The cause of God and truth: In four parts : with a vindication of part IV from the cavils, calumnies, and defamations of Mr. Henry Heywood

by John Gill

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century.++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

About the author

John Gill (1697-1771) born at Kettering, Northamptonshire, was an English Baptist, a Bible scholar, and a staunch Calvinist. Gill received the degree of Doctor of Divinity from the University of Aberdeen in 1748. He was a profound scholar and a voluminous author.

His first pastoral work was as an intern at age 21. He became pastor at the Strict Baptist church at Goat Yard Chapel, 1719, his pastorate lasting 51 years. In 1757 his congregation needed larger premises and moved to a Carter Lane, St. Olave’s Street, Southwark. This Baptist church was once pastored by Benjamin Keach and would later become the New Park Street Chapel and then the Metropolitan Tabernacle pastored by Charles Spurgeon.

One of the best theological books I ever read. Lays out the entire and correct system of theology. If you could pick only one other book other than the Bible to have with you on that deserted island, this would be a great choice.

I read this book at least once a year from the year 1978.I hope to read it for many years to come, by Gods grace. This book is very instructive and has so much to offer.
