A PRACTICAL TREATISE On REGENERATION / John WITHERSPOON / 1789 / Bible Int.

Description: A Practical Treatise On Regeneration. By John Witherspoon, D.D. The Third Edition. London: Printed For Charles Dilly In The Poultry. M.DCC.LXXXIX. “This work has always been regarded as one of the ablest Calvinistic expositions of that doctrine in any language. I hope you approve Mr. Witherspoon's books. I think his Treatise on Regeneration is the best I have seen upon this important subject” - John Newton John Witherspoon (February 5, 1723 – November 15, 1794) was a Scottish-American Presbyterian minister, educator, farmer, slaveholder, and a Founding Father of the United States. Witherspoon embraced the concepts of Scottish Common Sense Realism, and while president of the College of New Jersey (1768–1794; now Princeton University) became an influential figure in the development of the United States' national character. Politically active, Witherspoon was a delegate from New Jersey to the Second Continental Congress and a signatory to the July 4, 1776, Declaration of Independence. He was the only active clergyman and the only college president to sign the Declaration. Later, he signed the Articles of Confederation and supported ratification of the Constitution of the United States. Witherspoon was firmly grounded in the Reformed tradition of High to Late Orthodoxy, embedded in the transatlantic Evangelical Awakening of the eighteenth century, and frustrated by the state of religion in the Scottish Kirk. Witherspoon held firmly to the tenets of confessional Calvinism. His aim as a minister was to defend and articulate traditional Scottish Presbyterian theology, without altering or disguising it.
