A Treatise on Various Subjects

A Treatise on Various Subjects by John Brine is a classic work of Particular Baptist theology, addressing some of the most important matters of Christian doctrine and spiritual life.

Brine writes on human nature, depravity, regeneration, conversion, sanctification, faith, assurance, growth in grace, spiritual decline, revival, temptation, and communion with God. His concern is both doctrinal and pastoral: to defend the truths of the gospel while awakening professing Christians from lukewarmness and spiritual decay.

Originally written for a time of doctrinal confusion and religious declension, this public domain work remains useful for pastors, serious Bible students, and readers who value historic Reformed Baptist theology. The 1851 editor described it as “a body of Divinity in miniature,” rich with gospel substance and spiritual application.

This edition makes John Brine’s searching and substantial work available again for modern readers.
