"I went to see a man that had one foot in the grave, but I found a man that had one foot in Heaven!" So wrote a visitor to the sick bed of John Fletcher of Madeley. Indeed, so heavenly-minded and so saintly was this clergyman from Switzerland that his closest associates all agreed that they had never met his equal.John Wesley wrote of him: "In general, it is easy to perceive that a more excellent man has not appeared in the Church for some ages. It is true, in several ages, and in several countries, many men have excelled in particular virtues and graces. But who can point out, in any age or nation, one that so highly excelled in all-one that was enabled in so large a measure to 'put on the whole armor of God'? yes, so to 'put on Christ' as to 'perfect holiness in the fear of God'?"This book contains many letters from the pen of Mr. Fletcher. Some are written to his own parishioners, some to his friends, and others to ministerial colleagues. Through them all, the writer continually returns to that which is evidently uppermost in his thoughts: Christ and His wonderful salvation.

This volume is part of a series of English translations of the Syriac Peshitta along with the Syriac text carried out by an international team of scholars.
