Synopsis

Discover how grace governs salvation from start to finish.

In this classic theological work, the author explores how God’s free favor shapes the journey of salvation. It contrasts the old notion of a works-based path with the gospel’s grace-driven arrangement, showing why righteousness comes from Christ and the Spirit, not human effort. This edition clarifies key distinctions between the covenant of grace and the covenant of works, helping readers understand justification, sanctification, and the ultimate hope of glory.

Designed for thoughtful readers, the book examines how divine influence is essential for faith, obedience, and true holiness. It invites careful reflection on one’s foundation for hope and invites believers to pursue a life of reliance on grace rather than reliance on self-righteousness.

• Clear explanation of grace, faith, and justification
• Contrast between covenants of works and grace
• Discussion of righteousness as God’s gift, not human merit
• Practical, devotional guidance for living by grace

Ideal for readers seeking a firm, biblically rooted understanding of salvation and its divine source.

About this title

Product Description

Excerpt from The Reign of Grace: From Its Rise to Its Consummation

However the doctrine of Reigning Grace may be decried as licentious, it is that very truth which God in all ages has delighted to honour; which the divine Spirit has owned for the information and comfort, for the holiness and happiness of sinful men. Were I not fully persuaded of this, rather than appear as an advocate for it, I would condemn my tongue to everlasting silence, and my pen to perpetual rest.

About the Author

Abraham Booth (1734-1806) was born at Blackwell in Derbyshire. On reaching his 24th year, he married Elizabeth Bowmar, a farmer’s daughter, and soon afterwards opened a school at Sutton-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire. The preaching of some Baptists drew him to a sense of religion and in 1755 he was baptised by immersion. In 1760 Booth became superintendent of the Kirby Woodhouse congregation. Up to this time he had been a convinced Arminian. But now he changed his views for the doctrines held by Particular Baptists. He composed his work The Reign of Grace (here in abridged form) in 1768. Soon after its appearance, the Particular Baptist Church in Little Prescot Street, London, invited Booth to be their pastor. He was ordained there in 1769. He died in January 1806, having been a pastor for some 35 years. During his pastorate, an academy was founded, which is now in Oxford, known as the Regents Park College for ministerial training.
