In the 1700s, the Church of Scotland told its clergy not to recommend a certain book that was making the rounds — the reason being it was offering Christ to sinners indiscriminately, with no fine print. Listen along as Jeffrey Perry from the Marrowcast joins the show to talk about the ongoing legacy of The Marrow of Modern Divinity, the law-gospel distinction, and the Pharisee that lurks in us all.
Jeffrey lives in North Carolina with his wife Lindsay and their four children, where he serves as pastor of Gospelway Baptist Church in China Grove. He co-hosts the Marrowcast with John Meeks, where you can also find his sermons and writing. You can follow him on Facebook and Instagram.
