Charnock's classic work on the divine attributes, which he wrote the last three years of his life, has never been matched in its profound and practical approach to this rich subject. This work is a treasure of sound theology and humble adoration of God. The author's exposition on the goodness of God is alone worth the purchase of these volumes; it is unsurpassed in all English literature. Lightly edited for the modern reader and studded with insightful introductions to each discourse, this new edition by Mark Jones will be a great help to all who seek diligently to know the Lord.\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cstrong\u003eJoel R.

In this edition, explanatory essays, judicious comments, and expanded citations make Charnock more accessible and intelligible than ever before. As the nineteenth-century introduction notes, compared to many Puritans, Charnock 'is more theological than any of them, and his theology, too, is more sound than that of some.' As Jones's introduction intimates, the same can be true when Charnock is compared to writers in our day. So start a book group and read about the existence and attributes of God with Charnock and his editor as your godly guides.\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cstrong\u003eChad Van Dixhoorn, \u003c\/strong\u003e Professor of Church History and Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary, Charlotte\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eEditor's Introduction \u003c\/em\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003eLife and Character of Stephen Charnock\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eVolume 1: Discourses 1-8\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eDiscourse 1: On God's Existence \u003cbr\u003eDiscourse 2: On Practical Atheism\u003cbr\u003eDiscourse 3: On God's Being a Spirit \u003cbr\u003eDiscourse 4: On Spiritual Worship \u003cbr\u003eDiscourse 5: On the Eternity of God\u003cbr\u003eDiscourse 6: On the Immutability of God\u003cbr\u003eDiscourse 7: On God's Omnipresence\u003cbr\u003eDiscourse 8: On God's Knowledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVolume 2: Discourses 9-14\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDiscourse 9: On the Wisdom of God\u003cbr\u003eDiscourse 10: On the Power of God \u003cbr\u003eDiscourse 11: On the Holiness of God\u003cbr\u003eDiscourse 12: On the Goodness of God\u003cbr\u003eDiscourse 13: On God's Dominion\u003cbr\u003eDiscourse 14: On God's Patience \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eGeneral Index\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eScripture Index\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher Marketing\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eA Classic Work on the Nature of God by Stephen Charnock\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStephen Charnock was a highly regarded seventeenth-century English Puritan theologian whose writings have continued to influence the church for centuries.
