Strangely, for someon who had a significant role in shaping one of the most important theological documents of modern times, his theology has fallen under comparative neglect.

This diverse collections of essays covers the breadth of Rutherford's significant theological contribution. Selected short extracts from Rutherford's works have also been included in order to introduce some of his own writings afresh. - Back cover.
