‘The greatest theologian of his century.’ — C. H. SPURGEON

Book Description
This Baptist minister and theologian was a truly outstanding man and one of the most attractive personalities in church history. C.H. Spurgeon called Fuller, ‘The greatest theologian of his century,’ while his close friend, William Carey (1761-1834) expressed the thought of many who were personally acquainted with him, when he said, ‘I loved him.’
The dominant theme of Fuller’s Works is ‘the grace of God in the gospel.’ In his last letter to his friend John Ryland, Jr., Fuller testified: ‘I have preached and written much against the abuse of the doctrine of grace, but that doctrine is all my salvation and all my desire. I have no other hope than from salvation by mere sovereign, efficacious grace through the atonement of my Lord and Saviour’.

Joe Connolly –
Andrew Fuller said: “A persuasion of Christ being both able and willing to save all them that come unto God by him, and consequently to save us, if we so apply, is very different, from a persuasion that we are the children of God, and interested in the blessings of the gospel.” It is the “if we so apply” part that this Christian finds troubling: Does my salvation rest on my ‘applying’ to God for it? The Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ tells me that Christ determined to save those whom He loved from all eternity, even though they did not ‘apply’ to Him to do so! We are made willing in the day of His power – we do not make Him willing by ‘applying’. Christ is mighty to save, and He has performed the work for His blood-bought people. Fuller’s theology is inconsistent, and seems to be an apology for the doctrine of particular election and reprobation, as though he were ashamed of these truths.
David J Bissett –
Andrew Fuller was a dynamic theological, writing and pastor/preacher. I have this huge volume (one of the biggest books I own), and every time I read Andrew Fuller I am refreshed. There is a vividness to his style and a passion in his writings. Highly recommended.
Danny Pass –
This collection of works of Andrew Fuller is well worth picking up. I am sure that anyone could find something of help in his works, be it pastoral, practical, doctrinal etc. Whilst I don’t follow along with all of Fullers’s doctrine, particularly in the area of the atonement, I falling more in line with the thinking of Abraham Booth for example, I do still wholeheartedly recommend picking up these works of a very orthodox, pastoral, theologian and fine example of a Christian pastor. Speaking from a Reformed Baptist perspective, I very much appreciate banners selling of these works and would love to see more such as Benjamin Keach, Abraham Booth and William Kiffin to name just a few as there is much help to be found in the lives and writings of these men, just as there is to be found in this wonderful works.
