Letters That Continue to Speak VII: Dust and Divinity

This week, we return to our series on Christian letters from history. Previously, we have looked at letters John Newton wrote about stages of the Christian life and a letter he wrote concerning corporate prayer.

This week, we begin looking at a series of eight letters Newton wrote to a “Mrs.—”. We do not have her name, as Newton removed most identifying information from the letters when he published them. But we do know some things about her. She lived in London and wrote to Newton early in his pastoral ministry. She was bothered about the indwelling nature and influence of sin in her life. Newton’s counsel to her applies to every Christian who grieves their sin and desires a closer walk with Christ.

As we work our way through this series, we will not discuss every letter he wrote to her. However, we will have the text of each letter available on our website for you to read. You don’t have to wait week to week to see the letters. All eight letters are linked below for you to read and consider before listening to John discuss them week by week.
