Anne Dutton Speaks Today David H J Gay

Anne Dutton transgressed 18th-century culture when she, as a woman, had the 'audacity' to publish theological works, largely in the form of letters, but many in her day found great profit in what she wrote. More important, even though there are big differences between the 18th and 21st centuries, since the eternal, spiritual verities concerning God, man and eternity are the same, her work has abiding value. Though she did not get everything right, David Gay is convinced Dutton had 'the root of the matter' in her, and he is persuaded that believers today badly need to hear what she spelled out, and so he has published this small work to let her speak today in order that believers might weigh her words in the light of Scripture. The question is: Do we have ears to hear, a heart to love, and a will to obey what God teaches in his word?
