Description

---

This rare, never-before-published volume powerfully expounds a neglected book of Scripture. David Dickson carefully applies Lamentations in a time not only of epidemic disease, international turmoil, economic devastation, and persecution but also of revival. There are clear parallels with our own time, particularly the unprecedented circumstances of upheaval in the nations of the world. Dickson also deals with church decline and argues that its afflictions should cause us great sorrow. Yet he also shows how Lamentations gives those with such heavy hearts words with which to sorrow in hope. This edition has been carefully produced from notes taken by a member of Dickson's congregation.

Naphtali Press Special Editions (NPSE)

Hearkening back to the days of subscription and older days of patron-supported publishing, through yearly sponsorships NPSE researches and produces labor-intensive Puritan, Reformed, and Presbyterian titles that otherwise would be cost prohibitive to produce in good-quality and critical editions. Depending on sponsorship levels, each series year NPSE will be able to take on projects such as large, Puritan-era works never published in modern editions; transcriptions of Puritan and other era works that remain in manuscript; and translations of Reformed works into English for the first time.
