Book Description

Excerpt from A Discourse Concerning the Divine Providence The publisher of the present edition of Dr. Sherlock's celebrated work on the "Divine Providence," feels assured that he need offer no apology for bringing it out at this time. The great importance of the subject; the unquestioned ability with which it is discussed; the fact, that for many years the work has been out of print, and the frequent calls that have been made for it, during his several years' experience in the book business, together with the high estimation in which it is held by the following clergymen, who have cheerfully furnished recommendatory notices, he thinks fully warrant him in presenting it before the public in a new and greatly improved dress. Recommendatory Notices. Rev. J. L. Read: - I heartily approve of your intention to publish "Sherlock on Providence." I read the work years ago, and have regarded it ever since as one of the most valuable theological works in my library. You have my best wishes for success. Dr. Sherlock's Essay on "Divine Providence" has earned for itself a reputation amongst the pious and thinking both of this and the Old World. To those who have not had the opportunity or privilege of knowing its worth, it may be said, (to others it is needless, ) that it is a most judicious, scriptural, and practical discussion of this difficult, but most delightful doctrine.
