The Reign of Grace From Its Rise to Its Consummation

by Abraham Booth

Excerpt from The Reign of Grace, From Its Rise to Its Consummation Truly divine, has ever been the object of the world's contempt. It was of old a flumblingblock to the felfrighteous Jew, and fooliflmefs to the phi lofophic Greek. Paul, who was a refolute afiertor of the honours of grace, and indefatigable in preach ing Chrifl, found it fo by repeated experience and that, not only among the illiterate and profane, but alfo among the learned and the devout. Nay, he had frequent occafion to obferve, that the religious devotees of his age were the firfi in oppoling th doctrine he preached, and the mofi hardened ene mies againft the truth of God. The polite, the learned, the religious, were all agreed, to load both his character and his doctrine with the foulefl te proaches. Nor was this treatment peculiar to Paul, but common to all his cotemporaries, who efpoufed the fame glorious caufe, and laboured in the fame beneficent work.

A great devotional book that could have benefited from better formatting and editing.

[David Roush · Rating 5 out of 5]

Well organized unfolding of God's gracious redemption in Christ, from its roots in election to its fullness in consummation. Great doctrinal, practical and devotional systematic on soteriology. I would definitely read it a second time. Oh, the depths...

Greatly doxological.

Amazing!

One of my recent avenues of study is focusing on Particular Baptist preaching and theology. For many in reformed circles they have been limited in their studies to Westminster and early Church writers. Particular baptists have a rich history and theology that should be considered by any serious students of biblical studies and systematic theology in particular. This contribution by Abraham Booth should be ranked right up there with Buchanan’s Justification by Faith, and I can think of no other work on God’s Grace I’ve read more fulfilling or sublime!
