The Supremacy of God in the Theology of Samuel Rutherford

This book offers an examination of the theology of Samuel Rutherford (c.16001661), beginning with the doctrine of revelation and concluding with assurance of salvation. It is drawn largely from Rutherfords magnum opus or summa theologiae the Examen Arminianismand is set within the context of the seventeenth century dispute with Arminianism and the more contemporary debate concerning Calvin versus the Calvinists.
