An attractively laid out edition of the Christian classic with
explanatory notes from well-known puritan Thomas Boston An
intriguing book, quite unlike any other The Marrow of Modern
Divinity defies pigeon-holing. It was written in the 1600s by an
author of whom we know little, yet it proved to be a critically
important and controversial theological text. Penned as dialogue
between a minister (Evangelista), a young Christian (Neophytus), a
legalist (Nomista) who believes Christianity is a set of rules to
be obeyed and Antinomista who thinks it's okay to sin because God
will forgive him anyway, it makes for a wonderfully insightful book
that remains tremendously relevant for our world today. This newly
laid out and eagerly awaited edition includes explanatory notes by
the famous puritan Thomas Boston, an introduction by Philip Ryken
and an historical introduction by William Vandoodewaard.
