A renowned Puritan shows the transforming liberty which comes from seeing Christ in the gospel in an exposition of 2 Corinthians 3:17-18. The original title of this study was The Excellency of the Gospel above the Law. Sibbes described the fuller self-revelation of God in the coming of Christ and its greater effect in those who behold that glory by the Spirit. The vitality of the new covenant results in spiritual liberty and likeness to Christ. Thomas Goodwin and Philip Nye supervised the first edition of this work which was first published in 1639, four years after Sibbes’ death.
