A finely bound set of Foxe’s Acts and Monuments. This edition was printed in 1641 in London and contains many plates and illustrations. Besides the 8 volume editions of the victorian era, all editions of Foxe’s Book of Martyrs are greatly abridged after the 17th century. Perhaps no book, other than the Bible, had a greater influence on the Reformation. £1,900.00.

We are pleased to be now taking orders for The Marrow Controversy, 1718–1723 by David C. Lachman. Widely regarded as the definitive work on the Marrow Controversy, Lachman’s study combines meticulous historical research with a deep understanding of the theological issues at stake, making it the standard modern treatment of one of the most important debates in Scottish church history.

RRP £29.99, our price £22.95.

The Marrow Controversy remains one of the defining theological debates in the history of the Scottish church. Centred around the republication of The Marrow of Modern Divinity, the controversy raised vital questions about grace, assurance, repentance, and the free offer of the gospel. Men such as Thomas Boston and the Erskine brothers defended the book against charges of antinomianism, arguing that salvation is entirely by the free grace of God in Christ, not by human merit or preparation. The debate would leave a lasting mark on Scottish Presbyterianism, shaping later Evangelical and Reformed theology, and helping preserve a strong emphasis on Christ freely offered to sinners.

Willison was an Evangelical minister in the Church of Scotland during the 18th century. Active during the revivals, it is said the Lord used his preaching as a means of bringing about the Revival in Kilsyth in 1742.
