"Whilst the Calvinistic doctrines were the language of our pulpits
as well as of our Articles, the Reformation made a swift and
extensive progress. But ever since our Articles and our pulpits
have been at variance, the Reformation has been at a stand."
(Augustus Montague Toplady) At every Coronation for over three
hundred years, British Monarchs have promised to maintain, "the
true profession of the gospel... the Protestant Reformed religion."
At a time when many Evangelicals and Anglicans are questioning
their theology and re-thinking their identity, it is more important
than ever for us to remember this gospel of sovereign grace. This
book shows how God has used the Reformed gospel of 'grace alone' to
revitalise churches riddled with immorality and flagging in meaning
and purpose. With a focus on hymn-writer and theologian Augustus
Toplady, it retells the story of Reformation and Revival for a new
generation looking to draw strength from its roots. "Toplady
represented a strand of Anglicanism which sought to stand in
continuity with both the Church of England's Reformation roots and
the more precise articulation of Reformed Orthodoxy. Lee Gatiss
does a fine job of recovering this aspect of Toplady for today."
(Carl Trueman, Westminster Theological Seminary) "Readers will find
this study at once encouraging and challenging. It is a strong
example of the way in which historical writing can be both
responsible and transparently useful for the church today." (Garry
Williams, The John Owen Centre, London). Lee Gatiss is a graduate
of New College (Oxford), Oak Hill (London), and Westminster
Seminary (Philadelphia), and has worked for churches in Oxford,
Kettering, and London. He and his family live in Cambridge where he
is researching seventeenth century biblical interpretation.
