Brief description:
Alexander Comrie (1706-1774) was born in Perth, Scotland. As a youth, he was catechized by Ebenezer and Ralph Erskine and was greatly influenced by the writings of Thomas Boston. He moved to the Netherlands as a young man to work but eventually studied at the universities of Groningen and Leiden, where he was awarded a doctorate in philosophy. He developed into an able preacher and served the parish of Woubrugge, where he was pastor for thirty-eight years.
Review Quotes:
"Alexander Comrie's Distinctive Marks of Saving Faith aims to direct souls in both a pastoral and discriminatory way to end in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. Faith is a justifying grace that unites a sinner with Him. In fourteen treatises or sermons, Comrie yearns to lead sinners to a believing embrace of Christ and to see God's people live by true faith--a grace that rests and feeds on His promises as well as sanctifies and sustains the believer."
