I would recommend beginning with “Man’s Fourfold State” found in volume 8. It’s a good start to understanding Boston’s preaching. You won’t be disappointed. Dr. Philip Graham Ryken of Tenth Presbyterian chose to write his doctoral thesis on the Fourfold State. Here are his own words:

Among the more important reasons for selecting the Fourfold State for this purpose are its status as Boston’s most influential and widely recognized work in the eighteenth century and after, the frequency with which he returned to edit its main text, the centrality of its major themes to his preaching as a whole. and the disproportionately scant attention it has received in critical scholarship.

Thanks for stopping by and looking around. I see that you have a site under construction and that it will be very cool

What kind of site will it be? What kind of things will you post?

It’s amazing that those who espoused ‘preparationism’ during Boston’s lifetime couldn’t see that they were merely importing a Roman doctrine into Reformed theology.

Thanks. I’m glad you stopped by and found the reading interesting.

Trevor,

I know just what you mean. I never made the connection either before I read Boston’s comment. What he says makes perfect sense.

In His Service,
