Buku All Things for Good – Thomas Watson

Thomas Watson’s book All Things For Good provides the biblical answer to the contemporary question; Why do bad things happen to good people?

Thomas  Watson, the 17th-century minister of St. Stephen’s Walbrook, believed  he faced two great difficulties in his pastoral ministry. The first was  making the unbeliever sad, in the recognition of his need for God’s  grace. The second was making the believer joyful in response to God’s  grace. He believed the answer to the second difficulty could be found in  Paul’s teaching in Romans 8.28: God works all things together for good  for his people.

First published in 1663 (under the title A Divine Cordial),  the year after Watson and some two thousand other ministers were  ejected from the Church of England and exposed to hardship and  suffering, All Things For Good contains the rich exposition of a man who lived when only faith in God’s Word could lead him to such confidence.

Thomas  Watson’s exposition is always simple, illuminating, and rich in  practical application. He explains that both the best and the worst  experiences work for the good of God’s people. He carefully analyses  what it means to be someone who ‘loves God’ and is ‘called according to  his purpose’.
