PRECIOUS BIBLE PROMISES by Samuel Clarke (All About Prayer)

Samuel Clarke (1675-1729) was the compiler of this eminent book of Precious Bible
Promises (1750). "Whereby are given unto us Exceeding Great and Precious Promises:
that by these ye might be partakers of the Divine Nature" (2Peter 1:4). As an English
academic, theologian, and preacher, Clarke would be found mastering Isaac Newton's
new system of the Universal Laws of Motion and translating an invaluable textbook to
introduce and promote Newton's position (1697), defending the Christian religion in A
Discourse concerning the Being and Attributes of God, the Obligations of Natural
Religion, and the Truth and Certainly of the Christian Revelation (1705), serving as a
chaplain to Protestant Queen Anne of England (1705), translating Isaac Newton's Optics
(1706), expounding upon the Tri-Unity of God in his celebrated treatise The Scripture
Doctrine of the Trinity (1712), refusing the secular post of Master of the Mint (1727) upon
the death of Sir Isaac Newton (whom he would have replaced), and accumulating ten
volumes of his own sermons (published posthumously); but, best remembered by many
Christians is his compilation of Precious Bible Promises, which shows us that Dr.
Samuel Clarke had not only a keen intellect, but a true understanding of the evangelical
"faith which worketh by love" (Galatians 5:6) and its attendant Promises. "Let him that
glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth Me, that I am the LORD which
exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the Earth: for in these things I
delight, saith the LORD" (Jeremiah 9:24).
