Doctrinal Divinity by John Gill

In Doctrinal Divinity, 18th century Baptist apologist John Gill presents a robustly Calvinist system of theology. Gill aims to develop a way of understanding and speaking about God, namely, a way to make sense of Gods nature and works. To set the foundation for this project, Gill first discusses the evidence for Gods existence and then moves on to establish the Divine authority of Scripture. Gill then explores Gods characteristics in light of Gods covenant with the chosen elect. Gill provides a Reformed perspective on the three-person Godhead, ultimately arguing for "the plurality of the Trinity in the unity of the Divine." Several sections of Doctrinal Divinity are devoted to the purpose of Christ and the role of Gods grace. The book concludes with a discussion of the final predicament of man. Gill relies heavily on Biblical passages but also cites relevant literature from ancient poets and Greek philosophers. Since Gills style is both narrative and exegetical, Doctrinal Divinity offers an engaging read for all audiences.
