The True Bounds of Christian Freedom by Samuel Bolton

The True Bounds of Christian Freedom by Samuel Bolton is an important Puritan classic addressing one of the enduring questions of Christian life: What does it truly mean to be free in Christ?

Bolton carefully examines the relationship between Christian liberty, grace, God's law and obedience. He explains that salvation by grace does not make God's moral law meaningless, nor does Christian obedience become the basis of justification. Instead, the believer's relationship to God's law is transformed through the work of Christ.

This classic is particularly valuable for readers seeking to understand questions such as the place of the law in the Christian life, the difference between legalism and biblical obedience, justification and sanctification, and how genuine Christian freedom should produce a life devoted to God.

With its strong biblical and theological emphasis, The True Bounds of Christian Freedom remains a valuable resource for pastors, theological students, Bible teachers, readers of Reformed theology and anyone studying Puritan Christianity.
