A Body of Divinity, Vol. 1 (of 4) / Wherein the doctrines of the Christian religion are explained and defended, being the substance of several lectures on the Assembly's Larger Catechism

A systematic exposition and defense of Christian doctrine drawn from the Assembly’s Larger Catechism, delivered as a series of lectures with explanatory notes. It treats the being and attributes of God, the Trinity, eternal generation and procession, decrees, providence, and the problem of moral evil while rejecting any implication that God authors sin. It argues for election, particular redemption, and efficacious grace while emphasizing the freeness of divine grace, the covenant of grace, and the inseparable link between true belief and practical holiness to rebut charges of licentiousness. Supplemental commentary clarifies technical terms and makes complex theological issues accessible to ordinary readers.
