Synopsis:

The Fullness of Christ is Octavius Winslow's devotional treatment of the history of Joseph and his brothers. "Our Jesus, the Elder Brother, centers in Himself infinitely more than all the tender love and sympathy found in His whole Church. It was necessary that by every possible human sensibility He should be qualified to be the gracious, sympathizing Head of a suffering body; and no truth is brought out in the history of Joseph more luminously, or exquisitely touching and beautiful, as portraying the Lord Jesus Christ than the deep sensibility of Joseph's nature." Octavius Winslow stood out as one of the foremost evangelical preachers of the 19th Century. A Baptist minister and contemporary of Charles Spurgeon he seceded to the Anglican church in his last decade. His Christ centered works show devotion and practicality.

About the Author: Octavius Winslow was born in New York, but his ministry was largely in England. He was one of the leading Baptist ministers of the 19th century, largely due to the devotional earnestness and the practical excellence of his writings. Winslow was prolific, authoring more than forty books. He was also a noted speaker, giving the address for the opening of Spurgeon's Metropolitan Tablernacle in 1861. Winslow clung to the theology of the old Puritans. His life was devoted to the promotion of an experimental knowledge of the precious truths of God.
