In an introduction to this reprint, Dr. J.I. Packer describes him as ‘the most outstanding pastor, evangelist and writer on practical and devotional themes that Puritanism produced’. His ministry transformed the people of Kidderminster from ‘an ignorant, rude and revelling people’ to a godly, worshipping community. These pages, first prepared for a Worcestershire association of ministers in 1656, deal with the means by which such changes are ever to be accomplished. In his fervent plea for the discharge of the spiritual obligations of the ministry, Baxter, in the words of his contemporary, Thomas Manton, ‘came nearer the apostolic writings than any man in the age’. A century later Philip Doddridge wrote, ‘\u003cem\u003eThe Reformed Pasto\u003c\/em\u003er is a most extraordinary book…many good men are but shadows of what (by the blessing of God) they might be, if the maxims and measures laid down in that incomparable Treatise were strenuously pursued’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, Baxter’s principles, drawn from Scripture, and reapplied in terms of modern circumstances, will provide both ministers and other Christians with challenge, direction and help.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEndorsement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"A staple classic…you absolutely must have it.

It is taken from the second volume of Bunyan’s works (George Offor edition) which was re-published by Banner of Truth in 1991. The text remains largely unaltered but slight adjustments have been made in order to accommodate the arrangement of the material into chapters. Even these divisions, however, correspond to Bunyan’s own layout of his material.

On the one hand, experiences of the Spirit are being claimed from which the glory of the redeemer and the wonder of his love are quite absent, while on the other, an almost total attention to the understanding and practising of scripture truth is having the effect of marginalising the experiential element in true, spiritual knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBunyan’s description of Christ’s love to believers and how they ought to know it, cuts in both the above-mentioned directions.

Those who know it are rich beyond measure and they are the people who ‘sweeten the churches and bring glory to God and to religion’.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublishers’ Foreword\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePart One: DESCRIBING THE INEXPRESSIBLE\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eEphesians 3:18, 19 in context\u003c\/li\u003e The verses – the terms of measurement contained in them – the reason for their use – the fulness implied in them. \u003cli\u003eThe Breadth of Christ’s Love\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Length of Christ’s Love\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Depth of Christ’s Love\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Height of Christ’s Love\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePart Two: DESIRING THE INCOMPARABLE\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003ePraying for an Ability\u003c\/li\u003e Needed because of the weakness of grace and human infirmity – also the mysterious nature of God’s dealings \u003cli\u003ePraying for an Understanding\u003c\/li\u003e A mark of a gospel minister – an indication of the blessings available for the saints \u003cli\u003ePraying for a Knowledge\u003c\/li\u003e Of Christ’s own love and its unsearchable greatness\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePart Three: OBTAINING THE UNSURPASSABLE\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eKnowing the Nature of Christ’s Love\u003c\/li\u003e It is free – divine – heavenly – everlasting \u003cli\u003eKnowing the Degrees of Christ’s Love\u003c\/li\u003e He became incarnate – stooped lower than the rank of angels – persevering with sinners \u003cli\u003eKnowing the Mystery of Christ’s Love\u003c\/li\u003e It is best known as something that is beyond being fully known\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePart Four: USES AND COUNSELS\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eSee the greatness of God’s good will to believers\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIts message to believers and ways to comply\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIts message to unbelievers\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAppendix: The Analysis of the Treatise\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eJohn Bunyan (1628-1688) was born the son of a metalworker near Bedford, England.

Even the modern, pluralistic style abbreviations, B.C.E. (‘Before the Common Era’) and C.E. (‘Common Era’), cannot obliterate the indelible impress of Jesus’ birth.

But he met death voluntarily, actively, by his own positive deed. This great truth has of late almost lapsed out of our theology, insomuch that not a few are quite conscious of the feeling of novelty and astonishment when it is vigorously put before their minds… All Gospel divine dealings with your soul for its salvation point first of all, and last of all, and throughout all, to Christ and him crucified.

They have been placed together in this opening volume of his Collected Writings as the best introduction to his thought on wide range of Christian truth. Murray’s belief was that, while the expression of truth ‘may be expanded indefinitely and furnish nourishment for the highest intellects to eternity’, it is also capable of presentation in popular and generally-understood terms. Accordingly, he speaks in these pages not so much to students as to the church at large in this critical century of her history. Such chapters as ‘Some Necessary Emphases in Preaching’, ‘The Power of the Holy Spirit’, and ‘The Church of Mission’, show how thoroughly he understood the great inadequacies of much contemporary Christianity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVolume 2\u003c\/strong\u003e of his Collected Writings provides virtually John Murray’s own selection from his articles and lectures in systematic theology.

This is most evident in the chapters on Adamic Administration and Definitive Sanctification, but the seed-thoughts of further insight are also clearly evident in many other places.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe arrangement is in seven sections which deal comprehensively with the themes of Man, Common Grace, Christ and Redemption (2 sections), Sanctification , Church and Sacraments, and the Last Things.

None of the 36 chapters has previously appeared in any of John Murray’s volumes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVolume 3\u003c\/strong\u003e of Murray’s Collected Writings brings to the reader both the story of his life and some of the choicest fruit of his ministry. Since the publication of volumes one and two of the Collected Writings of John Murray, this third volume in the series has been eagerly awaited. As promised, it contains an extensive account of Murray’s life and the first published collection of his sermons. Added to these are the penetrating and valuable book reviews which he contributed to The Westminster Theological Journal during the period 1939-1953. Iain H. Murray’s biography of John Murray traces his life from his boyhood days in the north of Scotland at the turn of the century, through the First World War (in which he suffered the loss of one eye), his theological training at Princeton and his long ministry as a Seminary Professor in Philadelphia, until his retirement, his return to his native Scotland, and his late marriage and brief period of fatherhood. The biography closes with a moving account of his last days during the early months of 1974.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVolume 4\u003c\/strong\u003e, Studies in Theology, is the concluding volume in the Collected Writings of John Murray. Like the preceding volumes it presents a selection of the finest work, produced mainly during his long and distinguished ministry as Professor of Systematic Theology at Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia. Volume 4 includes articles dealing with several areas of doctrine which lay close to Murray’s heart. Among them is the hitherto unpublished work, ‘Jesus, the Son of God’, which is possibly his last piece of theological writing. Its chief characteristic – as with all of Murray’s writings – lies in the way in which the text of Scripture suffuses everything he says. This concern to be thoroughly biblical applied also to his doctrine of Scripture, to Christology, and to his understanding of the proclamation of the gospel and the Christian ethic.
