Synopsis
To Richard Sibbes the Gospel was truly good news, and he "sought to allure us to ... Christ's mild, safe, wise, victorious government." He does just this in "The Bruised Reed", his best known work. Frequently called "the heavenly Sibbes", Sibbes was admired both for his preaching and his godly life. Izaac Walton, author of the Compleat Angler, wrote of Sibbes: Of this blest man, let this just praise be given, Heaven was in him, before he was in heaven. This edition also includes A Description of Christ, an exposition of Matt 12:18.
