Reformed Historical Theology : Volume 77 : The Marrow of Certainty : Thomas Boston's Theology of Assurance

---

Outline: Chun Tse presents the first full-length analysis of Thomas Boston's theology of assurance in six dimensions: trinitarian, covenantal, Christological, soteriological, ecclesiastical, and sacramental. This study disputes that Boston merely follows Calvin, English Puritanism, and Scottish federalism. For Boston, certainty is both extra nos and intra nos, rooted in union and communion with Christ, the nucleus of his theology. He deems assurance innate to faith - a sovereign gift - while upholding self-examination as a human duty. Christ, Boston assets, died for the elect alone, but all are entitled to Christ. As such, assurance is, theologically, a divine gift and, pastorally, a human endeavor. Given his eclectic, nuanced view on certainty, Boston is rightly a theologian and pastor of assurance.
