Particular Redemption
'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

What a pleasant surprise! I bought it because of the title, with the emphasis on the word "Particular," since Particular Baptist is where I am landing. I thought I would give it a shot. I bought this at a Banner Conference last month.
He launches from Titus 2:14 as his main text and explains the doctrine of redemption and focuses on the "end and design, extent and importance of the death of Christ.
The book covers 4 sermons based solely on that text, with a section on applying those truths. He lays out the groundwork for "definite" atonement, covering the sticky verses and words like ALL and WORLD. He reasons FROM scripture that these words can't be uniformly in the same sense in every instance. His handling of John 6 was an eye-opener for me.
He makes the case that the word US in the text is in reference to the elect who were chosen before the foundation of the world, Ephesians 1:4, and the we in verse 7 is the " US " in verse 4, thereby concluding that Christ's atonement was definite for whom the Father chose in eternity past.
He, of course, presents even stronger and more robust arguments all pointing to definite atonement or Particular Redemption.
The book is over 133 pages and is an easy read. I will be keeping this one close by so I can read and reference it from time to time.

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.

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.

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

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.
