The activities of the trust are associated with a revival of interest in evangelical Calvinism in England in the 20th century [10] ; promotes the ideas of Puritan theology [11] and revives the ideas of Jonathan Edwards [3] [12] [13] .
Criticism of Activities
The Banner of Truth 's predisposition to reprint Puritan writers is periodically criticized. One of the reviews of the collection of reprinted sermons by Richard Sibbs criticizes the policy of the trust as a whole and raises the question of the need for such reprints [14] .
