Reviews

[Ronnie Nichols · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have put off this recommended reading for long enough and set a goal to read the 5 Volume set in 2020. The first volume contains Charnock's essay on Providence which was outstanding, and about the first half of his classic treatise on theology proper, The Existence and Attributes of God. It is stunning to think of the amount of meditation and thought driven by a proper understanding and use of Scripture that has gone into his writings. This should be in every Pastor's library and read and cited often. I am looking forward to reading the rest of his contributions. Charnock is a gift to the body!

[Daniel · Rating 5 out of 5]

This volume contains Stephen Charnock's book on Providence and about the first 40% of his classic treatise on theology proper, The Existence and Attributes of God. I have no complaints about the material, though the print-size is painfully small.

[Kenneth Clayton · Rating 5 out of 5]

I did not read the work on providence but the disputations on the existence and attributes of God. Which is contained partly in volume one and finished in volume 2 of his works. Charnock on immutability and omnipresence is very very good!
