The Emotional Life of Our Lord (Crossway Short Classics)

“This was a groundbreaking work in 1912 . . . This essay helps us to read the Gospels properly. Many Christians have been schooled to read them with one question in mind: “Where am I in this story? With whom do I identify?” Of course, there is something for us to learn about ourselves in every Gospel narrative. But you and I are not in any of them, while Jesus is in all of them! Here Warfield is simply averting our gaze away from ourselves to Jesus. For he is the story...Warfield’s calm exposition helps us to recalibrate our reading of the Gospels so that we can refocus on the Lord himself.”

“True ‘classics’ are more than timeless; they are works of exceptional insight and power. These beautiful booklets put before us works that fully deserve the label. Wise, Christ-centered, and full of gospel comfort, they are treasures that will enlarge both the mind and the soul of all who heed them.”

“We followers of Christ are not always good these days at hearing the wisdom of godly voices from the past. This series of historic writings provides an accessible, beautiful way for us to listen. You can read one of these small treasures in an hour—and the benefits will be large. These writers call us to gospel truth and gospel life in Christ. Hearing their voices is good for our souls.”
