At any rate after looking through the first volume and reading Jerusalem Sinner Saved I was astonished at how much he points folks to the intercession and mediation of Christ our High Priest. Obviously he has "Christ Work as an Advocate" but even in "Christ A complete Savior" he points us to that. "The Saint's Privilege and Profit" is about the Throne of Grace. He laments the lack of attention to it in his day and I believe it's especially true in this one as well. For example, did any of the preachers at TG4 point young pastors to this most important work of Christ? I ask as I haven't heard every message but I have a feeling it was a greatly neglected facet of Christ's ministry for our strengthening against sin and temptation. Should we wonder how he persevered in prison and pierced the hearts of men as John Owen once said to the king? Just some random thoughts... James Timmy,

I had bookmarked it but did not include it in this post since I was focusing on the Bunyan's Works. But yeah, another great website for all things Bunyan. I find it really encouraging to see so many Puritan Divines recovered and made available on the internet (and it makes my job a lot easier!). Of course, when John Owen comes up, I cannot imagine how much stuff will be out there! Jerry,
