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.
In this first American edition the original text remains unaltered, the notes which Dr. Ridgley had subjoined to his work are retained, and for the sake of distinction, printed in Italics. The other notes have been added by Dr. Wilson; and in every instance wherein they have been selected by him from others, they are accompanied by marks of quotation, and the name of the author or book from whence they were taken.
