A General Account Of My Life (1908)

By George D Low and Thomas Boston

Book Overview

""A General Account Of My Life"" is an autobiography written by Thomas Boston, a Scottish theologian and pastor who lived in the 17th and 18th centuries. The book was first published in 1908, long after Boston's death, and provides a detailed account of his life, from his childhood in Duns, Scotland, to his education at the University of Edinburgh, to his years as a pastor in various churches throughout Scotland. Boston's writing is deeply personal and introspective, as he reflects on his own spiritual journey and the challenges he faced as a minister in a time of great religious upheaval. He discusses his struggles with doubt and temptation, as well as his efforts to spread the gospel and minister to his congregations. Throughout the book, Boston also provides insights into the religious and political climate of Scotland during his lifetime, including the debates between the Presbyterian and Episcopal churches, the Jacobite rebellions, and the rise of the Enlightenment. Overall, ""A General Account Of My Life"" offers a fascinating glimpse into the life and thought of an important figure in Scottish religious history, and provides valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities faced by pastors and theologians during this period of great change and upheaval.Minister At Simprin, 1699-1707 And At Ettrick, 1707-1732.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
