Description

The True Bounds of Christian Freedom is a clear, scriptural exposition of the place of the law in the life of the Christian. One of the few works currently available which shows the danger of Antinomianism, while also avoiding legalism.

Does our being made free by Christ free us from the law?
Does our being made free by Christ deliver us from all punishments or chastisements for sin?
Is it consistent with Christian freedom to be under obligation to perform duties because God has commanded them?
May Christ’s freemen come into bondage again through sin?
Is it consistent with Christian freedom to perform duties out of respect for the recompense of the reward?
Does the freedom of a Christian free him from all obedience to men?

About the Author

Born in London in 1606, Samuel Bolton became a scholar and member of the Westminster Assembly. He was educated at Manchester School and Christ’s College, Cambridge (BA 1629; MA 1632). He ministered successively in St. Martin’s, Ludgate Street, in St. Saviour’s, Southwark, and in St. Andrew’s, Holborn (all London parishes). Bolton was chosen one of the Westminster assembly of divines in 1643. On the death of Dr. Bainbrigg, he was appointed Master of Christ’s College in 1654, and later served as Vice-Chancellor of the University. Although ‘with no ministerial charge’ at this time, he ‘preached gratuitously every Lord’s day for many years.’ He died in October 1654, after a long illness.
