‘Written in 1874 and republished by The Banner of Truth in 1993, The Everlasting Righteousness stands (in my opinion) as the greatest book on the importance of the Cross and our imputed righteousness. It is clear, concise, devotional and beautifully written…. If you are looking for a readable book that exalts the Cross-centered life, relishes in the righteousness found only in the substitution of the Lamb, and magnifies the worth and beauty of Christ, turn to a talented hymn writer. Horatius Bonar has given us a clear book of great value on the central doctrine of the church. His poetic style will warm the heart after multiple readings and his clarity will equip the preacher with a lifetime of precious quotes.’ — TONY REINKE

Book Description

How Shall Man Be Just with God? asks the subtitle of The Everlasting Righteousness. Here, indeed, is the greatest question a man may ask, and in this brief devotional study Horatius Bonar gives us the answer, an answer not to be found in man himself, but in God and the provision he has made in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Here is a book which delights in ‘the righteousness found only in the substitution of the Lamb, and magnifies the worth and beauty of Christ… Horatius Bonar has given us a clear book of great value on the central doctrine of the church. His poetic style will warm the heart…and his clarity will equip the preacher with a lifetime of precious quotes.’

  1. Tim Patterson –

    This is the first book I have read by Horatius Bonar. I found him to be very readable for the era he lived in the era I read him in. I also found him to write with a pastor’s heart, helping me to see how secure my justification in Christ really is. A book like this would be helpful for me to read every day, if I had the time.

  2. Matthew Sullivan –

    I will cast my lot with those who have highly praised this book. It is a gem, and it far exceeded my hopes. Bonar prepares meal after meal of meditations on the beauty and sufficiency of Christ in His saving righteousness. Bonar is one of the most moving and skilled authors I have ever read (not surprising since he was a fervent Scottish preacher and hymn-writer). His abilities as a profound writer and preacher enabled him to the take the subject of Christ’s imputed righteousness and open up a world of comfort and joy to be found therein. This is the best way to unfold the doctrine of Christ, with warmth, joy, penetrating insight, and pastoral application. This is what the reader gets in this book. Additionally, he lays out a very solid defense of the historic, evangelical understanding of the doctrine of justification (very timely for today). I absolutely loved this book.

  3. Robert Norman –

    I might just have a new favourite book!

  4. Simon Robinson –

    This is the best book I have read, save the Bible.
