Existence & Attributes of God (Vol. 2) #7 Eternality, Immutability, Omnipresence, Wisdom, Power, Holiness, Goodness, Dominion

Puritan treatise on the perfections of God,and perhaps the greatest of all times. Here, Stephen Charnock reflects on Scripture to develop a better understanding of the nature and being of God. In true Puritan fashion, Charnock makes practical application
of all the doctrinal content he develops. Thus, Charnock's work is rightly regarded as simultaneously
a scholarly and evotional classic.'

Stephen Charnock was an English minister during the seventeenth century. In the late 1650s he spent some time in Ireland as chaplain to the Governor, where his preaching attracted considerable attention.

After King Charles II came to power in 1660, Charnock returned to England but was not permitted to hold a public ministry. He could only minister privately. This changed in 1675 when government restrictions were relaxed, and Charnock became co-pastor with Thomas Watson of a Presbyterian church
in London. Charnock died in 1680.
