Richard Sibbes was born in 1577. He entered St. John’s College at Cambridge in 1595, and was ordained in the Church of England in 1607. He received his BD in 1610. Sibbes lectured at Holy Trinity Church in Cambridge beginning in 1611, and in 1617 became a preacher at Gray’s Inn—London’s most famous pulpit at the time. He returned to Catherine Hall in 1626, and returned to Holy Trinity Church in Cambridge in 1623, although never gave up his preaching at Gray’s Inn. He is the author of theological treatises, sermons, and commentaries which shaped Puritan England’s most significant theologians. Influence of Sibbes’ thought can be found in the writings of John Cotton, Hugh Peters, Thomas Goodwin, and John Preston, among countless others.
Richard Sibbes died in 1635. Among his last words: “I commend and bequeath my soul into the hands of my gracious Savior, who hath redeemed it with his most precious blood, and appears now in heaven to receive it.”
