Book Description

David Clarkson’s name is perhaps best known today because of his call (in 1682) to become colleague (and later, successor) to the great Puritan leader, John Owen. Yet this very fact bears eloquent testimony to the esteem in which Clarkson’s contemporaries held him, and the qualities which Owen and his congregation saw in his ministry. Nor was this appreciation limited to his own time. His Sermons and Discourses on Several Divine Subjects would later find a place in dissenting chapels, chained to reading desks, for use by future generations.

The three volumes of Clarkson’s Works published in 1864-65 well illustrate his preaching powers. His expositions are characterised by faithfulness to biblical teaching, by careful analysis and exposition, and by copious application.

As a preacher, Clarkson expressed himself forcefully and memorably. These powers, happily married to a clear and logical mind, gave birth to sermons which are full of striking expressions and fruitful insights. One particularly impressive feature of this work is that here we meet a man who knew how to preach on the great texts of Scripture and how to handle the central things of life.
