From the publisher
Thomas Watson's published works, collected in a uniform set, indicate that he exercised an outstandingly helpful pulpit ministry. His material is simultaneously full of matter and of interest. Reading him some three centuries after the close of his ministry, it is easy to imagine the anticipation his congregation must have felt as they made their way to worship in St Stephen's Walbrook each week.

About the author. Little is known about the early life of this Puritan preacher and author, but his writing shows a profound understanding of the English language, and a firm grasp of Latin, Greek, and Hebrew. Moreover, his knowledge of Scripture is superb, and his sermons demonstrate his comprehension of physics, botany, history, logic, medicine and more. He endured a significant upheaval in 1651, being imprisoned for plotting to restore the monarchy after the execution of Charles I. He was ultimately released, however, and restored to his pastorate. Thomas Watson Puritan books of note include The Godly Man’s Picture (which describes characteristics of someone destined for heaven), The Doctrine of Repentance (a central tenet of Christianity seldom discussed in churches today), The Great Gain of Godliness (his exposition of Malachi 3:16-18), and A Body of Divinity, one of our bestselling books. These books appeal to people who appreciate Scriptural exposition.
