“Bespangled with divine grace”: The spirituality of John Gill
$17.00
By John Gill | Edited by Michael A.G. Haykin & Phil Cotnoir
The name of John Gill has been so signally linked to the term “Hyper-Calvinism” that many have avoided reading this remarkable giant of the Christian Faith for fear of picking up the taint of theological error. What a mistake! Gill’s works, one of the most voluminous bodies of theological literature in the long eighteenth century, contain riches for every Christian believer. This small selection of literary gems, illustrative of his spirituality, are but a small sampling of the value of his works and, hopefully, an encouragement to read more from his pen.
