William Carter (1605–1658) was a tireless puritan preacher, scholar, and Westminster Divine, wholly devoted to Christ and His Kingdom.
In this concise collection, William Carter, a staunch defender of Reformed orthodoxy, illuminates God’s covenantal dealings with His people, offering clarity, correction, and exhortation in an era of theological confusion. Grounded in Scripture and the Westminster Standards, Carter’s writings reveal the covenant of grace, the sufficiency of Christ, and the power of God’s ordinary means of grace, delivering timeless truths for believers.
In The Covenant With Abraham Opened, Carter asserts that the covenant of grace, established with Abraham, extends to all generations through Christ. Drawing from Hebrews 6:13–18, Genesis 17 and Acts 2:38-39, he shows that God’s promises include believers and their children, with baptism replacing circumcision as the covenant’s seal. He calls for faithfulness to God’s Word and holiness in both Church and home.
In The Manifestation of God to His People in the Last Days, Carter emphasizes the sufficiency of Scripture and the ordinary means of grace for spiritual growth. Reflecting on Hebrews 1:1-2, he exhorts believers to trust in Christ’s finished work, embrace the Word and prayer, and reject the pursuit of extraordinary revelations, urging reliance on God’s ordinary yet powerful tools.
In Light in Darkness, Carter delivers a sermon to the House of Commons during national turmoil, reflecting on Psalm 65:5. He reminds listeners that trials are tools of God’s refining grace. With calls to humility and perseverance, Carter encourages believers to trust God in adversity and labor faithfully for His kingdom.
Finally, in Israel’s Peace with God, Carter explores the necessity of repentance and reconciliation for divine blessing. Rooted in Judges 20:26-28, he urges repentance, faith in Christ, and covenantal renewal, calling the Church to labor with the confidence that God’s grace will sustain them.
This volume distills rich theological insight, practical exhortation, and enduring pastoral wisdom.
