THE COMBAT BETWEEN THE FLESH AND THE SPIRIT
CHRISTOPHER LOVE (1618-1651) edited by Don Kistler
The Combat between the Flesh and Spirit: as also the woeful withdrawing of the Spirit of God, with the causes thereof, and walking in, and after the Spirit, together with the blessedness thereof, being the sum and substance of 27 sermons preached a little before his death in 1651.
“Christopher Love was a brilliant young Welsh preacher and a rising star in the world of Puritan ministry,” wrote Dr. J.I. Packer. Love was a prominent London minister, a staunch Presbyterian, a Covenanter, and a member of the Westminster Assembly. The American Puritan, Jonathan Edwards, had Love’s books in his personal library.
