This is one of the leading works of evangelical religion of the 18th century, bringing together William Romaine's trilogy of writings on the subject of Christian faith. Together, they provide both a compelling statement of, and a profound insight into, 18th century evangelical thought. Through his writing and preaching, William Romaine's pulpit became a rallying place in London for all who esteemed evangelical truth, and in both learning and zeal, it was said of him that few men equalled him, and fewer still surpassed. "He stood alone, with almost no backers, supporters, or fellow labourers. He stood in the same place, constantly preaching to the same hearers, and not able like Whitefield, Wesley, Grimshaw and other itinerant brethren, to preach old sermons. He stood there witnessing to truths which were most unpopular, and brought down on him opposition, persecution, and scorn. He stood in a public post, continually watched, observed, and noticed by unfriendly eyes, ready to detect faults in a moment if he committed them. Yet, during all these 45 years he maintained a blameless character, firmly upheld his first principles to the last, and died at length like a good soldier at his post, full of days and honour." Bishop J.C. Ryle
