The Complete Works of Stephen Charnock #1

by Stephen Charnock

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.

Reviews

[Ronnie Nichols · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have put off this recommended reading for long enough and set a goal to read the 5 Volume set in 2020. The first volume contains Charnock's essay on Providence which was outstanding, and about the first half of his classic treatise on theology proper, The Existence and Attributes of God. It is stunning to think of the amount of meditation and thought driven by a proper understanding and use of Scripture that has gone into his writings. This should be in every Pastor's library and read and cited often. I am looking forward to reading the rest of his contributions. Charnock is a gift to the body!

This volume contains Stephen Charnock's book on Providence and about the first 40% of his classic treatise on theology proper, The Existence and Attributes of God. I have no complaints about the material, though the print-size is painfully small.

I did not read the work on providence but the disputations on the existence and attributes of God. Which is contained partly in volume one and finished in volume 2 of his works. Charnock on immutability and omnipresence is very very good!
