The Soul's Preparation For Christ: Being A Treatise Of Contrition (1638)

By Thomas Hooker

Book Overview

The Soul's Preparation for Christ is a religious text written by Thomas Hooker in 1638. The book is a treatise on contrition, which is the act of feeling remorse or sorrow for one's sins. In the book, Hooker explores the importance of contrition in preparing one's soul for Christ. He argues that true contrition is necessary for salvation and that it involves a deep and sincere regret for one's sins, as well as a commitment to change one's ways. The book is divided into chapters that cover topics such as the nature of contrition, the role of the Holy Spirit in the process, and the benefits of contrition for the soul. Throughout the text, Hooker draws on biblical passages and quotes from other religious texts to support his arguments. The Soul's Preparation for Christ is an important work in the history of Christian theology and is still studied and referenced by scholars and religious practitioners today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
