About the Author
Samuel Rutherford (1600-1661) was probably the greatest theologian of the Scottish "Second Reformation". He is renowned the world over as the writer of the most remarkable series of devotional letters that the literature of the Reformed Churches can show.
From the Inside Flap
This is one of the posthumous works of Samuel Rutherford. It was published in 1713, more than 50 years after his death.
This book provides a great insight into Rutherford's views of faith and prayer. Here we see Rutherford discoursing on deep matters relating to the very life of the child of God, dealing tenderly with the concerns of God's people regarding these subjects.
Of course, Rutherford was not only renowned for expounding the Truth and discussing matters of spiritual experience, he was also an able writer on theological controversy. Accordingly it is no surprise that Rutherford touches on several controversies as they have a bearing on the matters in hand. These aspects of the book are as relevant to the Church now as when he penned them over three centuries ago.

Paperback. Condition: Good Plus. . 88 pages, spine area a bit faded, previous owner's name to flyleaf, top edges faintly foxed. Completely reset from the incomplete 1713 posthumous publication of sermons "The Power and Prevalency of Faith and Prayer evidenced in a practical discourse upon Matth. 9. 27-31" with updated spelling and sometimes updated sentence construction, and explanation of unfamiliar words in square brackets. A verse-by-verse study of Jesus' miracle of healing of two blind men, the text of the 1713 publication ends during the study of verse 31 soon after the beginning of the result and aftermath of the miracle, with the words "The rest of the Discourse cannot be found, it being above 50 Years since the Author died." Extracts have been included from the lengthy 1713 Epistle to the Reader, written presumably by the anonymous person who arranged the publication. Rutherford's "Testimony . to the Work of Reformation . with some of his last words" (1661), inserted in the 1713 edition after the "Epistle to the Reader", is not included in this edition.
