[Ronnie Nichols · Rating 5 out of 5]

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.
