Treatises on Justification and Regeneration

In this work, John Witherspoon responds to the writings of Calvinist theologian James Hervey. Witherspoon emphasizes the importance of imputed righteousness’ connection to righteous living. Working out of Jesus’ conversation with Nicodemus in the Gospel of John, Witherspoon argues that, though we are justified through faith alone, holy living always accompanies the truly regenerated spirit. This volume also includes an introductory essay by William Wilberforce.
