A Body of Divinity, Vol. 4 (of 4) by Thomas Ridgley
"A Body of Divinity, Vol. 4" by Thomas Ridgley is a theological work written in the early 19th century. This volume forms part of a larger exploration of Christian doctrines, specifically focused on the explanation and defense of the Assembly's Larger Catechism. It delves into various commandments, offering detailed discussions on moral and ethical principles grounded in Christian theology. The opening of this volume presents a structured approach to discussing the Seventh
Commandment, which addresses issues of chastity and the sins associated with sexual immorality. Ridgley outlines the duties required by this commandment, emphasizing the importance of self-control, the avoidance of temptations, and the promotion of a wholesome understanding of relationships. He also addresses the various sins forbidden, such as adultery and fornication, providing a deep analysis of how these relate to broader moral principles within a Christian context. This foundational portion sets the stage for a broader theological inquiry into the nature of sin and the Christian moral life as developed in the subsequent chapters.
