Produktbeschreibung

Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago. Books from that period are often spoiled by imperfections that did not exist in the original. Imperfections could be in the form of blurred text, photographs, or missing pages. It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.

Autorenporträt

William Guthrie, one of the holiest and ablest of the experimental divines of Scotland, was born at Pitforthy, Angus, the seat of his ancestors, in the year 1620. Educated at St Andrews, where he came under the influence of his cousin James Guthrie and the saintly Samuel Rutherford, he was licensed, 'with the high approbation of the Presbytery', in 1642. Two years later he was ordained minister in the newly erected parish of Fenwick, Ayrshire, in 1644, where he ministered until 1664, except for a brief season of service as chaplain to the Scottish army during the civil war that ended in the execution of Charles I. He was providentially preserved throughout the war, and returned to his flock with increased ardour and devotion. During the unhappy division of the Church of Scotland into the parties of Resolutioners and Protesters or Remonstrants, he adhered to the latter, serving as Moderator of the Protester Synod of Glasgow and Ayr in 1654. A few years later c. 1658 he published 'The Christian's Great Interest'. This work has gone through numerous editions, and has been translated into various languages. In the persecution which followed the Restoration of Charles II, Guthrie was preserved in Fenwick until 1664. He was removed from his pulpit on 24th July of that year. His bodily health, never robust, suffered a severe shock on this occasion; he preached no more in the parish; and about two months later retired to his paternal estate at Pitforthy. There he died, full of faith in the glorious gospel he had preached, on the afternoon of Wednesday, the 10th of October, 1665.
