Synopsis
Discover how grace governs salvation from start to finish.
In this classic theological work, the author explores how God’s free favor shapes the journey of salvation. It contrasts the old notion of a works-based path with the gospel’s grace-driven arrangement, showing why righteousness comes from Christ and the Spirit, not human effort. This edition clarifies key distinctions between the covenant of grace and the covenant of works, helping readers understand justification, sanctification, and the ultimate hope of glory.
Designed for thoughtful readers, the book examines how divine influence is essential for faith, obedience, and true holiness. It invites careful reflection on one’s foundation for hope and invites believers to pursue a life of reliance on grace rather than reliance on self-righteousness.
- Clear explanation of grace, faith, and justification
- Contrast between covenants of works and grace
- Discussion of righteousness as God’s gift, not human merit
- Practical, devotional guidance for living by grace
Ideal for readers seeking a firm, biblically rooted understanding of salvation and its divine source.

About the Author
Abraham Booth (1734-1806) was born at Blackwell in Derbyshire. On reaching his 24th year, he married Elizabeth Bowmar, a farmer’s daughter, and soon afterwards opened a school at Sutton-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire. The preaching of some Baptists drew him to a sense of religion and in 1755 he was baptised by immersion. In 1760 Booth became superintendent of the Kirby Woodhouse congregation. Up to this time he had been a convinced Arminian. But now he changed his views for the doctrines held by Particular Baptists. He composed his work The Reign of Grace (here in abridged form) in 1768. Soon after its appearance, the Particular Baptist Church in Little Prescot Street, London, invited Booth to be their pastor. He was ordained there in 1769. He died in January 1806, having been a pastor for some 35 years. During his pastorate, an academy was founded, which is now in Oxford, known as the Regents Park College for ministerial training.

The Reign of Grace: From Its Rise to Its Consummation (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a practical and doctrinal exploration of the Christian concept of sovereign grace. The author, a resolute proponent of grace, argues that all human worthiness is illusory and that salvation is entirely dependent on the free favor and unmerited kindness of God. This book explores the nature of grace as it reigns in the salvation of sinners. It begins by considering the meaning of the term "grace," which is defined as the eternal and absolutely free favor of God, manifested in the vouchsafement of spiritual and eternal blessings to the guilty and the unworthy. The author then goes on to discuss the various ways in which grace reigns in our salvation, including our election, calling, pardon, justification, adoption, sanctification, and perseverance in the faith. Each of these topics is treated in a clear and concise manner, with ample scriptural support. The author's goal is to show that grace is the only hope for sinners and that it is sufficient to save even the most wretched and depraved. He argues that grace is not a mere theological concept but a powerful reality that can transform lives and bring people into a saving relationship with God. The author writes with passion and conviction, and his words are sure to challenge and inspire readers. This book is a valuable resource for anyone who wants to learn more about the doctrine of grace. It is a timely reminder that salvation is not something that we can earn or deserve, but a free gift that is offered to all who repent and believe in Jesus Christ.
