If there was one thing that marked Puritans in the history of Christianity it was their zeal for sound doctrine that was marvelously combined and adorned with a compelling love towards their fellow brethren, and, in extension, to the whole world. This book captures the Puritan spirit and teachings on meekness that flow from the very heart of our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ.
This book was published originally under the title “A Discourse on Meekness and Quietness of Spirit” (1836, ATS edition). The current edition has been proofread, typeset for eBook readers, and slightly updated for modern readers.
Matthew Henry (1662-1714) was a Welsh Nonconformist minister and author, being most famous for his classic commentary on the whole Bible. He died on June 22, 1714 at Natwich, England.
