This book, considered a classic of Christian devotional literature,
was written by young Scottish Puritan HENRY SCOUGAL (1650-1678),
professor of divinity at Aberdeen University, in the form of a
letter to a friend who has lost his faith. In clear, supportive,
inspirational language, Scougal discusses: . religion and the
natural divine life . how the Savior exemplifies divine love . the
difficulties and duties of Christian life . and more. Seekers after
spiritual succor continue to find soulful sustenance and
encouragement in this work more than two centuries after it was
first published.
In The Life of God in the Soul of Man, Scougal cuts through false
ideas about religion and demonstrates how to pursue true unity with
God.
Henry Scougal died in 1657 at the age of 27 but by then he was
already Professor of Divinity at Aberdeen University. This timeless
classic was originally written to encourage a friend and stimulate
his spiritual life. It was so appreciated that it was later
published as a book for a wider readership. A hundred years later a
copy was sent to George Whitefield by his friend, Charles Wesley -
it was instrumental in Whitefield's conversion. This book provided
much of the stimulation behind the Methodist Revival of Britain and
the Great Awakening in America. In it Scougal explains the four
essential characteristics of divine life, their excellence, their
advantages and the practical steps that you can take in realising
them as your personal experience.
2010 Reprint of 1948 Edition. The Life of God in the Soul of Man
was written as a letter of spiritual counsel to a friend, and it
succeeded far beyond the author's expectations. It passed from hand
to hand until it was brought to Gilbert Burnet, the future bishop
of Salisbury, with the suggestion that it be made available to the
world. It is considered a classic book of Christian devotion. It is
timeless in its appeal. Its thought is clear and comprehensible;
its language possesses a quiet beauty and poignancy that does not
lose its charm with the passing of the years; and its style is not
distorted by the artificialities of temporal literary fashions.
