The True Bounds of Christian Freedom

Samuel Bolton (1606-1654)

Written as England's civil war unsettled old certainties about law and gospel, this treatise answers six questions about how far a Christian's liberty truly extends. Bolton, a member of the Westminster Assembly, defends the abiding place of the moral law in the believer's life while guarding the freedom that grace secures, steering a course between legalism and antinomian license. He folds the practical question of obedience into covenant theology, and closes with a discourse on the threefold covenant that he translated from John Cameron.
