This is a reprint of an early edition printed in London. James' biographers, John Campbell, declared that The Anxious Inquirer is immeasurably superior to Richard Baxter's A Call to the Unconverted and Philip Doddridge's Rise and Progress of Religion in the Soul-both enduring classics in their own right. This book was tremendously popular in its day, going through six editions in its first year and selling over half a million copies overall.
The reader is also offered much practical advice on dealing with common mistakes, perplexities and discouragements encountered by those seeking salvation.Īlthough written primarily for those who have been awakened to their need of a Savior, The Anxious Inquirer can be read with profit by anyone, including those who have been churchgoers for many years, and especially those who are called upon to counsel people who are anxious about their soul's salvation. Biblical repentance and saving faith are clearly explained.
The author skillfully guides the seeking soul to the one and only source of salvation, the Lord Jesus Christ and his finished work on the cross. As immortal spirits destined for eternal bliss or everlasting misery, no question is more important than "What must I do to be saved?" This book answers that question in classic fashion. Deep anxiety about salvation is the most reasonable thing in the world.
