William Perkins (1558-1602) was a Calvinist minister and theologian who was one of the foremost leaders of the Puritan movement in the Church of England.
This work is a serious study on the doctrine of predestination as it refers to manÕs salvation or reprobation by GodÕs eternal decree. Perkins teaches from the Bible that the doctrine of predestination and GodÕs grace is to be founded on the written Word of God, and not on the judgments of men. He also emphatically shows, by a multitude of examples, that this doctrine also agrees with the grounds of common logic and reason as it should. His purpose is to help, almost exhaustively, those who are Òstuck on the difficulties of the doctrine of predestination.Ó This is a classic puritan work, glorifying the sovereign Creator of heaven and earth, and worthy of deep consideration by every professing Christian.
