This book offers an insightful look into how Christ's intercessory work impacts individual faith and the collective spiritual journey of Christians, making it a valuable read for those seeking deeper understanding of Christian doctrine and Christ's role as an intercessor."
"Christ's intercession is his gracious will fervently and immovably desiring that for the perpetual virtue of his sacrifice all his members might both for their persons and duties be accepted by the Father." (Section I, Chap. 1)
"The ground of the foundation of Christ's intercession is the sacrifice or death of Christ; and hence we make two parts of Christ's Priesthood or oblation." (Section II, Chap. 1)
"The subject-matter interceded for is that all the Saints and their service might find acceptance with God." (Section III, Chap. 1)
