Thomas Watson’s Body of
Practical Divinity is one of the most precious of the peerless works of
the Puritans; and those best acquainted with it, prize it most. Watson was
one of the most concise, racy, illustrative, and suggestive of those
eminent divines who made the Puritan age the Augustan period of
evangelical literature. There is a happy union of sound doctrine,
heart-searching experience and practical wisdom throughout all his works;
and his Body of Divinity is, beyond all the rest, useful to the student
and the minister. He explains the Doctrines of God, Divine Sovereignty,
Salvation, Sin, and the Trinity with remarkable clarity. His thinking is
sound and Scriptural. Puritan theology sets the diadem of our salvation on
Christ, and Christ alone, and it is solely on the basis of his meritorious
work that we are saved. The body of the text is not at all archaic, as it
has a fluid feel and is easy to read. His writings are his best memorial;
perhaps he needed no other, and therefore providence forbade the
superfluity.
