After William Perkins, 'the heavenly Doctor Sibbes' was the most significant of the great Puritan preachers of Cambridge. This reprint of the complete seven-volume set of his Works shows why this was so. Strong thoughts, simple sentences, deep knowledge of the Bible and the human heart, and a sure pastoral touch are here revealed in Sibbes' sustained concentration on the glory and grace of God in Christ.

More than anything else, Sibbes was a great preacher. He never lost sight of the fact that the best Christian counseling is done through the patient and lively exposition of the Word of God. Sibbes excelled as a comforter of the troubled and doubting, but he also possessed the rare gift of illuminating every passage of Scripture he handled by drawing out its significance for his hearers and readers. The republication of the Nichol edition of his complete works is a notable event for all who have an appetite for helpful and faithful biblical preaching.
