The Affectionate Theology of Richard Sibbes by Mark Dever and published by Reformation Trust Publishing.
Richard Sibbes was in many ways a man of his time, a time that saw the Church of England still recovering from the tumult of the Roman Catholic Queen Mary I and still adjusting to the peace under the Protestant monarchs Elizabeth I and James I.
As he navigated the fraught context of post-Reformation England, Richard Sibbes sought to apply the theology of the Reformation to his hearers' lives. He emphasized the security of God's covenant, the call for assurance of salvation, and the place of the heart in the Christian life. In The Affectionate Theology of Richard Sibbes, Dr. Mark Dever gives readers a penetrating look into the life and theology of this fascinating figure.
