âThe King in His Beautyâ introduces readers to the life and writings of Samuel Rutherford (1600â1661). Matthew Voganâs biographical introduction traces the significant events of this Scottish theologianâs life and guides readers through his writings, focusing on his distinctive insight into Christian experience. In forty-three excerpts drawn from Rutherfordâs letters, major treatises, catechism, and sermons, readers will discover the depth of Rutherfordâs compassion, piety, and theological wisdom, all rooted in his unwavering love for Christ.Series Description Seeking, then, both to honor the past and yet not idolize it, we are issuing these books in the series Profiles in Reformed Spirituality. The design is to introduce the spirituality and piety of the Reformed Profiles in Reformed Spirituality tradition by presenting descriptions of the lives of notable Christians with select passages from their works. This combination of biographical sketches and collected portions from primary sources gives a taste of the subjectsâ contributions to our spiritual heritage and some direction as to how the reader can find further edification through their works. It is the hope of the publishers that this series will provide riches for those areas where we are poor and light of day where we are stumbling in the deepening twilight.
