Description

A Classic Work on the Nature of God by Stephen Charnock

Stephen Charnock was a highly regarded seventeenth-century English Puritan theologian whose writings have continued to influence the church for centuries. He is known for his sophisticated approach to topics such as the existence and attributes of God, the person and work of Christ, and the doctrine of sin.

This two-volume set, edited by Mark Jones, contains an updated and unabridged edition of Charnock's classic work, Discourses upon the Existence and Attributes of God, written to instruct and encourage Christian pastors, theologians, and laypeople. Jones precedes each discourse with an introductory summary that explains Charnock’s general approach. In this clear, modernized presentation of this classic work, readers will experience his skillful exegesis, his influential way with words, his insight into human nature, his concern with the practical implications of who God is, and his Christ-focused approach to theology.

Modernized Language: Archaic punctuation, words, and phrases have been updated for the modern reader
Updated Bibliographic Information: In the footnotes, Charnock’s sources have been located and updated with fuller bibliographic information, showing how widely read he was
Chapter Summaries: Each discourse begins with a summary of the chapter to follow
Extensive: Covers Charnock’s defense of God’s existence and 11 attributes of God
Includes In-Depth Chapter on the Life of Stephen Charnock by William Symington

Just received this set yesterday. Was happy to see that it was bound by Crossway. Excellent job, sewn stitching I believe, the binding opens flat, very legible typeset in a font size which even a 70 year old can read. Thanks for making this set available at a very affordable price.

Charnock's "The Existence and Attributes of God"

Posted by Paul Sauvé on 27th Mar 2023

Frankly, I have not had time to read much of this set, but I had purchased a set for my fellow elder/pastor and he highly recommended it so I purchased a set for myself. I look forward to spending more time with Mr. Charnock's writings on this important subject

Existence and attributes of God

A beautiful 2 volume set of heirloom quality. I bought this set for my son as I have a digital version at hand. I marvel at Charnock’s understanding of the deep things of God and his ability to bring them to light and share their glory to simple men as myself.

Obviously, it goes without saying the content is deep, profound and soul searching, while at the same time soul invigorating. The cover material is amazing. Right out of the box it makes you want to hold these books.
It enables them to be held in your hand without slipping which affords more focused reading and less struggle with keeping the book in hand. The fount size and layout are very readable, enabling longer sessions of study. These are books that will become like warm and close old friends not only in their content but in their layout and design. Thank you, Crossway and Mark, for doing this updated work.

This review is not for Charnock, which I could never do justice, but rather for Crossway and Mark Jones. I’m very impressed with their work to update these classics and improve their readability for modern readers. Also, the summaries at the beginning of each discourse are so helpful and relevant. May this work open the doors to new readers and God’s blessing to their hearts as the vivid picture of his glory and attributes shine brightly in this work.
