Review of The King in His Beauty
The King in His Beauty: the Piety of Samuel Rutherford. Ed. Matthew Vogan. 184pp. N.P. Pbk. ISBN 978-1-60178-125-3.
This selection from Rutherford’s writings conveys to the believing reader a sweet savour of the loveliness of Christ. Whether counselling suffering saints or exposing this world’s vain glory, he always leads us to Christ as the only resting place for our souls. We could do far worse at the close of each day than read, meditate
on, and pray over one of these extracts. One factual error needs a mention: the Westminster Assembly did
not meet in Westminster Abbey but in St. Margaret’s, next to it.
