Description
Christopher Love was born in Cardiff, Wales in 1618, was a puritan, calvinist and Presbyterian preacher. Because of Love’s political leanings he was arrested by Oliver Cromwell’s forces for treason, a charge he denied. Yet, Love was beheaded on Tower Hill, London on August 22, 1651. Many of his works were published posthumously. This new book is a rare set of Love’s individual works, each valuable in their own right. They include his sermon called, “The Hearer’s Duty,” which explains how to be hearers and doers of the Word of God; another sermon called “England’s Distemper,” in order to heal the wounds of a nation; two short works on buying and selling goods (which are outstanding and something every professing Christian should read before their next purchase); and finally his treatise on Presbyterianism, “The Main Points of Church-Government and Discipline.” This is not a scan or facsimile, and contains an active table of contents for electronic versions.
