Synopsis

Elements Of Systematic Divinity by Daniel Dewar. This 19th?century polemical Reformed systematics treatise centers on the person and work of Christ as mediator and the Covenant of Grace. It unfolds salvation from atonement and reconciliation through Christ’s priestly intercession, resurrection, ascension, and kingly reign over a redeemed church, insisting that grace is sovereign, free, and efficacious and applied to individuals through faith and holiness. Reconciliation requires mutual love with God and a genuine turning to Christ in repentance and trust. The priesthood of Christ is presented as a one?time expiation complemented by ongoing intercession. The resurrection opens Christ’s mediatorial exaltation and secures justification and the Spirit’s sending, while the ascension and right hand confer continued intercession and authority. The kingly office governs creation and the church, with a gospel shaped by grace, election, and the means of grace. Augustine’s influence on grace?centered theology and the Calvinist–Arminian debate are examined, alongside practical implications for church life, worship, and the unity of Scripture across the Covenant of Grace.
