The King in His Beauty

The Piety of Samuel Rutherford

About this book

The King in His Beauty introduces readers to the life and writings of Samuel Rutherford (1600–1661). Matthew Vogan's biographical introduction traces the significant events of this Scottish theologian's life and guides readers through his writings, focusing on his distinctive insight into Christian experience. In forty-three excerpts drawn from Rutherford's letters, major treatises, catechism, and sermons, readers will discover the depth of Rutherford's compassion, piety, and theological wisdom, all rooted in his unwavering love for Christ.

Series Description

Seeking, then, both to honor the past and yet not idolize it, we are issuing these books in the series Profiles in Reformed Spirituality . The design is to introduce the spirituality and piety of the Reformed Profiles in Reformed Spirituality tradition by presenting descriptions of the lives of notable Christians with select passages from their works. This combination of biographical sketches and collected portions from primary sources gives a taste of the subjects' contributions to our spiritual heritage and some direction as to how the reader can find further edification through their works. It is the hope of the publishers that this series will provide riches for those areas where we are poor and light of day where we are stumbling in the deepening twilight.
