The Existence and Attributes of God comprises the second volume of the work of Stephen Charnock (1628-1680), an English puritan divine who was highly skilled in philosophy, patristics, Reformed theology, and Biblical languages.
Stephen Charnock (1628-1680), Puritan divine, was an English Puritan Presbyterian clergyman born at the St Katherine Cree parish of London. One of the most important works by the author.
"In this two-volume work, Stephen Charnock mines in detail the biblical witness concerning God's existence and attributes, and he articulates a theology of God's being and nature.
Annexed to this work is, "A Short and Full Vindication of that Sweet and Comfortable Ordinance of Singing of Psalms," by Jonathan Clapham (1611-1676). This is a powerful biblical treatment of psalmody in a short tract.
This concluding volume of Stephen Charnock's Works focuses on truths that relate to the greatness of Christ, in his death and exaltation, as the object of faith; on man's enmity to God and on God's mercy to sinners.
