From the foreword by J.I. Packer:

'The Puritans loved the Bible, and dug into it in depth. Also, they loved the Lord Jesus, who is of course the Bible’s focal figure; they circled round him, centred on him, studied minutely all that Scripture had to say about him, and constantly, conscientiously, exalted him in their preaching, praises, and prayers. Mark Jones, an established expert on many aspects of Puritan thought, also loves the Bible and its Christ, and the Puritans as expositors of both; and out of this triune love he has written a memorable unpacking of the truth about the Saviour according to the classic Reformed tradition, and the Puritans supremely. Knowing Christ is a book calculated to enrich our twenty-first-century souls, and one that it is an honour to introduce.'

Review

'Knowing Christ is a majestic gem that will be passed down from generation to generation as a beloved devotional. Its author takes the reader by a loving pastoral hand into depths and riches, exhorting us to know Christ better and to love him more.' --Rosaria Butterfield

'This is a work that will serve the church permanently in helping readers “to know”, whether much better or for the first time, "the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge". I commend it most highly.' --Richard B. Gaffin, Jr.

About the Author

Mark Jones is originally from South Africa, although he has lived in Canada for much of his life. Raised in a nominally Christian household, he developed a passion for the Puritans, writing a doctoral dissertation titled Why Heaven Kissed Earth: The Christology of the Puritan Reformed Orthodox Theologian, Thomas Goodwin (1600-1680). In 2007, he became the pastor at Faith Vancouver Presbyterian Church (PCA in Canada) and he currently serves as a research associate at the Faculty of Theology at the University of the Free State. He is also a lecturer in dogmatic theology at John Wycliffe Theological College, and has authored and edited several outstanding books. In Knowing Christ, Mark Jones shares the truth about Jesus Christ according to Reformed tradition, bringing this classic theology into focus for 21st-century readers. Knowing Christ is an excellent way to discover more about Mark Jones books, a majestic, faith-enriching read.
