The Existence and Attributes of God comprises the first two volumes
of the works of Stephen Charnock (1628-1680), an English puritan
divine who was highly skilled in philosophy, patristics, Reformed
theology, and Biblical languages. These volumes are his abiding
monument. They are worthy of being compared with the finest in
theology. "When the existence and attributes of God are called into
question, to whom else can we better go than to Stephen Charnock''
. . . ''those things revealed belong to us and to our children
forever]. The material that Charnock discusses is firmly founded in
the Word of God'' . . . ''Both the Old Testament and the New
emphasize these two things: First, we should study the whole
revelation, not just some easy or favorite parts of it; secondly,
the study of God's attributes is not dry as dust theology, but is
practical; that is, it leads to righteousness" (Dr. Gordon H.
Clark, from a preface to this great work in a Sovereign Grace
edition, 1958). One of the greatest tragedies in these spiritually
starved times is the sad fact that most Christians know so very
little about their God. It is often said that this is simply
because these volumes are exhaustive on the subject. Yet it is
clearly filled with sublime expositions of the truth regarding
God's existence and attributes. "Charnock displays God's attributes
not as impersonal abstractions for the mind to juggle with, but as
qualities observable in the concrete actions of the living God of
which the Bible speaks. The technical terms and sometimes,
arguments of scholastic theology are employed, but always with a
Biblical orientation. Charnock has no desire to speculate, but only
to declare the works and ways, the nature and character, of the God
of the Bible. The substance of his doctrine is characteristically
Puritan and representatively Reformed." (Dr. James I. Packer, in
The Encyclopedia of Christianity, Volume II, p. 410) The possessor
of these rare volumes will be blessed by getting acquainted with
the incomparable God, and thereby will reach a higher plane of
spiritual enjoyment never attained before. To know Him better is to
love Him more.
