Like a well-steeped cup of tea, these devotionals—drawing on Thomas Boston’s commentary on the timeless Westminster Shorter Catechism—infuse the day with Boston’s theological brilliance and pastoral warmth, brewing a rich, Christ-centered journey of faith for individuals, families, and churches. "The Scottish Presbyterians of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries--saturated as they were in the doctrine and piety of their Covenanter forefathers--were staunch allies of the English Puritan tradition, and proved, over the course of history, to be more stalwart in their defense and proclamation of the Westminster Standards than even the Puritans of Old and New England. Thomas Boston was no exception. A central figure in the Marrow Controversy, he defended Christian assurance and the free offer of the gospel with a passion. Combining rich biblical doctrine and warm, experiential piety, Dr. Chun Tse provides a taste of Boston's commentaries and sermons on the Westminster Shorter Catechism that is ideal for personal devotions, small group studies, and Sunday school lessons. Here is a treasure trove of Reformed catechesis, repackaged most delightfully for a fresh church audience. Enjoy your 'teatime' with Thomas Boston!" --Joel R. Beeke, Chancellor, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, Grand Rapids, Michigan "Chun Tse has done the church a blessed favor by making the beautiful theology of Thomas Boston easily accessible to contemporary audiences through clear, profound daily readings based on all 107 questions and answers in the Westminster Shorter Catechism. By combining the best of Boston's catechetical instruction with Bible texts, application questions, and prayer prompts, Dr. Tse provides doctrinal insight for the Christian mind and spiritual refreshment for the believer's soul." --Philip Ryken, President, Wheaton College, Wheaton, Illinois "This volume feeds the soul with the theological and pastoral insights of Thomas Boston, in a format which is accessible to all. A voice from the past speaks again for the present believer, and it is as powerful now as it was for his original flock. Dr. Tse is to be thanked for this labor of love and his commitment to the arresting idea of taking the most appropriate tea available in the company of Thomas Boston." --Alison Jack, Professor of Bible and Literature, School of Divinity, University of Edinburgh "Over the years I have tried to read for myself, and recommend for others, mini systematic theologies to grasp a comprehensive view of the Christian faith. And now I have just found my new favorite: Tea with Thomas Boston . It is not because I love tea. In fact, I do not drink tea or coffee. (Sorry, Dr. Tse!) Rather, this book has become my new recommended mini systematic theology because of Thomas Boston, a pastor-theologian I have come truly to appreciate in recent years. Thomas Boston is one of those theologians who gives you the whole Christ in the whole of Scripture, with memorable illustrations (see his 'covenant chariots' sent from heaven to earth to take us to heaven), and in pastorally applicable ways. The Westminster Shorter Catechism provides one of the most clear, concise, and comprehensive summaries of the Christian faith; and now, thanks to the efforts of Chun Tse, we have a most able teacher to guide us through it--the venerable Thomas Boston. So, sit back and, with a cup of tea in hand (if so inclined), drink in the riches of the Christian faith." --Jonathan Gibson, Professor of Biblical and Systematic Theology, Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia "The Scottish Presbyterians of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries--saturated as they were in the doctrine and piety of their Covenanter forefathers--were staunch allies of the English Puritan tradition, and proved, over the course of history, to be more stalwart in their defense and proclamation of the Westminster Standards than even the Puritans of Old and New England.
