Full title[show]
Immanuel. Or, A discovery of true religion, as it imports a living principle in the minds of men; grounded upon Christs discourse with the Samaritaness. Joh. 4. 14. Being the latter clause of The voice crying in a wilderness; or a continuation of The angelical life: partly composed at the same time
The Dial's edition: Glasgow, 1669
Shaw's pastoral-theological argument that 'true religion' is not mere profession but a living inward principle—a transformed heart and will—worked in the believer by Christ. The main treatise is explicitly grounded on Christ's discourse with the Samaritan woman (John 4) and was issued as the latter portion of Shaw's larger devotional project (The Voice Crying in a Wilderness… / the Angelical Life); it is paired with a separate discourse on communion with God that presses toward experiential piety rather than purely external observance. Listed in The Dial as Immanuel, by SS, London 1669.
