(5) | Keine | The present volume contains three of Perkins's treatises. The first is A Digest or Harmony of the Books of the Old and New Testament, which offers a synopsis of the Bible that relates sacred history to the chronology of the world. Dating God's creation of the universe in 3967 BC, Perkins develops his overview of redemptive history that culminates in the final judgment. The second treatise is The Combat between Christ and the Devil Displayed . Expounding Matthew 4:1-11, Perkins shows how Christ's temptation in the wilderness (1) set Jesus up to serve as the second Adam, overcoming Satan's temptation in a way the first Adam did not; (2) reveals how the devil assaults the church so that we might be better prepared to resist his temptations; and (3) equipped Christ to be a sympathetic high priest to those who are tempted. The third and most significant treatise is A Godly and Learned Exposition upon Christ's Sermon in the Mount . "Hereof I have chosen to entreat, " says Perkins, "because it is a most divine and learned sermon, and may not unfitly be called the 'Key to the whole Bible'; for here Christ opens the sum of the Old and New Testaments." The fact that Perkins saw the Sermon on the Mount as unlocking the meaning of Scripture in its entirety suggests that his understanding of what Christ declares in Matthew 5-7 was pivotal to the development of his theology and piety. Series Description The Works of William Perkins fills a major gap in Reformed and Puritan theology. Though Perkins is best known today for his writings on predestination, he also wrote prolifically on many subjects. His works filled over two thousand large pages of small print in three folio volumes and were reprinted several times in the decades after his death. However, his complete works have not been in print since the mid-seventeenth century. This modern typeset edition of the Works includes four volumes of Perkins's expositions of Scripture, three volumes of his doctrinal and polemical treatises, and three volumes of his practical writings… (mehr) |

[General Preface] William Perkins (1558-1602), often called "the father of Puritanism," was a master preacher and a teacher of Reformed, experiential theology. [Biographical Preface] Elizabeth I, one of England's most famous monarchs, was born in 1533 as the fruity of the fateful union between Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn. [Preface to Volume 1] William Perkins (1558-1602) was a prolific author, composing almost fifty treatises on a wide range of biblical, theological, polemical, and practical subjects--all before his death at age forty-four. [Digest...An Admonition to the Reader] Christian reader, I set before you a tablet or little brief of the holy and heavenly history. [Digest...Introduction] A digest or sacred harmony is the order and tenor of the books of the Old and New Testaments, plainly described and laid forth. [Digest] The order of deeds is threefold: of nature; of dignity; and of wisdom. [Combat...] Upon that strange battle in heaven [Rev. 12:7], between Michael "the great prince" [Dan. 12:1], and Satan that old serpent, was heard a loud voice sounding forth joy and woe: "joy to the heavens and to them that dwell therein: because the accuser of the brethren is cast out thence" [Rev. 12:12], but "woe to the inhabitants of the earth and of the sea" (that is, to the sons of men in this vale of tears), "for the devil is come down unto them with great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time" [Rev. 12:12]. [Sermon...preface] The sacred Scriptures (Right Honorable) are so plainly styled by the Spirit of truth to be all and wholly righteous [Prov. 8:8], perfect [Ps. 19:7] and pure [Prov. 30:5], yea most pure [Ps. 119:140], that it must needs savor of the spirit of anti-christ to judge any part thereof (as the papists do) unmeet for Go's people to be acquainted withal. [Sermon...] "And when he saw the multitude, he went up into a mountain: And when he was set, his disciples came to him. And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying etc." (vv. 1-2) | |

[Digest...An Admonition to the Reader] If this my digest does set before you anything undigested, pardon it, for I send it forth into the light for this cause only, that I may try the judgment of those that both can and will gently and truly censure, and that I myself might be directed, warned, corrected. (Zum Anzeigen anklicken. Warnung: Enthält möglicherweise Spoiler.) [Sermon...preface] And because I doubt not of your diligence in the faithful and frequent perusal of it, I will turn my persuasions towards you this way, into prayer to the Almighty for you, that by the edifying of your faith, and other graces of God herein, you may more and more abound in the fruits of righteousness, enjoying here much true honor, with long and happy days, in the peace of our Zion, and the prosperity of your family, and in the end eternal life through Jesus Christ.
