I have recently acquired a copy of the works of Richard Sibbes Volume Five. it It contains Sibbes’ expositions and treatises on Pauline epistles. This volume includes a lengthy exposition of Philippians 2, as well as Sibbes’ exploration of the redemption of bodies and the relationship between the physical and the spiritual realm.

I have not seen him mentioned much on the boards but I have really enjoyed what I have read so far.

Anyone else read much of his writings?


Just noticed the recent acquisitions section, ooops!!

Other than The Bruised Reed I have not read much Sibbes. Though I would like to in due time.

I moved your thread, David.

Sibbes is brilliant in every way.

Thanks Ruben

You look familiar. I just got Sibbes volume three free at the Banner of Truth Conference. It is an expos of 2 Corinthians 1. Also got Brooks vol 1 free.

Ahhh, The Bruised Reed is just great! Sibbes was such a great one! You did well!

Your will, Lord Jesus Christ! Nothing more... nothing less... nothing else.

The Bruised Reed is excellent! I highly recommend reading it!

"A man's most glorious actions will at last be found to be but glorious sins, if he hath made himself, and not the glory of God, the end of those actions." -T. Brooks

Sibbes is great--a bit hard to read at times like any of the Puritans (Shakespeare doesn't come easily either!), but less convoluted than Owen. Once you get past older English, you can really see his pastoral heart, like in Bruised Reed. He's really worth the effort!
