The Spirituality Of Anne Dutton

The literary output of the 18th-century widow, Anne Dutton, who was a prodigious letter writer, is a veritable spiritual treasure-trove, jam-packed with gospel gems. David Gay, having selected from this rich deposit, and adding his own comments to the extracts, has produced a volume which he hopes will glorify God in the saving of sinners and edification of saints, as Dutton herself had hoped for her labours. The resultant work is a necessary and welcome antidote to the spiritual superficiality so prevalent today, dealing, as it does, with Conversion, the Priesthood of All Believers, Addresses to Sinners, Union with Christ, Assurance, Progressive Sanctification, Sandemanianism (the nature of saving faith) and the New Covenant. Here, on every page, is practical, scriptural theology at its best: God honouring, Christ centred, and all saturated with the Spirit's life and power. It is difficult to see how any believer could read this work and not be challenged, instructed, edified and warmed in heart.Foreword by Michael Haykin, Professor of Church History and Biblical Spirituality at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville.
