In this book, Gordon J. Keddie organizes McEwen’s essays to create a devotional tour of Christian doctrine. In ninety-eight brief entries, McEwen writes about systematic categories ranging from God’s perfections to death and eternity. This treasure trove of preached theology helps us see that knowing God will increase our delight in Him and all His ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEndorsements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“William McEwen (1735–1762), like Robert Murray M‘Cheyne in the next century, was taken from his earthly ministry at a young age, but despite his early death, he was known as a man of exemplary piety and distinguished ability. These chapters give us preached scriptural doctrinal theology that is devotional and applied. It was said of McEwen (who was guided in his studies by Ebenezer Erskine and James Fisher) that his propositions were few but very weighty and edifying, his ‘explanations were clear and accurate, his proofs plain and decisive, his illustrations beautiful and entertaining, and his applications close and searching.’ Doesn’t that make you want to read and reflect on these expositions? The content of this book has been characterized as ‘a just and lively representation of true Christianity, in a variety of its most important articles’ so given ‘to enlighten the understanding and persuade the heart.’ May the gracious God of truth Himself use our study of the instruction of His Word expounded in this book to lead us to love from a pure heart, a good conscience, and a sincere faith (1 Timothy 1:5).”\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e—Ligon Duncan, chancellor and John E.

These are heart-stirring essays that possess the rare combination of depth, clarity, and sobriety. Since all the chapters are short, each one could easily serve as a catalyst for daily personal devotions or as a supplement to family worship. It is bite-sized systematic theology from a Presbyterian minister of the past whose work is well worth reading today.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e—Jonathan Master, president of Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“Having introduced a new generation to McEwen’s classic typological work \u003cem\u003eThe Glory and Fullness of Christ\u003c\/em\u003e, Keddie, in this volume, acquaints modern readers with McEwen’s pastoral treatment of the key doctrines of the Christian faith.
