註釋The Complete Works of Stephen Charnock, Volume 3Stephen Charnock was an influential Puritan minister, whose writings and sermons combined theological acumen, a thorough understanding of Scripture, and a clear grasp of philosophy. He ministered in the context of theological controversy and political upheaval, and contributed to the establishment of Reformed orthodoxy in seventeenth century England and Ireland.The Complete Works of Stephen Charnock contains 64 theological discourses-2,804 pages of rich Puritan writing on biblical and theological topics. This collection also contains Charnock's seminal work, The Existence and Attributes of God, found in the first two volumes. This work has become a classic text on the doctrine of God, and examines in detail God's foreknowledge and sovereignty, and discusses the possibility of free will and natural law. No Reformed theologian prior to Charnock treated God's existence and attributes with such clarity and depth-in fact, his was one of the first works solely devoted to the subject to appear in the Reformed theological tradition, and has become a standard work on the subject. His positions have been echoed and refined by generations of theologians, and most recently have contributed to contemporary debates over free will, foreknowledge, and the openness of God.Stephen Charnock's Works will interest Reformed theologians, Puritan scholars, historians of the English Reformation, and anyone interested in the open theism debate.Includes Discourse of the Nature of Regeneneration; Discourse of the Word, the Instrument of Regeneration; Necessity of Regeneration; Discourse on the Cleansing Virtue of Christ's Blood; Discourse of the Efficient of Regeneration; and, Discourse of God's being the Author of Reconciliation.
