Digital Puritan Press is pleased to announce the release of The Christian in Complete Armor, by William Gurnall. This digital-only offering is the product of more than two years of editorial work. It is properly formatted (including extensive hyperlinking, and Greek and Hebrew words which display correctly), minimally modernized, and packed with hundreds of embedded Scripture references (no internet connection required) and many helpful footnotes. This volume includes J.C. Ryle’s biographical preface, and is appended with Gurnall’s two known sermons: “The Magistrate’s Portraiture Drawn With a Scripture Pencil” and “The Christian’s Labor and Reward.”
For those unfamiliar with the work, The Christian in Complete Armor is the definitive exposition of Ephesians 6:10-18 (the armor of God). It is meticulously organized and thoroughly executed. For me personally, this work was one of my five ‘bucket-list’ books (a book I wanted to be sure I had read on this side of eternity), so when the opportunity to produce a high quality digital edition arose, I leapt at the chance.
This is not a small work. At just over one million words (3,200 pages), it is not something you are going to read in a month. But I believe the one who is willing to commit regular time to it will be rewarded handsomely.
ISBN 978-1291717341.
