A Hot Pepper Corn

Más información sobre el libro

The book delves into the intense theological debates surrounding justification in seventeenth-century English Puritanism, focusing on Richard Baxter's views. Baxter challenged the rigid Calvinist stance on sola fide, advocating for a synergy of faith and works in response to God's grace. The discourse is marked by sharp disagreements, particularly with John Crandon, who criticized Baxter's perspective. The study positions Baxter as an eclectic scholastic covenantal theologian, emphasizing the crucial distinction between God's conditional covenant and His absolute will in understanding his theology.
