About this title

Synopsis

Consolation: In Discourses On Select Topics Addressed To The Suffering People Of God, by James Waddel Alexander, is a collection of evangelical discourses designed to comfort believers in distress. The author maintains that true consolation arises from the revelation of God’s character—His mercy, goodness, and everlasting providence—and from the hope set forth in the gospel, especially the work of Christ and the indwelling Spirit. The book moves through topics such as the mercy of God as a source of consolation, the providence and sovereignty of God, the omnipotence and perfections of God, and the experience of consolation tempered by chastisement and trial. It applies these themes to practical situations: suffering, sickness, bereavement, old age, death, martyrdom, and the trials of the Christian life, urging readers to trust in divine promises even in abandonment or danger. Interwoven with doctrinal expositions are exhortations to holiness, repentance, patient endurance, and prayer, aiming to strengthen faith, nurture hope, and promote peace in suffering. The Preface explains the aim to comfort afflicted believers while preserving doctrinal integrity.
