The Marrow of Modern Divinity and its Controversy

Republished many times since 1645, The Marrow of Modern Divinity has ever been controversial, as a litmus test for legalism. Thomas Boston (1676-1732) republished The Marrow in 1726 with his own extensive notes, including this caution: "Reader, lay aside prejudices—look and see with thine own eyes...and thou shalt find no Antinomianism taught here; but thou wilt be perhaps surprised to find, that the tale is told of Luther and other famous Protestant divines."

"Anyone who comes to grips with the issues raised in The Marrow of Divinity will almost certainly grow by leaps and bounds in understanding three things: the grace of God, the Christian life, and the very nature of the gospel itself. I personally owe it a huge debt."—Sinclair Ferguson.
