A Sacramental Catechism

John Willison (1680-1750) was distinguished for his devotional writings, particularly those on the sacrament of the Lord's Supper. This book was first published in 1720. The Lord's Supper was then understood theologically as a sacrament of nurture, deeply rooted in the solemn promises of the covenant. Great preparation was taken to prepare oneself for the Lord's Supper, a practice that would take entire weeks. Willison is thorough in assisting young and old alike to prepare, and explains the nature and meaning of the Scriptural teaching regarding proper observance of this sacred event.
