John Bunyan on the love of Christ, working from Paul's prayer that believers would grasp its breadth, length, depth and height. Read more.
All Loves Excelling is Bunyan's meditation on Paul's prayer in Ephesians 3 that believers might comprehend the dimensions of Christ's love and know a love that surpasses knowledge. Bunyan takes the breadth, length, depth and height in turn, showing what each reveals, and presses the point that this love is to be known experientially rather than merely acknowledged as doctrine.
Part of Banner of Truth's Puritan Paperbacks, a series that puts the shorter works of the Puritans into print at a price that makes them worth giving away. Bunyan writes as a pastor to ordinary believers, with the concreteness that made Pilgrim's Progress endure, and the book suits devotional reading, small group study, or giving to a Christian who believes in Christ's love without feeling its weight.
