Wat is het dat eene zondaar zaligmaakt? zamenspraak tusschen een kappersknecht, Methodisten predikant en den heer Easterman met een antwoord op die gewichtige vraag

This work presents a lively 18th‑century theological debate set as a conversation between three unlikely voices—a humble barber’s apprentice, a Methodist preacher, and the landowner Mr. Easterman. Together they grapple with the weighty question of what truly makes a sinner, probing the nature of guilt, repentance, and divine mercy. Their exchange blends plain‑spoken anecdotes with scriptural references, offering a window onto everyday religious concerns of the time.

The translator’s foreword reveals his own journey from fervent but shallow zeal to a deeper appreciation of sovereign grace. He emphasizes that true knowledge of God cannot be reduced to intellectual assent alone, warning against self‑deception and the pitfalls of antinomian accusations. His purpose is both to correct his earlier statements and to illuminate a doctrine he believes restores humility.

Listeners will hear a richly layered dialogue that retains its historic spelling while remaining accessible through careful editing. The book invites reflection on how grace operates in the life of believers and challenges modern assumptions about faith and works. It is an engaging encounter for anyone interested in classic Christian thought.
