Arminianism is not merely an error-it is a gangrenous disease, eating away at the heart of the gospel itself. But there is a cure: the bible's teaching of the sovereign grace of God. In "Sovereign Grace Against the Gangrene of Arminianism", Richard Resbury (1607-1674) takes up the pen to defend the bedrock truths of the Bible against the creeping error of free-will doctrines. With clarity, precision, and unwavering conviction, Resbury dismantles the Pelagian roots of Arminian theology and exposes its implications for the glory of God, the sufficiency of Christ, and the hope of salvation.
First published during a time of fierce theological debate, this work challenges free will doctrine and stands as a rallying cry for those who uphold the biblical doctrines of election, grace, and the sovereignty of God as found in the Westminster Standards. Resbury's arguments are grounded in Scripture, illuminated by sound reason, and strengthened by an unshakeable commitment to the gospel of grace.
This book is more than a critique-it is a celebration of the majesty of God's sovereign will. Resbury reveals a theological landscape where God reigns supreme, man's will is rightly understood, and salvation is securely anchored in divine mercy. For those seeking a deeper understanding of the theological debates of the seventeenth century, or for anyone wrestling with questions of God's sovereignty and man's responsibility, this book offers a timely and timeless response.
Prepare to see the gospel defended with zeal and Arminianism unmasked for what it is: a gangrene on the body of Christian truth. Resbury's voice speaks from the past, but his challenge to the modern church is as urgent as ever. Whether you are a seasoned theologian or a seeker of truth, "Sovereign Grace Against the Gangrene of Arminianism" invites you to discover the unbreakable power of God's sovereign grace.
