David Clarkson's classic case that public worship is to be preferred before private, edited for modern readers in the Puritan Treasures for Today series. Read more.
David Clarkson, who followed John Owen in the pulpit, made the strongest case any Puritan made for the gathered assembly: whatever private devotion accomplishes, public worship accomplishes more.
Clarkson argues that the gathering of God's people is not optional or secondary but a chief means by which God shapes, nourishes and preserves His church, and he presses the point on the conscience of the reluctant churchgoer. Lightly updated for modern readers with an introduction, in the Puritan Treasures for Today series.
