The Loveliness of Christ is a beautiful little gift book containing
short extracts in which some of Rutherford’s most helpful thoughts are
allowed to stand out in their unadorned wisdom and power.
Those
familiar with Andrew Bonar’s great nineteenth-century collection of the
Letters of Samuel Rutherford will feel that this setting of brief
quotations makes Rutherford’s words sparkle like diamonds on a dark
cloth in a jeweler’s shop. It is not surprising then, that a hundred
years ago, H. C. G. Moule, the Anglican Bishop of Durham, said in his
simple but elegant commendation of the original edition of The
Loveliness of Christ that it was a small casket stored with many
jewels. It is the publisher’s wish that the reader, in meditating on
these pages, will find here help, comfort, wise counsel, and spiritual
compass, and to say with Rutherford, “Every day we may see some new
thing in Christ. His love hath neither brim nor bottom.”
