THE GOSPEL IN VARIOUS ASPECTS: A BOOK FOR THE ANXIOUS
by William Landels, Minister of Regent’s Park Chapel
New Edition
London: James Nisbet & Co., 21 Berners Street, 1866

A Victorian evangelical work by William Landels (1823–1899), the prominent Scottish Baptist minister and preacher. Landels served at Regent’s Park Chapel in London and became an influential figure within nineteenth-century British Baptist life. Contemporary accounts describe him as a noted preacher, and he later held an important place in Baptist denominational affairs.

A strongly evangelical treatment of the Gospel and salvation, arranged under seven principal subjects: What is the Gospel?; The Love of God to the World; God’s Unspeakable Gift; The Sin of the World Put Away by Christ; Eternal Life in Christ; Look and Live; and The Hindrance to Salvation.

The book is particularly concerned with assurance, repentance, faith in Christ and the salvation of the anxious or seeking reader.

Original blue textured cloth, blind-ruled decoration to boards, with gilt title and author to the upper board and gilt lettering to spine.
