Skepp, John (?-1721)

Divine Energy or the Efficacious Operations of the Spirit of God upon the Soul of Man. (1815)


Not much is known about John Skepp other than what is contained in the above-mentioned work. The title page of this work shows the following as the complete title of this work: Divine Energy: or the Efficacious Operations of the Spirit of God upon the Soul of Man, in His Effectual Calling and Conversion, Stated, Proved, and Vindicated. Wherein the real Weakness and Insufficiency of Moral Suasion, without the Superaddition of the exceeding Greatness of God's Power, for Faith and Conversion to God, are fully evinced, being an antidote against the Pelagian Error.


God's Ordinance, the Saint's Privilege, Discovered and Proved in Two Treatises. (1646)
