Samuel Rutherford was a 17th Century Scottish Presbyterian preacher whose writings have had a profound impact on Christians throughout the generations. He was one of the Scottish Commissioners to the Westminster Assembly, and his best–known work, Lex, Rex, had far reaching influence. This collection of quotes, collated by editor Malcolm MacLean, give an idea of the power his words had. Although no more than a sentence or two, each of these quotes has a profundity which leaves the reader thinking long after they have closed the book. The quotations are split into topics: Jesus and the GospelJesus – His Person and WorkCommunion with JesusGodChristian LivingChristian ServiceThinking of HeavenEternity and Time For those who have never read Samuel Rutherford’s works before, this is a delectable introduction, encouraging you to seek out his full works. For those who need no introduction to his writings, these quotes are a quick reminder of the great truths he strived to preach and the great God he strived to proclaim.

Like so many saints before him, Samuel Rutherford did his best work while he was imprisoned for the gospel. While in exile from his hometown, he wrote hundreds of letters to his friends and members of his congregation. These letters were treasured up and printed several years after his death in 1661. From this, "the most remarkable series of devotional letters that the literature of the Reformed churches can show," Christians of all walks have drawn strength. The Loveliness of Christ is a collection of short excerpts from these letters "in which some of Rutherford s most helpful thoughts are allowed to stand out in their unadorned wisdom and power. Those familiar with Andrew Bonar's great nineteenth-century collection of the Letters of Samuel Rutherford will feel that this setting of brief quotations makes Rutherford's words sparkle like diamonds on a dark cloth in a jeweller's shop. We hope that you, in meditating on these pages, will find here help, comfort, wise counsel, and spiritual compass, and to say with Rutherford, 'Every day we may see some new thing in Christ. His love hath neither brim nor bottom'" (Sinclair Ferguson, foreword to previous edition).

This guide to daily walking with God has been transcribed from a manuscript and is now published for wider benefit. It contains valuable spiritual counsel on setting aside time for reading the Word and prayer, meditating frequently on the Word, having spiritual thoughts during the day, while resisting idle thoughts. This very searching brief volume is also highly personal and shows Rutherford's own convictions of conscience as to how he had misspent his time. He shows us the way to reflect more deeply on this and gives some very practical rules for ordering daily life to the glory of God alone. Rutherford's general guidance on how to seek the presence of God in all circumstances is both concise and weighty.

"A man commanding unjustly and ruling tyrannically has in that no power from God."When Lex, Rex was written, the Reformation in England and Scotland was in crisis. The English Civil War had just begun after Charles I tried to impose popish rituals on the church and asserted his divine right as king to overrule parliament. Against these grandiose claims the Scottish pastor Samuel Rutherford wrote a book and changed western political philosophy forever as it led to the thinking that enabled the American revolution. In his very learned work, Rutherford shows from Scripture, classical authors, and scholastic theologians that the king is not above the law; and that when the king violates it flagrantly, the people are right to resist him, even to the point of war. The title Lex Rex is Latin for "Law is King". Divine right theorists had said that the King was the law, but Rutherford reverses this and shows that natural law is above the king, and thus there are times when citizens can and must obey God rather than man."Rutherford was a practical and pastoral theologian who could soar to great heights of glorious consolation. . . But Rutherford was also a bare-knuckle brawler who was clearly able to hold his own in the theological bar fight that was the seventeenth century. You are now holding in your hands the evidence of that." Introduction by Douglas Wilson

Les Lettres de Samuel Rutherford, sont un classique de la litt rature chr tienne anglaise, depuis qu'elles ont t publi es de mani re posthume en 1634, puis r dit es une bonne centaine de fois. crites des particuliers, sans aucune intention d'en faire un livre, c'est leur caract re particuli rement po tique et inspirant qui a incit les diteurs les r unir en ouvrages de pi t et de consolation. Ainsi en 1891 Andrew Bonar en fit para tre 365, une pour chaque jour de l'ann e, dition qui devint la r f rence en Angleterre. En France, d s 1848 Gustave Masson, homme de lettres influent, en traduisit une cinquantaine, pr c d e d'une notice sur la vie et l' poque de leur auteur: c'est ce livre que les ditions Th oTeX republient ici. Th ologiquement, Samuel Rutherford tait un presbyt rien cossais non-conformiste, c'est- -dire n'acceptant pas l'ing rence du pouvoir civil dans les affaires de l' glise; ceci explique la grande estime dont jouissait son nom aupr s des puritains, et notamment de Charles Spurgeon, qui relisait souvent ses lettres.
