The Living Temple

Exploring the magnificent truth that the human soul is God's temple (1 Corinthians 3:16–17), John Howe builds a sustained argument for God's existence, attributes, and indwelling presence. Against atheism and rationalist skepticism, Howe demonstrates that reason itself points to a necessary, eternal Being who made the soul for communion with himself. Moving from philosophical proofs to devotional application, he shows how sin desolates this living temple and how divine grace alone can restore it as a dwelling fit for the Holy Spirit — a masterwork of Puritan philosophy and piety.
