Offering and Embracing Christ The Marrow Theology of John Colquhoun of Leith

The free offer of the gospel and the relation of saving faith to assurance, justification, and repentance were central issues in the Marrow controversy of the mid-eighteenth century. In Offering and Embracing Christ, John Biegel finds an unlikely stronghold of Marrow theology in the Established Church of Scotland: John Colquhoun. Biegel demonstrates that Colquhoun's evangelical Calvinism reflected the thought of the Marrow men on offering and embracing Christ. Foreword by Sinclair Ferguson. • Offers theological insight on salvation, assurance, and proclaiming Christ • Highlights a little-known figure in Scottish Church history • Encourages gospel ministers to center their work of the glory of Christ
