Thomas Boston (1676-1732) was a Scottish Puritan and church leader. Educated at Edinburgh, he became the minister of a small parish in 1699. In 1704 he came across Edward Fisher's Marrow of Modern Divinity, a compendium of the opinions of leading Reformation divines on the doctrine of grace and the offer of the Gospel. Boston later published an edition of The Marrow with notes of his own.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fundamental questions of human nature and its relationship with God. Drawing upon Scripture and the writings of the wise, the author takes the reader on a journey through the contrasting states of humanity: from the original state of innocence, described as a divinely ordained state of righteousness, to the fallen state of corrupt nature. The author explores the concept of original sin, its pervasive nature, and the ensuing misery it brings, arguing that humans are utterly unable to escape this state on their own. He then introduces the idea of a transformative grace, a new birth made possible through a mystical union with Christ, that allows individuals to break free from their corrupted nature and ultimately achieve eternal happiness. This book reflects the theological debates and preoccupations of its era, a time marked by deep reflection on the human condition and the nature of salvation. It provides a comprehensive theological framework for understanding the journey from sin to redemption and, in doing so, sheds light on the enduring power of faith and the hope of a blessed afterlife.
