Crowned with Immortal Glory

"""What we believe about the future determines how we live in the present. Convinced of this, William Perkins regularly devoted his pen and pulpit to a careful examination of the believer's eschatological hope. In the present volume, Matthew Hartline brings Perkins's pastoral emphasis to light. It was my privilege to read this work in its various stages of development, and it is now my pleasure to recommend the final product to you."" --J. Stephen Yuille, professor of church history and spiritual formation, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary ""Thanks be to God for the life and teaching of William Perkins, and thanks be to God for Matthew Hartline's clear and compelling presentation of Perkins's theology of a believer's future glorification. Read this book if you are a student of Perkins; read it if you yearn to be crowned with immortal glory."" --Donald S. Whitney, professor of biblical spirituality and associate dean, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary ""Matthew Hartline has done us a great service by gleaning from all of William Perkins's corpus to show that for Perkins all the Christian life is oriented towards the believer's eternal dwelling with God. In the process, Hartline provides a succinct overview of all of Perkins's theology, proving Perkins's statement that 'Theology is the science of living blessedly forever' to be true. Readers will be encouraged and challenged to follow the father of Puritanism's example."" --Shawn D. Wright, professor of church history, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary"
