Works of Thomas Manton-Vol 2:

Thomas Manton is one of the most influential of the puritans. His scholarship, attention to detail, insight, knowledge of the Scriptures, and application of the Scriptures are unsurpassed.This collection is well worth having. It is almost entirely a collection of Manton's sermons, taken from a wide variety of texts.Volume one includes a memoir by Dr. William Harris, an exposition of the Lord's prayer, seven sermons on the Transfiguration, eight sermons on Colossians 1, and seven sermons on Christ's Temptation. The latter are my personal favorite from the entire collection.Volume two includes "An Estimate of Manton" by J.C. Ryle, 10 discourses "to promote peace and holiness among Christians," twenty sermons on assorted Scriptures, and four sermons on death.Volume three includes 18 sermons on II Thessalonians 2 and an exposition of Isaiah 53 (also an incredible work).All three volumes in this set are well-bound, as is common for Banner of Truth. They are sturdy and will not come apart, even with common use. Any one of these volumes is worth the price of this set. But you can get all three of them for that price!Anyone who knows the puritans in general and Manton in particular understands the depth in these sermons, the thoroughness with which the subjects and Scriptures are expounded, and the directness of their applications to the life of the Christian.Any pastor or Bible teacher who is going to teach on these subjects or passages should read what Manton has to say about them. Anyone who does will find them to be a useful tool in drawing out the full meaning of the doctrines of the Bible and applying those truths straight into the heart of the Christian.
