Matthew Henry

Gebundenes Buch

The Covenant of Grace

Beschreibung

Fifty years ago Allan Harman was given a small, well-worn book of handwritten sermon notes. They were Matthew Henry's own notes from a series of sermons preached to his Chester congregation during 1691 and 1692. In transcribing them he revealed a deeply spiritual work that allows us to read Matthew Henry on that most fundamental of doctrines - God's promise of unmerited favor to mankind. It is a very comprehensive work; all but four canonical books are mentioned. Harman translated the shorthand, added footnotes to help with obscure passages and translated the Greek, Hebrew and Latin quotes. He has also provided a biographical introduction to help us see Henry in the context in which these sermons were preached. Matthew Herny's delightfully clear style is evidence throughout the text and provides succinct, memorable quotations that will stay with you.
