Inhaltsangabe:

In this impressive work, theologian and lifelong student of the Bible Samuel Clarke examines and organizes the many promises written in the Old and New Testament.

A study brimming with thoroughness and insight, Clarke's collection takes us through the entirety of the Holy Bible, categorizing and arranging the promises written upon its pages. A preface followed by a lengthy introduction clarifies the systematic elements of the author's organized selection, and discusses the nature and significance of God's promissory passages to His believers.

The Biblical promises are demonstrated to be neither a simple nor trivial portion of the text. Rather they form an integral part of a succession of narratives, a common thread running through most of the canonical books. Poignant themes expressed in the promises are varied and vast; examples include protection from disease, fortune in worldly attainment, inner strength during times of hardship, harmony in one's interactions with others, and caution in one's actions. Some of the promises are plainly stated, others eloquently poetic or evocative, and others recognizable and quoted for centuries.
