How freely can salvation be offered to people? How do Law and Grace
find balance? What influence does federal theology have on the
overall theological enterprise? How does a confessional church
interact with both the civil government and other religious
communions? These are the questions roiling the
twenty-first-century church; these were the questions threatening
to splinter the Scottish church in the early eighteenth century. In
those earlier days of mounting theological confrontation within the
Scottish church, Ebenezer Erskine - a parish minister renowned for
his evangelistic zeal - had a major role to play. Through this
examination of the theology and ministry of Erskine, one therefore
gains not only a deeper understanding of a man critically important
within Presbyterian history, but also insight into the pressing
theological disputes of the day. By analysing Erskine's
contributions to ongoing theological discussion, greater clarity is
gained on the development of federal theology; on the root causes
of the Marrow controversy; and on the challenges involved as
increasing religious diversity penetrated lands once dominated by
national churches. In these areas and more, Erskine serves both to
illuminate an obscure era and to refine modern understandings of
still controversial theological issues.
