A Body of Divinity

Author: James Ussher Publisher: Solid Ground Christian Books Format: Paperback Number of Pages: 488 ISBN-13: 9781599251189 Archbishop James Ussher (1581–1656) was a leader par excellence among the Irish Puritans. His colorful history is inseparable from that of Irish Christianity and from major events transpiring simultaneously in England and Scotland. Ussher's range of achievements are outstanding including ancient languages patristics ancient and Irish history theology and chronology. Though he is best known for his biblical chronology I believe that his Body of Divinity is his most valuable legacy. This volume long overdue to be reprinted was once regarded as a classic in the field of Reformed systematic theology and deserves to be so regarded again. Here is pristine Irish Puritan theology presented to us in a captivating question and answer format. - Joel R Beeke Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary Grand Rapids Michigan.
