Particular Redemption

by John Hurrion

'Christ gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.'

In Particular Redemption , taking up these words of Titus 2:14, John Hurrion expounds the doctrine of redemption, focusing attention especially on the end and design, extent and importance of the death of Christ. There is a peculiar importance attached to a man s last words. That is especially true of John Hurrion. As his life was ebbing away, his mind was flooded with thoughts about his Saviour, Jesus Christ, as he prepared the four addresses found in this book for the press. 'The delight he took in his subject', his editor wrote, 'carried him above his great pain and weakness', and in dying he 'The death of Christ being the fountain of our life, there is nothing more necessary, pleasant, or useful to the Christian, than a right apprehension and remembrance of it.'

'I believe, with certainty, that there is no other view of the doctrine of Redemption able to satisfy the soul...In this doctrine my soul finds the means of life and the means also of dying in comfort.' -- From the Preface by John Elias

[Daniel · Rating 5 out of 5]

Four sermons by an eighteenth-century English preacher that systematically take apart the Arminian arguments for a universal atonement. After reading this volume, you have to conclude that Arminianism is not the gospel as revealed in scripture.

[Matthew Watkins · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very short book of compiled sermons preached on Titus 2:14 proving from reasonable arguments from both sides that Christ’s death purposes salvation for all those whom the Father gave Him.
Great apologetic for believers and unbelievers, the doctrine of limited, definitive, particular (whatever you prefer) atonement is a true showing of the mercy of God that while we were condemned already God sent His Son to die for the purposing of the elect’s redemption.

[Bradley Endsor · Rating 4 out of 5]

It is always good to be reminded of central truths of the Gospel. Of the Saviours who does not fail to save all whom He died for. This short book is a fantastic defence of one of the most controversial elements of the doctrine of Grace, yet when fully embraced shows how much we have glorious Saviour in the Lord Jesus Christ

[Peter LeDuc · Rating 4 out of 5]

This short book consisting of four sermons by John Hurrion on Titus 2:14 is pure gold! Because the debate over the extent of the atonement involves the character of God and the responsibility of men, it is often entered into with logical inconsistencies, sentimental presuppositions, highly emotive arguments, and ambiguous semantics. Avoiding all of these, this Noncomformist pastor has brought an incredible amount of clarity to a complicated debate. Not only does he soundly argue for a particular redemption, but he completely undermines the arguments for the other side exposing their weakness and inconsistency. There is a wealth of knowledge in these sermons guaranteed to help you think deeper about the atonement and the perfections of God.
