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.

[Michael Bunker · Rating 5 out of 5]

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.
