Thomas Goodwin ↠ 0 READ & DOWNLOAD
First published in 1642, 'Christ Set Forth' one of Thomas Goodwin's most beloved and enduring works is a book full of theological riches and penetrating pastoral insights. Addressing, from an exposition of Romans 8:34, the pastoral problem that many believers stray in their faith by looking into their own hearts for signs of grace instead of looking away from themselves to Christ, 'Christ Set Forth' is primarily a book written to encourage Christians. Christ Set Forth: As the Cause of Justification and as the Object of Justifying Faith
As far as books go that I have read besides the bible, this one really helped me understand Christ more. Although, I felt it was a bit wordy-It was worth it to me to read it fully. Christ Set Forth: As the Cause of Justification and as the Object of Justifying Faith This book I really do not know how to review! I have been reading it on and off for a few months now and while it has greatly encouraged me at times, it has also challenged my reading comprehension skills to the utmost. Possibly I have tried to read this too quickly and have not given it the depth of attention that is required. Usually I do enjoy Puritan works and I figured this book by Thomas Goodwin would be no different. But I go too far. This is indeed a marvelous book about Christ, His work for us His saints, and why and how we should be encouraged and heartened as we rest in Him. The last chapter is marvelous and worth the read just on its own. There were parts of this book that I simply struggled with the flow and prose. But still? There was no error (that I could discern) or no faulty logic. This was simply a book about Christ. It would behoove us all to meditate more on the person of Christ and who He is and what He has done for us. This book did indeed encourage me towards that end, and for that? It was most beneficial and I'm very glad I read it. Possibly next time I will slow down a bit and really chew on the truths offered therein. Even this time, my soul was deeply encouraged and I worship God more and more as I consider who Christ is and what He has done for me! Christ Set Forth: As the Cause of Justification and as the Object of Justifying Faith Harder than many of the Puritans
There is some gold scattered throughout this book. He makes a break case for the sufficiency of Christ's ongoing intercession for believers. It is harder to read than many of his contemporaries. Christ Set Forth: As the Cause of Justification and as the Object of Justifying Faith Practical, devotional, and theological. One of the best books I've read in recent memory. I will be returning to this book regularly in the future. Christ Set Forth: As the Cause of Justification and as the Object of Justifying Faith
