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.

The Marrow of Modern Divinity, written by Edward Fisher (whose identity is obscure) and published in the mid-seventeenth century, was systematic theology in a popular format. Featuring discussions among four people -- Nomista, a legalist; Antinomista, an antinomian; Neophytus, a young Christian; and Evangelista, a Christian minister -- it distilled in palatable form complex issues in law and grace that drive toward Christian maturity. A century later, Thomas Boston, that most prolific of Scottish pastor-theologians, so prized the work that he published a new edition, complete with his own notes. This new edition by Christian Focus preserves all of this material, but in a new layout with wide margins and clean type, making it a joy to read.

D. A. Carson, Emeritus Professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Deerfield, Illinois

"This truly evangelical volume is remarkably well done. This would be a great gift for your pastor and, if he takes it to heart and it changes his preaching, it could be a great gift to the whole congregation!"

R. Scott Clark, Professor of Church History and Historical Theology, Westminster Seminary, Escondido, California

Endorsements

Anyone who comes to grips with the issues raised in The Marrow of Modern Divinity will almost certainly grow by leaps and bounds in understanding three things: the grace of God, the Christian life, and the very nature of the gospel itself. I personally owe it a huge debt.

Sinclair B. Ferguson, Chancellor’s Professor of Systematic Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary, Jackson, Mississippi

The Marrow emphasizes biblical, evangelical doctrines such as the sovereignty of God in the covenant of grace, the free offer of the gospel, assurance in Christ as the essence of faith, and sanctification by grace rather than by the law.
