Summary

"A Body of Divinity, Vol. 2 (of 4)" by Thomas Ridgley is a theological exploration of Christian beliefs during the 1800's. This book explains the Assembly's Larger Catechism, covering important ideas like how the world was created, what angels are like, how God takes care of the world, and how people fell from grace and were saved. Ridgley goes into great detail to make the main ideas of Christianity clear and to argue why they are true. Starting with the story of creation, he explains that God made the world by just speaking it into existence. He stresses that this shows God's strength and that He wanted to show off his greatness through creating the world. Ridgley describes each of the six days of creation and what makes each one important. He also argues against philosophies that say the world has always existed, instead of being created. Finally, the book confirms that creation shows how good God is, setting the stage for discussions about angels, God's help, and what it means to be human.
