The Everlasting Gospel of Justification By Cotton Mather & Richard Mather
Edited by Don Kistler
Hardcover • 128 pages • Smyth sewn • Acid-free paper
Justification by faith alone is more than a doctrine—it is the gospel’s very heartbeat. In every generation, it has come under attack, and in every generation, God has raised up faithful voices to defend it.
First published in 1652 and 1700, these sermons by Richard Mather and his grandson Cotton Mather call the church to stand firm on the truth that sinners are declared righteous by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. This modern edition is carefully edited and bound to endure the test of time.

About the Author
Cotton Mather, son of Increase Mather and grandson of both Richard Mather and John Cotton, was the towering figure of New England Puritanism in its final chapter. A prodigious scholar and committed pastor, he entered Harvard at age 12 and published more than 400 works in his lifetime.
Mather preached beside his father at Boston’s North Church. Through his famous work, Manuductio ad Ministerium, he championed pastoral care for the poor and equipped future ministers. His sermons, essays, and histories combined Puritan piety with an eye for science and reform that still speaks today.

Quote from the book
...though you lived like men in heaven upon earth, and though you spoke with the tongues of angels, shed rivers of tears for your sins, poured out prayers that should pierce the very clouds more than seven times a day, and give all your estates unto the poor, and your very bodies unto the fire—yea, though you were prophets of God and could remove mountains—yet if you go to make any of this your justifying righteousness I earnestly testify unto you that the holy God will abhor you after all, and at last make you the abhorring of all flesh. (p. 62-63)
