A man may be known by the company he keeps. Here, Faith Cook introduces us to Samuel Rutherfordâs friends, who are called on to give us a fresh look at the man who has long been held in such high affection by Christian people around the world.
The days in which Samuel Rutherford (c.1600-1661) lived were ones in which âa man must sin or sufferâ, and most of Rutherfordâs friends chose the latter course. Two were martyred, two exiled and all paid a high price for allegiance to the truth.
The primary aim of these short biographies is to cast light on Rutherfordâs genius as a faithful counsellor and spiritual guide. We are introduced to the depth and beauty of his Letters and brought to share in the wisdom and consolation of his pastoral ministry.
