Since the days of the early church, Christians have wrestled with the relationship between the law and gospel. If, as the apostle Paul says, salvation is by grace and the law cannot save, what relevance does the law have for Christians today? By revisiting the Marrow Controversy - a famous but largely forgotten eighteenth-century debate related to the proper relationship between God's grace and our works - Sinclair B. Ferguson sheds light on this central issue and why it still matters today. In doing so, he explains how our understanding of the relationship between law and gospel determines our approach to evangelism, our pursuit of sanctification, and even our understanding of God himself. Ferguson shows us that the antidote to the poison of legalism on the one hand and antinomianism on the other is one and the same: the life-giving gospel of Jesus Christ, in whom we are simultaneously justified by faith, freed for good works, and assured of salvation.--Publisher.… (més)

An excellent study of an 18th century theological controversy and its contemporary pastoral application. Beautiful exemplar of historical theological scholarship pitched to a popular audience. Especially good on assurance. I'll be returning to this over the years. ( )

Well written - engaging - relevant - theologically deep. Uncovers the Morrow controversy and how it is relevant today. Particularly salient was Ferguson's point that the benefits of the Gospel cannot be separated from Jesus. Jesus is the good news. I would highly recommend! ( )

[Foreword] The volume in your hands is not just a helpful historical reflection; it is also a tract for the times.
[Introduction] The Whole Christ: Legalism, Antinomianism, and Gospel Assurance--Why the Marrow Controversy Still Matters sounds like a book title with a history. And so it is.
The story begins some three hundred years ago in a small Scottish town, at a meeting attended by perhaps a few dozen men.
[Conclusion] These "Variations on Some Themes from the Marrow Controversy" have now reached a conclusion, ending not with a climatic crescendo but with the calmer notes of a deep and well-grounded assurance.
