Exposition of the Sermon on the Mount

A careful verse-by-verse exposition of Matthew 5–7, the Sermon on the Mount, by the leading Puritan theologian of Elizabethan England. Perkins unfolds true blessedness through the Beatitudes, expounds the moral law's deep demands, and addresses prayer, fasting, and almsgiving against hypocritical religion. He defends the Reformed interpretation against Roman Catholic distortions, argues that Christ came to clarify rather than replace Moses, and presses each doctrine into searching practical application for Christian living.
