This truly evangelical volume is remarkably well done. This would be a great gift for your pastor and, if he takes it to heart and it changes his preaching, it could be a great gift to the whole congregation!

The "Marrow" is a delightful book on striking a balance between legalism and antinomianism. It being a discourse between the following fictional characters: EVANGELISTA, a Minister of the Gospel; NOMISTA, a Legalist; ANTINOMISTA, an Antinomian; and NEOPHYTUS, a Young Christian. This book includes extensive annotation By Thomas Boston. The Marrow became an important historical document that was both praised and denounced, but never ignored by early seventeenth century Scottish Christianity. Everyone should read this book at least once.
