Description
Thomas Boston's Body of Divinity Bundle
Learn how to glorify and enjoy God forever from one of the greatest theologians of the Scottish church. This bundle includes:
1. The Doctrines of the Christian Religion: A Complete Body of Divinity (2 Volumes; Thomas Boston; Introduction by Joel R. Beeke and Randall J. Pederson)
*Please note this set is also found in Thomas Boston's 12-Volume Works.
The first two volumes in The Complete Works of Thomas Boston comprise what has been called Boston’s Body of Divinity. Boston gives a thoroughly pastoral treatment of the major doctrines of the Christian faith arranged in the form of expositions on the Westminster Shorter Catechism. Complete with an introduction to his life and theology by Joel R. Beeke and Randall J. Pederson, these volumes provide an excellent starting point for those who want to benefit from Boston’s experiential piety.
“In the galaxy of the Scottish church—Ecclesia Scotticana—few if any stars shine more brightly than that of Thomas Boston, pastor and theologian par excellence. Indeed, in an era of celebrity pastors, when numbers of followers or subscribers to social media channels or size of congregation all too easily serve as the false measure of a man’s ministry and the model to imitate, Thomas Boston is like a spiritual polestar to guide us by a better way to a better destiny. Here in The Doctrines of the Christian Religion, we can enjoy Boston’s rich ministry as we study with him the Shorter Catechism. Here is a spiritual treasure trove waiting to be opened.”
—Sinclair B. Ferguson, Chancellor’s Professor of Systematic Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary
2. The Westminster Confession (Banner of Truth)
This volume contains the Confession of Faith, the Larger and Shorter Catechisms, the Directory for Public Worship, and the other principal documents to come out of the Westminster Assembly. The text is newly typeset, and biblical references are given in full. Later American revisions of the Westminster Confession are included in an appendix.
"The Westminster Confession is the last of the great reformation creeds. No creed of the Christian church is comparable to that of Westminster in respect of the skill with which the fruits of fifteen centuries of Christian thought have been preserved, and at the same time examined anew and clarified in the light of that fuller understanding of God’s word which the Holy Spirit has imparted."
—John Murray
