About the author
Stephen Charnock was an English Puritan Presbyterian minister who was born at the St. Katherine Cree church in London in 1628. He died on July 27, 1680. Charnock went to school at Emmanuel College in Cambridge, where he became a Christian. This was the start of his spiritual journey as a Puritan priest. In 1656, he went to Ireland, where he worked as a chaplain for the country's governor, Henry Cromwell. In Dublin, he began to preach to other Christians on a daily basis. People from different social classes and religious groups came to hear him, and he became well-known for how well he did his job. Charnock could no longer be a minister in public in Ireland or England, where he went next. This was because of new rules. Still, he kept studying and ministering in ways that were not public. In 1675, Charnock started working as a co-pastor at Crosby Hall in London. This was his last public ministry position before he died in 1680.
