Discussion: Fear of God and Conscience
The Ancient Hebrews had their own understanding of the "Fear of God" and the role that conscience played in exercising it wisely. So did the Puritans. Some say the Puritans really understood this concept of the Fear of God, better than any other group either in or outside Scripture. Is this correct? Just how similar could the two groups be, despite being separated by hundreds, if not thousands, of years?
