The Method of Grace in the Gospel Redemption

About this book

John Flavel's treatise on the way God applies redemption to sinners, first published in 1681. Flavel traces the method of grace step by step — election's purpose unfolded in effectual calling, justification, sanctification, and perseverance — with his usual clarity and warmth. It is Flavel at his most pastoral: doctrinal, orderly, and full of application.
