Christian faith and Christian liberty are alike precious, and how careful we should be to maintain them!' Samuel Bolton's work on Christian freedom provides readers with an opportunity to enrich themselves with nuggets to which the words of Genesis might well be applied: 'The gold of that land is good.' The theme of Christian liberty, and the Christian's relationship to the law of God, continues to be a subject of lively discussion and debate in many circles. Some would remove everything which would restrict, circumscribe, or confine freedom. But in The True Bounds of Christian Freedom, Bolton ably exposes the fallacies of this position. The thrust of the work is state fully in the dedication: 'It contains chiefly some friendly discussion of some opinions which have been maintained against the law of God, and in it I have endeavoured to uphold the law so as to show that it does not take from the liberties of grace, and to establish grace so that the law is not made void, and so that believers are not set free from any duty they owe to God or man.' Readers will find in this book a clear, scriptural exposition of the place of the law in the life of a Christian, and an encouragement to consider Christian Liberty as a 'precious jewel.
