Endorsements Thomas Watson’s deep spirituality, pithy remarks, terse style, impressive depth, and beauty of expression make him one of the most irresistible and readable of all Puritans. This exposition of Matthew 5:1-10 overflows with spiritual instruction. Every family should have a copy. - JOEL R. BEEKE What announces itself as an exposition of Matthew 5:1-10 turns out to be a digest of all the central Puritan teaching on the Christian life. The Beatitudes are treated as mineshafts into the whole economy of grace – as indeed they are . . . Thomas Watson’s A Body of Divinity has already established him as one of Banner of Truth’s most successful authors. This work, first published in 1660, and evidently a further set of written-up sermon notes, shows him once more to be the one of the richest and liveliest of Puritan teachers, with a tidy mind, a light touch, a gift for compression, and a vivid imagination. - J. I. PACKER (reviewing the Trust’s original 1971 edition)
