A Golden Chain

OR The Description of Theology, Containing the Order of the Causes of Salvation and Damnation, according to God's Word

About this book

Written by William Perkins (1558-1602), A Golden Chainis one of the best treatments of the doctrines of election and reprobation ever written. Due to its controversial nature, it is one of the few significant and influential works written by a Puritan which has not been widely republished as a standalone version. In this version ofA Golden Chain, transcribed from the 1597 edition of Perkins' work, it has been lightly abridged and modernised with simplified language and new structural diagrams. This release will also include a brief introduction to both Perkins' life and work written by Perkins scholar, Matthew Payne.
