The Christian in Compleat Armour is a comprehensive spiritual treatise written by William Gurnall, first published in 1655. This book, subtitled "A Treatise of the Saints’ War Against the Devil," delves into the spiritual battles faced by Christians, drawing from the biblical metaphor of the "armor of God" in Ephesians 6. Gurnall exposes the tactics and power of Satan, the grand enemy of God and His people, and provides detailed guidance on how believers can defend themselves against spiritual attacks. He describes the spiritual warfare Christians must engage in, equipping them with the tools—truth, righteousness, faith, and prayer—necessary for this battle. The book serves as both an in-depth theological exploration of the devil’s schemes and a practical manual for Christians, teaching them how to put on the full armor of God and use it effectively. Gurnall’s work remains a classic of Puritan literature, revered for its depth of insight, vivid allegorical style, and pastoral wisdom in guiding believers through spiritual challenges.
