The Rock of Israel and Other Sermons

Edmund Staunton (1600-1671), was a zealous Christian, active Reformed minister, and a constant member of the Westminster Assembly of Divines. The three works contained in this volume are rare. His first sermon is on the "Rock of Israel," from Deut. 32:31, “For their rock is not as our Rock...” He shows that the nations have rocks, but they are idols. And that the God of Israel is our solid Rock. His second is a funeral sermon for Mrs. Elizabeth Wilkinson, wife of Westminster Divine, Henry Wilkinson, taken from 1 Thess. 4:14. He exhorts believers concerning the resurrection, and what it means to sleep in the Lord. His third is on righteous judgment, combining zeal with godly judgment taken from Psalm 106:30, “Then stood up Phinehas and executed judgment...” Included in this volume is an extended biography on the life of Staunton which is worth the cost of the volume. This work is not a scan or facsimile and has been made easy to read with an active table of contents for electronic versions.
