Samuel Rutherford of Anwoth

Samuel Rutherford (ca.1600–1661) was one of his era’s most accomplished men—university scholar, defender of the Reformed faith and Presbyterian church government, prolific author, astute political theorist, and Scottish commissioner at the Westminster Assembly from 1643 to 1647. In this study of Rutherford’s life and times, however, Bruce McLennan breaks new ground and zeroes in on his pastoral labors. While Rutherford was highly regarded by contemporaries for his contribution to various aspects of Scottish church life, he made it abundantly clear that his first love, and that to which he believed he was clearly called, was preaching the gospel and shepherding the Lord’s people.
