The Doctrine of the Covenant of Redemption According to John Gill

""Wang Yong Lee has brilliantly offered a well-developed and insightful interpretation of Gill's important work that will enable a new generation of Baptist theologians--including both particular and general Baptists--to wrestle afresh with Gill's complex thought and its implications for church and ministry today. It is truly a joy to recommend Lee's outstanding work on The Doctrine of the Covenant of Redemption."" --David S. Dockery, president and distinguished professor of theology, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary ""Dr. Lee's thoroughly researched study introduces readers to Gill's unique approach to the covenant of redemption, ultimately showing how Gill can embrace covenant theology as a decided Baptist. A marvelous work that richly rewards careful reading!"" --Robert Caldwell, professor of church history, School of Theology, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary ""Lee has shown the more profound picture of Gill's soteriology as a fully Trinitarian, Christocentric, covenant-centered, biblical exposition of God's eternal counsels in bringing redemption to his fallen image-bearers. He shows Gill's work to be an exercise, not of philosophical abstraction, but in coherent biblical and theological thinking unfolding the heart of covenant theology. This work is edifying and instructive and provides a corrective perspective on the value of Gill's careful biblical/doctrinal work in service of revealed truth."" --Tom J. Nettles, visiting professor of historical theology, Covenant Baptist Theological Seminary ""John Gill continues to draw the interest of contemporary theologians. Wang Yong Lee offers a detailed exposition of Gill's doctrine of the covenant of redemption, an important feature of Gill's thought that remains somewhat neglected in modern study. This volume will prove a valuable resource for historians and theologians who wish to understand Gill more deeply; it addresses some of the central aspects of this thought."" --David Rathel, associate professor of Christian theology, Gateway Seminary ""Gill emphasized reconciliation to God in Christ with his whole life . . . . And we should be thankful that he did so as we again and again consult his works to help us preserve, protect, and proclaim the faith once for all delivered to the saints."" --Malcolm B. Yarnell III, research professor, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, from the foreword
