BEEKE<\/p>\n<p>What announces itself as an exposition of Matthew 5:1-10 turns out to be a digest of all the central Puritan teaching on the Christian life.

This work, first published in 1660, and evidently a further set of written-up sermon notes, shows him once more to be one of the richest and liveliest of Puritan teachers, with a tidy mind, a light touch, a gift for compression, and a vivid imagination.&#8217; &#8212; J. I. PACKER (reviewing the Trust\u2019s original 1971 edition)<\/p>\n<h2>Book Description<\/h2>\n<p>The opening verses of the best-known of all Christ&#8217;s sermons were handled by many of the Puritans, for the Beatitudes gave full scope to the combination of sound doctrine, practical wisdom and heart-searching application which characterized their preaching.<\/p>\n<p>To these general Puritan characteristics, Thomas Watson added certain of his own: a master of a terse, vigorous style and of a beauty of expression, he could speak not only to win men&#8217;s under-standing but also to secure a place for the truth in their memories. More than most of his generation he sought to follow the example of Christ&#8217;s teaching by employing all manner of illustrative material from common life, and with simplicity and charm he spoke words not easy to forget.<\/p>\n<p>Two hundred years after Thomas Watson&#8217;s death, William Jay of Bath said that he could go to any one of his books and &#8216;find it ever fresh, pointed and instructive.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><em>The Beatitudes<\/em>, first published in 1660, used to be one of the rarest of Watson&#8217;s works. This clothbound edition largely follows the revised format of the Trust\u2019s first edition of 1971, with some additional editorial notes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"toctoggle\">Table of Contents
