Description
Jesus said that people must be "born again," and that without this work of the Spirit of God in them, they could not enter the kingdom of God. Thus, the new birth, or regeneration, is of great importance.
But the questions arise: is regeneration the result of faith, or is it the cause of faith? And what part does the human will play in this eternally significant event? These are the questions taken up in this book by the great theologian Peter Van Mastricht. The author was educated at the University of Utrecht and served as a pastor in Germany and Denmark before accepting a position as professor of Hebrew and practical theology at Frankfurt first, then at his alma mater later.
This material is taken from his Theologia Theoretico-Practica (Theoretical and Practical Theology) and was greatly influential to the thought Jonathan Edwards, who incorporated many of Van Mastricht's ideas in his famous book, The Freedom of the Will.
