The Christian in Complete Armour
by William Gurnall · 1036 pages · English
William Gurnall's extensive Puritan exposition of Ephesians 6 on the believer's spiritual armor — regarded as one of the most thorough classic treatises on spiritual warfare.
Originally published in three parts between 1655 and 1662, this is the most extensive Puritan exposition ever written on Ephesians 6 and the believer's spiritual armor. Gurnall examines each piece — the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shield of faith — with unmatched pastoral detail.
Charles Spurgeon recommended it enthusiastically to pastors of his generation, and although its original scope spans several volumes, modern editions typically offer it in condensed form without losing its essential richness.
