The Works of Thomas Goodwin Volume 1

by Goodwin Thomas 1600-1680

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Had to throw in the towel on this for now. Just too heady for an audiobook listen. Will likely pick up this mighty Ephesians volume at some point in the future.

[Evelynn Moorman]

Some good sermons. I was especially interested in his discussion of knowledge and communion with God.

[Andy]

The whole of Volume 1 is dedicated to his commentary on Ephesians 1. It's too bad that Goodwin didn't write a commentary on the entire book of Ephesians! His work is both scholarly and practical, a trademark of most of the Puritans. He never skimps on the doctrinal theology taught and implied in the text, and he expects his readers to keep up (This was originally sermons, so he expected his congregation to keep up!). However, the exposition is laced with loads of practical observations and pastoral applications. I won't say that this is an easy read, but it is far more readable than almost anything by John Owen. But the pay-off makes the work worthwhile.
