Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life and Thoughts of John Foster
Hitherto the religious character and power of Foster's writings have been disguised by their secular aspects and associations. Cler gymen confining themselves to professional reading, and all seeking works ostensibly religious, have been deterred from obtaining them. Yet there are few, if any writers, who have so faithfully observed all the claimed applications of Christianity, and perhaps none who have furnished so clear and powerful statements and illustrations of the principal doctrines and duties of Revelation. The most grand religious ideas are interspersed through his more secular writings, like mines of gold through an unsuspected territory. In the absence of religious garb and profession, they are like a store crowded with the most valuable wares, without the ostentation of an advertising sign.
