Can you do me a favor before I answer your question?
I apologize in advance if my skepticism is apparent.
I am used to threads on the BB that have hidden agendas.
A seemingly innocuous question is asked, but there is hard and fast agenda behind it.
Do you have a reason for asking about Boettner's book, or is just mere curiosity?
Well, that one caught me off guard.
I have no agendas.
The only agenda I have is people who demean and insult others that have no theological insight to offer.
I always have an open mind to the other side.
The reason I asked the question is that I am about half way through the book.
There is nothing else to it.
If you have seen me in a bad mood or post, it is because of one particular poster that fits the above description.
I have no tolerance of such people.
'nuff said.
Forgive me if it seemed like I was judging your motives.
Because my theological distinctives are not popular with many on here, I am used to traps.
So, let me answer your question.
Girolamo Zanchi wrote a wonderful work called, "The Doctrine of Absolute Predestination Stated and Asserted".
I believe the book is out of print, although you may be able to find it online.
Whereas Boettner writes from altitude, Zanchi writes in the weeds.
I know you can get Covenant Theology: From Adam to Christ on Amazon. Covenant Theology is a central part of Reformed Theology, so the book is a must read for those who want to round out their knowledge on the matter.
I read Dr. Boettner's book at least 20 years ago.
It had a significant influence on my thinking.
If my memory serves, I found it on a book table at a yard sale.
Still have it.
Another good book on the subject is By His Grace and For His Glory, written by Dr. Tom Nettles, professor at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.
