"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Little is known about the early life of this Puritan preacher and author, but his writing shows a profound understanding of the English language, and a firm grasp of Latin, Greek, and Hebrew. Moreover, his knowledge of Scripture is superb, and his sermons demonstrate his comprehension of physics, botany, history, logic, medicine and more. He endured a significant upheaval in 1651, being imprisoned for plotting to restore the monarchy after the execution of Charles I. He was ultimately released, however, and restored to his pastorate. Thomas Watson Puritan books of note include The Godly Man’s Picture (which describes characteristics of someone destined for heaven), The Doctrine of Repentance (a central tenet of Christianity seldom discussed in churches today), The Great Gain of Godliness (his exposition of Malachi 3:16-18), and A Body of Divinity, one of our bestselling books. These books appeal to people who appreciate Scriptural exposition.

Hardback. Condition: Good. Thomas Watson's Body of Practical Divinity is one of the most precious of the peerless works of the Puritans; and those best acquainted with it, prize it most. Watson was one of the most concise, racy, illustrative, and suggestive of those eminent divines who made the Puritan age the Augustan period of evangelical literature. There is a happy union of sound doctrine, heart-searching experience and practical wisdom throughout all his works; and his Body of Divinity is, beyond all the rest, useful to the student and the minister. He explains the Doctrines of God, Divine Sovereignty, Salvation, Sin, and the Trinity with remarkable clarity. His thinking is sound and Scriptural. Puritan theology sets the diadem of our salvation on Christ, and Christ alone, and it is solely on the basis of his meritorious work that we are saved. Seller Inventory # CIN0851511449G
