Richard Sibbes on the liberty of the gospel, expounding Paul's contrast between the veiled glory of the law and the open glory of Christ. Read more.
Glorious Freedom is Richard Sibbes's exposition of 2 Corinthians 3, where Paul contrasts the ministry of the letter with the ministry of the Spirit and the veiled face of Moses with the unveiled glory of Christ. Sibbes draws out what it means that where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty, and how beholding Christ's glory transforms the beholder from one degree of glory to another.
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. Sibbes was known among the Puritans as the heavenly doctor for the warmth of his preaching, and he is often recommended as the gentlest entry into that body of writing. The book suits believers labouring under a legal spirit and anyone wanting to understand Christian freedom without licence.
