Letters of Samuel Rutherford I: Six People Who will Benefit

This week, Dr. John Snyder continues exploring classic Christian letters by focusing on one of the greatest Puritan letter writers, Samuel Rutherford. If you’re new to Media Gratiae, don’t worry—we welcome you!

Samuel Rutherford was a Scottish Puritan pastor who endured intense persecution, the loss of several children, and the deaths of two wives. His letters on faith, holiness, and the beauty of Christ have been praised by contemporaries and modern readers alike, often called second only to Scripture.

In this episode, we begin with a brief biographical sketch by Andrew Bonar, who highlights six types of readers who will find Rutherford’s letters especially helpful. If you see yourself in any of these categories, consider getting a copy of Rutherford’s letters from The Banner of Truth Trust (link below).
