Samuel Bolton was educated at Cambridge, and held several pastorates in London. He was nominated as one of the additional members of the Westminster Assembly of Divines. He later served as master of Christ's College, Cambridge. Even with no ministerial charge of his own, he preached every Lord's day for many years in various pulpits.
Bolton died in 1654 at the age of 48. He was buried in St. Martin's church in London. Though a man of great learning, he said that he "hoped to rise in the day of judgment and appear before God not as a doctor, but as a humble Christian."
Samuel Bolton has 3 works in print at the moment:
The Arraignment of Error, on why God allows errors in His church (Soli Deo Gloria)
The True Bounds of Christian Freedom (Banner of Truth)
"Sin the Greatest Evil," a sermon in The Puritans on Conversion |
