Our minister, Rev. Stephen Steele, has contributed a historical introduction to the republication of a book by 19th century Reformed Presbyterian Thomas Houston. The book is on the subject of Adoption and has been described by Joel Beeke as ‘unduly neglected’ and superior to all other books on the topic written in the same century.

Originally published in 1872 (and then again in 1876), it has now been republished by Ettrick Press and is available to buy from their website. Stephen completed his MA thesis on Houston in 2009 and has previously contributed an article on him to the Reformed Theological Journal (2010), as well as the chapter about Houston in the 2016 book Preachers of the Covenants.

The new book also has a preface by Rev. Ian Macleod, originally from Scotland but currently ministering in Grand Rapids. You can download a sample of the book here.
