First edition of Jackson’s treatise on the nature of God’s essence and attributes, reflecting Jackson's theological evolution from initially Puritan leanings to a stance more aligned with Arminianism, influenced by figures such as Bishop Neile and Archbishop Laud. This work is part of Jackson's broader project, his “Commentaries on the Apostles' Creed”, which he intended to span twelve books, nine of which were published during his lifetime.
