Thomas Goodwin has been described as 'the forgotten man of English
theology' and, though known by some as a pioneer of
congregationalism and a prominent member of the Westminster
Assembly, the true significance and scope of his life’s work has
only recently been discovered. Historical reassessment has
uncovered that the majority of Goodwin’s treatises were intended
to form a grand project defending Reformed soteriology in the 1650s
against new threats as well as traditional opponents. Examining
Goodwin’s notion of union with Christ in relation to mystical
indwelling, transformation, justification and participation, this
study demonstrates the central role of union with Christ in
Goodwin’s soteriology. The application of salvation, he
contended, must be founded on ‘real’ union with Christ (i.e.,
mystical union forged by Christ’s indwelling) in order to advance
a trinitarian, federal, high Reformed soteriology in which
redemption from sin is set within a Reformed scheme of
Christocentric deification. This in-depth analysis makes a fresh
contribution to recent controversy over union with Christ in the
post-Reformation period.
