Summary:"This book offers an examination of the theology of Samuel Rutherford (c.1600-1661) beginning with the doctrine of revelation and concluding with assurance of salvation." "It is drawn largely from Rutherford's magnum opus or summa theologiae - the Examen Arinianismi - and is set within the context of the seventeenth-century dispute with Arminianismi and the more contemporary debate concerning Calvin vs. the Calvinists."--BOOK JACKET.
