Bücher von Samuel Rutherford

Samuel Rutherford (1600-1661) was one of the greatest preachers and theologians of Scotland. He is renowned as the writer of a most remarkable series of devotional letters-a religious classic full of rich spiritual nourishment.The Power of Faith and Prayer is a discourse on Matthew 9:27-31, which records the healing of two blind men who followed Christ and called upon him. Samuel Rutherford deals masterfully with two great matters which concern Christians-faith and prayer.This extremely scarce book was published posthumously in 1713, more than fifty years after Samuel Rutherford's death. Reformation Press first issued the book in 1993. This second edition contains extra notes to explain obscure and archaic terms, and these help to make Rutherford's precious book accessible to present-day readers.

This guide to daily walking with God has been transcribed from a manuscript and is now published for wider benefit. It contains valuable spiritual counsel on setting aside time for reading the Word and prayer, meditating frequently on the Word, having spiritual thoughts during the day, while resisting idle thoughts. This very searching brief volume is also highly personal and shows Rutherford's own convictions of conscience as to how he had misspent his time. He shows us the way to reflect more deeply on this and gives some very practical rules for ordering daily life to the glory of God alone. Rutherford's general guidance on how to seek the presence of God in all circumstances is both concise and weighty.

Reverend Samuel Rutherford wrote Lex, Rex to defend and advance the Presbytarian ideals in government and political life, and oppose the notion of a monarch's Divine Right to rule.Writing in the 1640s, Rutherford lived in a time of political tumult and upheaval. The notion of Divine Right - whether a monarch ruled with the authority of God - was under increasing question. The steadily waning power of the king, increasing rates of literacy and education, and enfranchisement of classes that followed the Renaissance bore fruit in demands for governmental reform. No greater were these trends felt than in England, whose Parliament had over centuries gained power. Shaken to its foundations by the aftermath of religious Reformation in the 1500s, the monarchy was under great scrutiny. The follies of absolute power, whereby one ruler had capacity to take decisions affecting the lives of millions, were now an active source of agitation and discontentment in both the halls of power and amid the wider populace.
