Christian's Reasonable Service, The - Volume 2: The Church and Salvation
First published in 1700,Ā The Christianās Reasonable ServiceĀ (De Redelijke Godsdienst) ran through twenty Dutch editions in the eighteenth century alone! The title is derived from Romans 12:1, āI beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is yourĀ reasonable service.ā It expresses what God requires from man, and particularly from the Christian, that he serve Him in Spirit and in truthāintelligently, rationally, and in harmony with and response to Godās revelation of Himself, His Word.
With a decidedly Puritan flavor and representing Reformed experiential religion at its best, Wilhelmus Ć Brakel systematically moves through the major doctrines of the Bible in hopes of seeing the minds of Godās people renewed for the purpose of promoting godliness. Throughout his work, but particularly in the practical application of each doctrine, Ć Brakel strives unceasingly to exalt the name of Jesus as the name that the Father has given above every other nameāthere being no other name given under heaven among men whereby we must be saved (Acts 4:12).Ā
