Repentance: Explained and Enforced

Description

This book was composed in 1834 by J. Thornton, retyped and reformatted by Frank Crawford in 2020. The reason for republishing: a number of precious souls have been saved by reading this book. The Preface to the New Haven Edition says: ‘The frequent calls for the following work, and the testimony borne to its merits, by many faithful and experienced clergymen, who have made use of it, have induced the publisher to offer a new edition.’ The author designed the work to furnish a plain and concise treatise on one of the most important subjects connected with the doctrines of the gospel: to open the nature, to prove the necessity, and to point out the means and evidences of evangelical repentance. He felt the necessity of preparing a treatise on this all-important topic in a small compass and in a plain style — that it might thus obtain a general circulation among all classes of people.
