Jus Divinum: The Westminster Assembly and the Divine Right of Church Government, John R. de Witt. Naphtali Press, 2010 (1969 rpr.), 274 pp., hardback, 1519/$22.95. Jus Divinum:The Westminster Assembly and the Divine Right of Church Government by J. R. De Witt, Th.D. (Hardcover) - Lulu
Review by Iain H. Murray.
“Students of the seventeenth century, and especially those concerned with the work of the Westminster Assembly, will be glad to know that John de Witt’s groundbreaking doctoral thesis, first published by Kok of Kampen in 1969, is now reprinted in large hardback, 274 pp. It details one of the greatest debates to have taken place since the Reformation on the subject of the church, and how far her government has been appointed by God in Scripture…. The tension of the debates, which we follow in these pages, against the back-drop of Civil War, is very clearly set down, with judicious use of the original documents. To read it is to believe there were ‘giants’ in the land in those days…. Jus Divinum weill remain as a standard work from an author who has heartfelt sympathy for the Puritans, and a deep appreciation of their concern to see Christ honoured in the church.”
This work had become rare and hard to find, and when found one could pay well over $100 for a used copy. We are pleased to make it available in this print on demand hardbound printing available at Lulu.com. Naphtali Press normally does not do photo reprints, but the author wanted to preserve the original hand press printing, which was carefully scanned for this reprint. List price is $45. We are pleased to offer it on sale at $22.95 and are happy to make the work easily available again.
