Top Highlights
“God’s grace never thrives in an unquiet spirit. The Jews say that Jehovah lives in Salem, which signifies ‘peace;’ but he cannot live in Babel, which signifies ‘confusion.” (Page 229)
“In asserting any truth a man may be earnest, and yet charitable.—He may think well of his opposites, and yet think ill of their opinions; he may oppose an error with a spirit of meekness, with soft words and hard arguments.” (Page 230)
“sanctification;’ for holiness is the life of God in man” (Page 41)
A most precious set, giving a magnificent cross-section of Puritan theology, at its practical, heart-warming best.
The best compilation of Puritan systematic theology ever written, but unfortunately is often overlooked in Puritan studies.
