Gospel Fear: A Heart That Trembles at the Word of God

Jeremiah Burroughs (1599–1646) was educated at Emmanuel College, Cambridge. He was rector at St. Margaret’s, Tivetshall, from 1631–1636. Because of his nonconformity, he fled to Holland, where he was a colleague of William Bridge. Upon his return to England, he was chosen to preach to the congregations at Stepney and Cripplegate in London, two of the largest congregations in England.
 

"The concept of reverence has nearly been forgotten in our day, even by many who regard themselves as Christians. We are irreverent because we are ignorant of God and His holiness. As Burroughs writes, "The reason men worship God in a slight way is because they do not see God in His glory." These messages on Isaiah 66:2 and 2 Kings 22:19 are a corrective to prevailing ignorance. The entire volume shows our need for reverence and awe toward God and His Word."
