This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
It is my goal to read the Complete Works of Stephen Charnock in 2020. Volume four was just as good if not better than the first three. Volume 1 and 2 was his opus- The Existence and Attributes of God. Volume three is a his introduction to detailed systematic theology in discourse form. In volume four Charnock continues to share a detailed systematic theology covering many aspects of the life and work of Christ. I have grown to love his writings. They are pastoral and written in such a way that both the layman and pastor will be edified. He has the unique ability and gifting of a teacher to put very difficult theology into simple and enjoyable terms. You will not be disappointed with the depth, clarity, and profundity of this book.
