Details & Condition
Abraham Booth (1734–1806) was one of the leading English Particular Baptist ministers and theologians of the eighteenth century. Largely self-educated, he became a respected preacher in London and was known for his careful defence of the doctrines of grace and justification by faith. His writings influenced generations of Calvinistic Baptists and evangelical Christians, combining doctrinal precision with pastoral warmth.
Thomas Chalmers (1780–1847) was one of Scotland's greatest churchmen, serving as minister, professor, and eventually the first Moderator of the Free Church of Scotland following the Disruption of 1843. Renowned as both a preacher and social reformer, his endorsement of Booth's work reflects the esteem in which it was held among evangelical Christians.
The Reign of Grace explores God's saving work from its beginning in the sinner's conversion through the whole Christian life until its glorious completion in eternal glory. Booth contrasts the reign of divine grace with the tyranny of sin, showing that salvation is entirely the work of God's mercy through Christ. Topics include justification, sanctification, perseverance, the believer's assurance, and the final triumph of God's redeeming purpose. It remains a classic exposition of Reformed evangelical theology and the doctrines of sovereign grace.
A desirable nineteenth-century edition of a respected evangelical classic, presented in a full leather binding that will appeal to collectors of antiquarian theology, and Baptist history.
