About the Author Thomas Manton:
Thomas Manton (1620-1677) was an English Puritan clergyman and theologian, known for his prolific preaching and writing. He was born in Laurence Lydiard, Somerset, England, and was educated at Hart Hall, Oxford, where he received his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1639 and his Master of Arts degree in 1642.
Manton began his ministry as a curate in Stoke Newington, London, and later became a lecturer at St. Mary’s Church in Coventry. In 1656, he was appointed as a preacher at the famous Westminster Abbey in London, where he gained a reputation as one of the most powerful preachers of his time.
Manton was a leading figure among the Puritans, who sought to reform the Church of England along more Calvinistic lines. He was a member of the Westminster Assembly, which produced the Westminster Confession of Faith and the Larger and Shorter Catechisms, which remain important documents in Presbyterian and Reformed theology.
Manton was a prolific writer, producing numerous sermons and treatises on theology and practical Christian living. Some of his most well-known works include “A Practical Commentary on James,” “A Treatise of Self-Denial,” and “A Treatise of Temptation.” His writings were known for their clarity, depth, and pastoral warmth.
Manton was known for his humility and piety, and was highly respected by his contemporaries. He died in 1677 and was buried in St. Paul’s Cathedral in London. His legacy as a preacher, theologian, and writer continues to influence Christians today, particularly those in the Reformed tradition.
