The correspondence covers topics such as suffering, faith, and the Christian life, providing a window into Rutherford's thoughts and his interactions with various individuals during his ministry. The beginning of the volume introduces the reader to Samuel Rutherford's life and the significance of his correspondence. It outlines his early years, including his education, calling to the ministry in Anwoth, and the trials he faced, such as the illness and death of his wife. The text emphasizes Rutherford's deep commitment to his flock, showcasing his dedication in prayer and pastoral visitation even amidst personal suffering.
