The Priest of Filthy Rags

In this edition of his classic story, The Priest with Dirty Clothes, Dr. R.C. Sproul aims to illustrate theological concepts for children. Here, he teaches the concept of imputation, which lies at the heart of the important biblical doctrine of justification.

Using the story of Joshua the high priest (Zechariah 3) as his starting point, Dr. Sproul weaves a classic tale about a young priest who is invited to preach his first sermon before the king and his court. But on his way to the palace, he falls off his horse, leaving his clothes hopelessly muddy. Jonathan discovers that he needs powerful help if he is to appear before the king.

This edition of The Priest with Dirty Clothes includes completely new illustrations by Justin Gerard and a new "For Parents" section to help them reveal the truth of the book to their children.
