“Had it been published by a voice from heaven, that twelve poor men, taken out of boats and creeks, without any help of learning, should conquer the world to the cross, it might have been thought an illusion against all reason of men; yet we know it was undertaken and accomplished by them.”
Quote by Stephen Charnock
Work
The Existence and Attributes of God
This comprehensive theological treatise delves into the profound complexities of the divine nature, structured as a series of detailed discourses. The text begins by establishing the foundational arguments for the existence of God, utilizing both natural reasoning, such as the observable order of the universe and the necessity of a first cause, alongside scriptural authority. It then transitions into a meticulous exploration of the specific attributes ascribed to the deity, including omnipotence, omniscience, omnipresence, immutability, holiness, justice, and mercy. By integrating philosophical inquiry with biblical exposition, the work seeks to provide a deep and rigorous understanding of the creator, highlighting how these divine characteristics define the relationship between the divine and human existence. more
