The Author

Watson, Thomas

Thomas Watson’s published works, collected here for the first time in a uniform and newly-typeset edition, indicate that he exercised an outstandingly helpful pulpit ministry. His material is simultaneously full of matter and of interest. Reading him some three centuries after the close of his ministry, we can sense his gift of communicating rich biblical and doctrinal truth without burdening his hearers with the sheer density of his material.

This edition follows the editorial policy of George Rogers, principal of Spurgeon’s Pastors’ College, who prepared the 1869 edition of Body of Divinity. Also, where it was thought necessary, translations of foreign words and phrases have been added, as well as footnotes that help to elucidate the text. May the ‘happy union of sound doctrine, heart-searching experience, and practical wisdom’ make these volumes useful to all who read them.

  1. David A Pitmen –

    A superb edition! The contents and the craftsmanship are excellent. I am very thankful for this collection.

  2. Richard C Ross –

    Delivered today. Am I pleased? Is the pope?… The magisterial contents of the Works of Thomas Watson need no recommendation from me. Indeed, or from anyone liable to express their opinions here. But I want to congratulate BoT on the outstanding production values of this set. The presentation is simply superb. The design of the dust wrapper, front and back, is exceptionally tasteful and attractive. (Maybe this is a format to be used on other sets, with less satisfying designs?) The typesetting is equally excellent: clear, neat and highly legible. The price, in an age of gross inflation, bewildering affordable! Many thanks!

  3. Richard C Ross –

    A little postscript to the above. I have on my shelves my father’s copy of ‘The Body of Divinity’, 1959; a gift from the then minister of Claremont Baptist Church, Shrewsbury; Mathew Francis MA, BLitt; inscribed: ‘Appreciatively MF’. I recall, at that at that time, having a very odd idea of what ‘a body of divinity’ might be! I also recall attempting to read the book, quite some undertaking for a child of 10, with no pretence to the merest glimmer of academic ability. Now, 67 years later, I seem to make better progress. How I thank God that I had parents who were from the start deep in their their appreciation of The Banner of Truth!

  4. Stephen Yost –

    I have read many Puritan writings in the past few years. I am, however, always drawn to Watson’s imagery and style, depth of theology, and organized structure. Although I have read some of the volumes separately, I have challenged myself to read all five volumes of this fantastic publication of Watson’s works by Banner of Truth in three years. I highly recommend Thomas Watson and these most recent publications of his works by Banner of Truth.
