Description

An attractively laid out edition of the Christian classic with explanatory notes from well–known puritan Thomas Boston


An intriguing book, quite unlike any other The Marrow of Modern Divinity defies pigeon–holing. It was written in the 1600s by an author of whom we know little, yet it proved to be a critically important and controversial theological text.

 

Penned as dialogue between a minister (Evangelista), a young Christian (Neophytus), a legalist (Nomista) who believes Christianity is a set of rules to be obeyed and Antinomista who thinks it’s okay to sin because God will forgive him anyway, it makes for a wonderfully insightful book that remains tremendously relevant for our world today.

 

This newly laid out and eagerly awaited edition includes explanatory notes by the famous puritan Thomas Boston, an introduction by Philip Ryken and an historical introduction by William Vandoodewaard.

Endorsements

Thomas Boston's annotated edition of The Marrow of Modern Divinity is one of the most important texts in the history of Reformed discussions of justification, assurance and ethics. It has a controversial history - as the notes provided by Boston indicate - but that is because the matters on which it touches are so central to understanding both the gospel and the Christian life. This is a book which repays the time spent studying it.

What can a London barber-surgeon and "amateur" theologian tell us about theology? A lot. This book is famous for the controversy it sparked in Scotland in the eighteenth century, but it has a hidden prehistory that goes back to the early seventeenth century. Essential reading for us today if we wish to understand the Antinomian and Neonomian debates of those eras and how these debates, even today, never seem to go away.

Mark Jones, Minister, Faith Reformed Presbyterian Church (PCA), Vancouver, Canada
