Synopsis

Thomas Boston's Human Nature in Its Fourfold State is often regarded as one of Christian literature's best discourses on human nature, tracing it from its perfect beginnings in Eden, through the fall of man, and on to its final state in eternity. According to Boston, the four states of man are the state of innocence, in which God made him; the state of nature, as he has unmade himself; the state of grace, as created in Jesus Christ; and the eternal state, as made by the Judge of All Things. Boston's remarkable insight makes this book a must-listen for Christians the world over.

One of the most significant works I have read on man in his pre-fallen state, fallen state, regenerate state, and glorified state. Boston is magnificent.......more

Goodreads review by Brian on December 31, 2016

The fourfold state of the title is man in paradise, as fallen, as regenerate, and in the future state. In examining man in these four states, Boston provides a full systematic theology. The tone, however, is not academic (though the content is rigorous) but hortatory.......more

Goodreads review by Josh on June 28, 2013

Quite good, though quite 18th century as well. Boston wasn't easy reading, but I'm glad I worked through this one.......more
