The Beatitudes An Exposition of Matthew 5

The Beatitudes, first published in 1660, has been one of the rarest of Watson's works. In this edition the layout has been entirely revised and editorial notes supplied.

Thomas Watson (c. 1620-1686), the Puritan preacher and author, was probably born in Yorkshire, although the exact place and date of his birth are unknown. Cross-references from the entire biblical corpus are sprinkled throughout his sermons, revealing a deep understanding of many texts obscure to most modern day Bible students. A solid understanding of history, botany, medicine, physics, the classics, logic, and various trades are revealed in his sermons.
