“But who do you say that I am?” Glimpse the true glory of the person of Christ as he really is. Drawing on the work of Puritans like John Owen and Thomas Goodwin, this stimulating book has drawn enthusiastic praise for its passionate and scripturally profound description of Christ’s nature and work. Arranged into short, accessible chapters ideal for devotional use and for group studies.

“The Puritans loved the Bible, and dug into it in depth. Also, they loved the Lord Jesus, who is of course the Bible’s focal figure; they circled round him, centred on him, studied minutely all that Scripture had to say about him, and constantly, conscientiously, exalted him in their preaching, praises, and prayers. Mark Jones, an established expert on many aspects of Puritan thought, also loves the Bible and its Christ, and the Puritans as expositors of both; and out of this triune love he has written a memorable unpacking of the truth about the Saviour according to the classic Reformed tradition, and the Puritans supremely. Knowing Christ is a book calculated to enrich our twenty-first-century souls, and one that it is an honour to introduce.”
– J.I. Packer (from the foreword)
