The Body of Divinity is James Ussher's most accessible work of theology. It provides a comprehensive summary of the Reformed Christian faith that will prove invaluable to all Christians who want to enter more deeply into the understanding of Scripture.
Ussher was a profound scholar who has much to teach contemporary evangelicals on a number of vital issues. The present volume also includes his Irish Articles of 1615 and a brief exposition of the incarnation entitled 'Immanuel'. Together they constitute a fine introduction to the thought of one of the greatest Reformed evangelical scholars of the 17th Century.
