520 _a"A Body of Divinity, Vol. 2 (of 4)" by Thomas Ridgley is a theological work written in the early 19th century. This volume serves as an exposition of Christian doctrines based on the Assembly's Larger Catechism, tackling topics such as creation, the nature of angels, providence, and man's fall and recovery. Ridgley's detailed explanations aim to clarify and defend the principles of the Christian faith for the readers. The opening of this volume begins with a discussion of the work of creation, specifically how God executed His decrees by bringing the world into being. Ridgley emphasizes that creation occurred in the beginning and was accomplished by God's sovereign word, emphasizing His power and intention to glorify Himself through creation. He outlines the distinct phases of creation across six days, explaining the significance of each stage. The text also critiques various philosophical stances regarding the eternity of matter and concludes with an affirmation of the divine goodness reflected in creation, setting the stage for further discussions on angels, providence, and the essence of humanity.
