John Gill (1697-1771) was the most prominent baptist theologian of the 18th century. He was born at Kettering, Northamptonshire, received the degree of Doctor of Divinity from the University of Aberdeen, and would go on to succeed another prominent baptist theologian (Benjamin Keach) as pastor of the Strict Baptist church in Horsleydown which later became the Metropolitan Tabernacle and was pastored by Charles Spurgeon.
In this little book, Gill ably defends the eternal Sonship of Christ, setting out the historic orthodox doctrine of eternal generation against its detractors.
