Discourse of God's Being the Author of Reconciliation

Stephen Charnock (1628–1680) was an English Puritan divine. Converted at Cambridge, he became a fellow of New College, Oxford, preached in Ireland and London, and after his ejection in 1662 later co-pastored a congregation in the city. Charnock is best known for his Discourses on the Existence and Attributes of God, a monument of Puritan theology; our library carries his discourses on regeneration and on the cleansing virtue of Christ's blood.

About this book

One of Stephen Charnock's discourses on regeneration, published after his death in 1680. Charnock argues that reconciliation between God and sinners is God's own work from first to last: He planned it, provided it in Christ, and applies it by His Spirit. Like all Charnock's preaching, it joins exact doctrine to careful, searching application.
