"There are few matters about which the Puritans differ more from present-day Christians than in their assessment of the importance of the ten commandments. The commandments, they held, are thefirst thing in Christianity which the natural man needs to be taught and they should be the daily concern of the Christian to the last.Watson examines the moral law as a whole as well as bringing out the meaning and force of each particular commandment." Pp.245. Paperback. VG.

GENERAL THEOLOGY

About this title

Synopsis

Makes up, with A Body of Divinity and The Lords Prayer, Watson's Body of Practical Divinity.

About the Author

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.
