christian households must reflect their dedication to God. The chapter on marriage begins with cautions against entering into marriage hastily, emphasizing the necessity of divine guidance in the decision-making process. Baxter articulates a framework for understanding the call to marriage, including the roles of parental consent and personal qualifications, as well as establishing that the ultimate aim of such decisions should be geared towards serving God and fostering spiritual growth. These early portions establish a comprehensive guide that suggests careful consideration and reverence should guide all family relationships, especially in marriage.
