Limited
Atonement
A
Confutation of the Dutch-Arminian Tenet of Universal Redemption, By Theoph. Brabourn,
1651
Did Christ die for everyone who
has ever lived, or ever will live? Did he die for those who were already in
hell, while he was hanging on the cross? Did he die for those who would never
hear the Gospel, or for those who would hear it and reject it? If he did die
for the sins of those who were already in hell, or who would in the future land
in hell, what are they being punished for? Has God demanded a double payment
for the same offenses, by punishing them once in Christ and again in the sinners?
In this very fine book we have not only a clear refutation of the Arminian
heresy of Universal Atonement, but also a clear defense and declaration of the
Biblical Doctrine of Limited Atonement.
This is taken from the 1619 edition printed in London by
John Bill when it was “Englished out of the Latin copy” Here we see five
of the principal errors of Arminianism refuted in some detail. The Biblical
doctrines of Predestination, Limited Atonement, Total Depravity, Irresistible
Grace, and Perseverance are all clearly explained and defended against the
destructive and damnable heresies of Arminius and his followers. In addition,
you will find “The Sentence of the Synod concerning the Remonstrants” which
will give some insight into the views of these Reformed Theologians concerning
the suppression of heresy by the Magistrate.
