I couldn't read the Kindle version because of all the typos, so I bought the hard back. 'Twas a very good and a very difficult read. Several times, Charnock would repeat his arguments for different sub-points of his exposition of an attribute. It was torture at times to slog through, but then he had

I have the two volume set in one volume. I actually have only read the first volume and finished that up over a year ago. But I needed to move on to other more relevant material. Maybe I can get to the second volume at a later date.

Aside from The Bible, this book is the most moving of all that I have read. The pictures painted and the beautiful language to describe our Creator is nothing short of awesome!

This was my first time reading anything by Charnock so I wasn't prepared for the depth of the topics covered in this book. The initial chapter presents transcendental apologetical arguments that would be still valid today, indicating that atheists have no argument that hasn't already been dealt with

While taking classes at Golden Gate Seminary, Southern Californina, my Systematic Theology professor complained that Charnock's Existence and Attributes of God was just too much information. How in the world can there be too much written about God? With all the books written about Him, we have yet t

I read most of volume 1 (of 2), but just couldn't continue. I love Puritan works, I've read dozens, and even another by Charnock. Part of it, I know, is a historical difference between the way we approach subjects compared to the Puritans, but to me this was "death by details." I was overwhelmed by
