By God's Grace ~ Through God's Word ~ For God's Glory!
Thomas Boston (1676—1732) was born in Duns, Berwickshire, he read arts and divinity at Edinburgh, was a recognized Hebraist, and was known for his profound theological thought. After ordination he held pastorates in his native county and (most notably) at Ettrick, Selkirkshire, where he was installed on the day of the union with England in 1707. Leading a life of deep prayer, he performed many exemplary parochial tasks. Illness never prevented his preaching, and even on his last two Sundays, too feeble for the pulpit, he preached from the manse window on self-examination. His books are Human Nature in its Fourfold Estate (1720), Notes to the Marrow of Modern Divinity (1726), A View of the Covenant of Grace (1734), An Illustration of the Doctrines of the Christian Religion (1773), and many other treatises and volumes of sermons." -C.C.
