by Stephen Charnock

Stephen Charnock - (1628-1680), Puritan divine
Son of a London solicitor, he was educated at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, and in 1649 became a minister in Southwark. In 1650 he became a fellow of New College, Oxford and in 1652 received his M.A. 1655 he was appointed chaplain to Henry Cromwell, governor of Ireland, and won a reputation for preaching in Dublin. He returned to London in retirement, but from 1675 he ministered in Bishopgate Street Prebyterian Church, London as joint pastor with Thomas Watson. His sermons were published mostly after his death; they reflect the characteristic Puritan divine's concern for central Gospel themes. His most important work was entitled Existence and Attributes of God.

Reviews

[Ronnie Nichols · Rating 5 out of 5]

It is my goal to read the Complete Works of Stephen Charnock in 2020. Volume three was fantastic. Volume 1 and 2 was his opus The Existence and Attributes of God. Volume three is a his introduction to detailed systematic theology in sermon form. You will not be disappointed with the depth, clarity, and profundity of this book.

Painfully small print, but great content.
