"The Existence and Attributes of God" is a significant theological book written in the 17th century by Stephen Charnock, a Puritan preacher and theologian. This edition of "The Existence and Attributes of God Vol. 2" is both current and legible, with an eye-catching new cover and professionally typeset manuscript. Some stories are gruesome and bizarre, while others softly creep up on you and pull you in. This massive dissertation is divided into two parts, with each volume delving into essential aspects of God's nature and qualities. In the second volume, Charnock conducts a thorough analysis of God's existence. To establish the existence of an all-powerful, everlasting, and transcendent Creator, he digs into philosophical arguments, historical viewpoints, and scripture allusions. The thorough examination of Charnock addresses problems about the origin of the universe and the requirement of a divine person. Throughout the book, Charnock's language is distinguished by a great reverence for God and a commitment to logical religion investigation. He provides theological arguments in a systematic and logical manner that is understandable to both intellectuals and laypeople.
About the author
Stephen Charnock was an influential English Puritan Presbyterian clergyman who was born in 1628 at the St. Katherine Cree church in London and died on July 27, 1680. Charnock's spiritual journey began at Emmanuel College in Cambridge, where he accepted Christianity, paving the way for his vocation as a Puritan preacher. Charnock's route brought him to Ireland in 1656, where he worked as a chaplain under Henry Cromwell, the country's administrator. In Dublin, he began preaching regularly, attracting a wide audience from various socioeconomic strata and theological beliefs. His remarkable preaching abilities garnered him considerable acclaim. Charnock, however, was unable to continue his public ministry in Ireland or England due to changing rules. Undaunted, he pursued his theological studies and ministerial activity in less prominent settings. In 1675, Charnock was appointed co-pastor of Crosby Hall in London, his final public ministry position before his death in 1680. His theological writings, particularly his significant work on God's qualities, have left an indelible effect on Christian theology and continue to inspire and teach theologians and Christians to this day.
