Description Product Details The Works of Richard Sibbes 7 volumes in one set! After William Perkins, ‘the heavenly Doctor Sibbes’ was the most significant of the great Puritan preachers of Cambridge. This reprint of the complete seven-volume set of the Works of Richard Sibbes shows why this is so. Strong thoughts, simple sentences, deep knowledge of the Bible and the human heart and a sure pastoral touch are here revealed in Sibbes’ sustained concentration on the glory and grace of God in Christ. More than anything else, Sibbes was a great preacher. He never lost sight of the fact that the best Christian counselling is done through the patient and lively exposition of the Word of God. Sibbes excelled as a comforter of the troubled and doubting, but he also possessed the rare gift of illuminating every passage of Scripture he handled by drawing out its significance for his hearers and readers. The republication of the Nichol edition of his complete works is a notable event for all who have an appetite for helpful and faithful biblical preaching.   Table of Contents: V1 Memoir of Sibbes by A B, Grosart     Description of Christ     The Bruised Reed and Smoking Flax     The Sword of the Wicked     The Soul’s Conflict with Itself and Victory over Itself by Faith     The Saint’s Safety in Evil Times     and other sermons, including a series on 1 Peter 4   V3 Bowels Opened (Sermons on the Song of Solomon 4-6)     The Spouse’s Earnest Desire after Christ     A Breathing after God     The Returning Backslider     The Glorious Feast of the Gospel   V3 An Exposition of 2 Corinthians 1   V4 A Christian’s Portion     The Spiritual Man’s Aim     A Glance of Heaven     The Excellency of the Gospel above the Law     and other sermons, all on texts from 1 & 2 Corinthians   V5 Expositions of texts and portions of the other Epistles of Paul, including Christ’s Exaltation Purchased by Humiliation     Salvation Applied     The Fountain Sealed     The Fountain Opened   V6 Josiah’s Reformation     The Saint’s Comforts     The Rich Poverty or The Poor Man’s Riches     and several other sermons, including The Bride’s Longing (on Rev 2220)   V7 Miscellaneous sermons and other writings of Sibbes     Bibliographical list of editions of his writings     Glossary     Indexes of persons named, topics discussed and texts expounded
