- Notes
- Ferguson reads the eighteenth-century Marrow controversy in the Church of Scotland as a live diagnosis: that legalism and antinomianism are not opposites but the same disorder, a heart that does not trust the Father's goodness. Foreword by Timothy Keller. Boston, whose annotated Marrow of Modern Divinity started the quarrel, is elsewhere in this catalogue.
