THE COVENANT OF GRACE & THE COVENANT OF WORKS
JOHN COLQUHOUN (1748-1827) with a Foreword by Sinclair Ferguson
BOTH TITLES ARE NOW AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A CENTURY
(1) THE COVENANT OF GRACE
"This republication of Colquhoun’s work should be welcomed as a wonderful instrument to recalibrate our theological and spiritual engines. It is well worthy of a place among the books that we “read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest” because it is so Scripture-concentrated, pastorally sensitive, and full of spiritual wisdom. Each of his publications marks him out as a man and minister of unusual gifts. "—From the foreword by Sinclair Ferguson

In the dedication to his book on the covenant of grace, John Colquhoun acknowledged his indebtedness to the following sources:
"It is, however, proper to acknowledge that the Authors, to whom much of the doctrinal part of this Treatise, is indebted for its materials, are, Cloppenburg, Witsius, Turretine, Moor, Erskine, Brown, Hervey, Gib, Muirhead, Gill, and Boston. As to the last judicious Writer, I freely acknowledge, that, so far as he has proceeded, I have followed him so closely, as often to adopt, for the most part his method, and even his illustrations and proofs. Indeed, the substance of the greater part of his Book on the Covenant of Grace, is extracted, and will be found in the following pages; though the sentiments are expressed in a different manner."
(2) THE COVENANT OF WORKS
This is the companion volume to Colquhoun’s great work The Covenant of Grace, published in 2020 by The Northampton Press. In this title the author deals with covenants, imputation, and other subjects necessary to a full understanding of salvation. John Colquhoun was one of Scotland’s greatest preachers and theologians. He is painstaking and thorough in his treatment of this important subject for, as Luther once remarked, “we ought never to preach grace without the law or the law without grace.” We will never understand our great salvation until we realize what we have been saved from.
