A Scripture Help : Designed to Assist in Reading the Bible, Profitably: Volume 13

A Scripture Help : Designed To Assist In Reading The Bible, Profitably by Edward Bickersteth presents a detailed theological exposition centered on THE PROMISED GLORY OF THE CHURCH OF CHRIST. The text unfolds a multi-part treatise that emphasizes the progress and triumph of divine truth, the growing union of Christians, the coming of Christ, the glories of the heavenly kingdom, and the ultimate glorification of Christ in his people. Prefaced in 1843, the work argues for steadfastness in old doctrinal truths while welcoming new unfolding of divine truth, advocates Christian unity against papal antichrist and infidelity, and delineates the millennial and eternal manifestations of God’s kingdom. Drawing on Scripture, creeds, and patristic and Reformational witness, it contends for a universal church composed of true believers, and lays out the future glory of the Church in the heavenly Jerusalem, while urging missionary zeal and practical piety. The book blends doctrinal exposition with exhortations to faith, works of love, and evangelical mission, reflecting its author’s zeal for a gospel-centered, united church.”
