The Life of God in the Soul of Man
Book • 2024
Written originally as a letter of spiritual counsel to a friend, 'The Life of God in the Soul of Man' by Henry Scougal explores the essence of true religion.
Scougal argues that true religion is not merely about external observances or moral actions, but rather a vital, inward principle of the divine life.
He describes this divine life as a union of the soul with God, a real participation in the divine nature, and the formation of Christ within the believer.
The book has been influential in the evangelical movement, guiding readers to understand and desire a living, loving relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
