Description
The free offer of the gospel and the relation of saving faith to assurance, justification, and repentance were central issues in the Marrow controversy of the mid-eighteenth
century. In Offering and Embracing Christ, John Biegel finds an unlikely stronghold of Marrow theology in the Established Church of Scotland: John Colquhoun. Biegel demonstrates
that Colquhoun’s evangelical Calvinism reflected the thought of the Marrow men on offering and embracing
Christ. Foreword by Sinclair Ferguson.
