Christs Temptation and Transfiguration

by Thomas Manton

A rich collection of fourteen sermons exploring two pivotal Gospel events: Christ's temptation in the wilderness (Matthew 4) and His glorious transfiguration on the mountain (Matthew 17). Manton draws practical lessons from Satan's strategies and Christ's victories, equipping believers to resist temptation through Scripture and faith. The transfiguration sermons unveil the majesty of Christ's divine glory, the authority of His prophetic office, and the hope of future glory awaiting the saints. Throughout, Manton masterfully connects doctrinal exposition with urgent pastoral application.

Christ's Temptation and Transfiguration, Practically Explained and Improved in Several Sermons.

By the late Reverend Thomas Manton, Doctor of Divinity.

London, Printed in the Year, 1685.

To the Reader

The following discourses on those important subjects of the temptation and transfiguration of our Blessed Savior, together with the sermons on the first chapter of the Epistle to the Colossians, from the 14th to the 21st verse, having been carefully perused and transcribed from the reverend author's own manuscripts, are now at the earnest request of various persons that were the happy auditors thereof, offered to public view: had the author lived to publish these himself, they had come forth into the world more exact; but yet as they are now left, I doubt not but they will be very acceptable to all that have discerning minds, for the peculiar excellency contained in them.

Thus much was thought necessary to be said by way of preface. The work sufficiently commending itself, especially coming from such an author as Doctor Manton.
