by John Brown of Haddington

in ePub, .mobi & .pdf formats

John Brown of Haddington’s Of God, the Author, Object, and End of All Religion is a profound theological treatise exploring the foundational truths about God’s nature, attributes, and His relation to creation. Rooted deeply in Scripture, Brown opens the work by examining the character of God as the source and goal of all true religion. His careful exposition unfolds the perfections of God—His wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodness, and truth—grounding each doctrine in rich biblical teaching.

A particularly compelling feature of Brown’s work is his exploration of the divine names and attributes, explaining how each reveals vital truths about God's self-existence, sovereignty, and covenant faithfulness. He masterfully addresses the Trinity, the decrees of God, and His providential works in creation and redemption. Brown does not merely present abstract doctrines but draws the reader to worship, emphasizing how the knowledge of God transforms the heart and life of a believer.

What makes this book especially impactful is its clarity and depth. Brown balances rigorous theological exposition with a pastoral sensitivity, making this an ideal resource for both personal study and group discipleship. His writings remind the reader that true religion is centered on knowing, worshiping, and glorifying the Triune God as revealed in Scripture.
