A Rule And A Riddle, Or, An Everlasting Task For Blind Watchmen And Old Women: In A Letter To A Friend

By William Huntington

Book Overview

A riddle, a rule, and a scathing warning to the supposed guardians of the church. The questions still burn today. In this bracing christian theological treatise, Georgian era nonconformist preacher William Huntington writes to a friend with the fire that made him a marked voice within 18th century England Christianity. First issued as an 18th century religious pamphlet, A Rule And A Riddle turns over the calvinist doctrine of grace with relentless care, exploring predestination and election teaching alongside the danger of trusting in outward religion alone. Huntington exposes hollow piety in the blind watchmen of his day, offers a pointed critique of religious legalism, and presses home the sheer gratuity of divine mercy. Compact yet intense, it stands among the puritan and reformed writings most prized by those who value robust doctrine, especially for reformed baptist readers and others drawn to reformed theology classic edition insights. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Issued here as a careful reformed theology classic edition, it serves both for historical theology study and for thoughtful personal reading, sitting naturally alongside other William Huntington collected works and key puritan and reformed writings. Whether approached by pastors, students, or the casually curious, it offers an accessible doorway into the fervent, uncompromising convictions of an earlier age and a distinctive voice within the broader Reformed Baptist and evangelical tradition.
