New books: Thomas Manton's Works

"The renowned Thomas Manton (1620-1677), whose writings have long been prized by thousands, was known first and foremost as a great preacher. In a day when good preaching is sorely lacking, we need the reprint of his Complete Works, in which twenty of his twenty-two volumes are sermons. These sermons are the legacy of a powerful preacher devoted to the systematic teaching and application of God's Word. Whether he is expounding the Lord's Prayer, Psalm 119, Isaiah 53, James, or Jude, Manton presents us with the best that English Puritans had to offer in careful, solid, warmhearted exposition of the Scriptures." - Dr. Joel R. Beeke

"A MOUNTAIN OF SOUND THEOLOGY." - C.H. Spurgeon on The Works of Manton

This 22 volume hardcover set is smyth-sewn, shrink-wrapped on acid free paper and boxed as a complete set in a double wall container for special protection. Speaking with John Gowan and others they reckon that of all the puritans Manton is the one who sticks tightly to the text. In these 22 volumes Manton covers the great truths and themes of Scripture. The indices and Bible verse index at the back of the set runs for almost three hundred pages. This alone makes this set very valuable for a minister. If you do not have any puritan works this complete set I suggest would be worth having. They are selling from Evangelical Press, with delivery included, for about €260.euro…
