About the author

John Gill (1697-1771) born at Kettering, Northamptonshire, was an English Baptist, a Bible scholar, and a staunch Calvinist. Gill received the degree of Doctor of Divinity from the University of Aberdeen in 1748. He was a profound scholar and a voluminous author.

His first pastoral work was as an intern at age 21. He became pastor at the Strict Baptist church at Goat Yard Chapel, 1719, his pastorate lasting 51 years. In 1757 his congregation needed larger premises and moved to a Carter Lane, St. Olave’s Street, Southwark. This Baptist church was once pastored by Benjamin Keach and would later become the New Park Street Chapel and then the Metropolitan Tabernacle pastored by Charles Spurgeon.

[Creation · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was the foundation for my discipleship training during my teen years. It is a bit cumbersome to read as it is written in old Enghish but it is in fact an amazing work of theology.

Highly recommended, even with disagreements with Dr. Gill.

[Daniel Poe · Rating 5 out of 5]

Probably the most excellent Reformed Baptist systematic theology ever! Definitely worth the read, along with his top-notch expositions of the entire Bible.
