It is said that Thomas Boston (1676-1732) did more to cultivate true Christian devotion in Scotland than any other minister in his generation. Boston’s emphasis on God’s free offer of grace and Christ’s meritorious work for the sinner pierced to the very marrow of Christian theology. And where better to sample his warm spirituality than in his collected writings?

Boston's works were first collected and published in 1767 and later reprinted in 1773. The Complete Works, edited by Samuel McMillan and published in twelve volumes in 1853, is now reproduced here with an introduction to Boston's life and theology by Joel R. Beeke and Randall J. Pederson. Boston's writings combine sound exegesis with experiential piety and admonition that continue to encourage a vibrant Reformed spirituality in our own day.

“In the galaxy of the Scottish church—Ecclesia Scotticana—few if any stars shine more brightly than that of Thomas Boston, pastor and theologian par excellence. Indeed, in an era of celebrity pastors, when numbers of followers or subscribers to social media channels or size of congregation all too easily serve as the false measure of a man’s ministry and the model to imitate, Thomas Boston is like a spiritual polestar to guide us by a better way to a better destiny. The Complete Works of Thomas Boston are a spiritual treasure trove waiting to be opened. Here too, thankfully, younger ministers of the gospel can learn what authentic Christian ministry looks like, feels like, and sounds like. I, for one, cannot adequately express my gratitude for Boston’s Works or my appreciation of the vision and commitment of the publishers who have made it possible for us to benefit once more from his ministry.”

“If we may describe anyone as a pastor-theologian, Thomas Boston surely fits the definition in an eminent way. He made a mature and clear covenant theology of grace warm, personal, and practical in his many sermons. Overcoming natural diffidence, he gave clear and unswerving leadership to those in the church who were defending grace and the gospel in all their freeness. In Boston’s sermons Christ is constantly exalted and commended in His fullness and sufficiency. The reprinting of these volumes would do inestimable service if, through the Lord’s blessing, they were to assist in raising up heart-taught, humble pastor-theologians in our generation.”

About the Author

Thomas Boston (1676–1732) was born in Duns, Scotland, the youngest of seven children. He experienced a spiritual awakened when only eleven years old under the preaching ministry of Henry Erskine, the father of Ebenezer and Ralph Erskine. After an education at Edinburgh University, Boston devoted thirty-three years to gospel ministry—first in the parish of Simprin for seven years and then in Ettrick for the remainder of his life. At the denominational level, Boston took a lead in what became known as the Marrow Controversy (1717–1723), where he sought to correct the legalistic tendency in Scottish preaching by emphasizing God’s free offer of grace and Christ’s meritorious work for the sinner.
