Endorsement
‘As an expositor of Scripture I regard Manton with unmingled admiration. Here, at any rate, he is facile princeps (easily foremost) among the divines of the Puritan school…Manton’s Works…offer real literary gold to the reading public.’ — J.C. RYLE
Book Description
The outstanding preaching ministry of Thomas Manton was exercised first at Stoke Newington from 1644, then from 1656 in one of the leading Puritan churches in London, St. Paul’s, Covent Garden. The extent of his pulpit labours is shown by the fact that the twenty-two volumes of the standard 19th century edition of his works consist almost entirely of sermons. The present volume, By Faith, containing sixty-five sermons on Hebrews 11:1-31 illustrates the author’s ‘clear and succinct opening of gospel mysteries and close application to the conscience’ (from the letter To the Reader). Here the great theme of faith in action shines before the reader like many-faceted jewel.

Duncan MacPherson, North Harris Free Church (Free Church Books) –
Sixty-five sermons on Hebrews 11 make for a meaty read, but this is meat that is cooked until it is tender and well worth digesting. Manton, in typical Puritan style, comprehensively tackles every lesson that can be drawn from the text. He highlights not only the historical progression of the characters but also the progression of revelation e.g. “Abel was a type of Christ’s death, and Enoch ….a type of his ascension.” There is a lot to be learned in each sermon and a comprehensive presentation of the gospel in the collected set.
The language is, not surprisingly, a little dated but not overly so. Manton is easy to read but I noticed that he seemed to get steadily better as I progressed. This may simply have been me becoming more attuned to his style of expression. The 3 sermons on Moses refusing to be known as Pharaoh’s daughter were a highlight. He brings out superbly how Moses had the best of what the world could offer but it was as nothing compared to identifying himself with God’s people as God’s servant.
