Book excerpt: Volume 4 of Dutton's writings includes her early work The New Birth(1734); her unique pseudonymous work Treatise on Justification (1778); her work on grace A Discourse concerning God's Action of Adoption (1737); A Discourse on the Inheritance of the Adopted Sons of God (1748); and her theological letters on the marks of a child of God (1761) which offer advice in holiness from the end of her literary career. Anne Dutton's many writings are significant because they impacted evan-gelical revival in England (and in the colonies). Particularly significant is her voice as a Baptist writer responding to revival in England and in America. She addressed the issues of free grace, election, justification, and the new birth in Christ.
