The miracle of assurance

Although I reckon he was mistaken, I was interested to learn that William Cunningham thought that the Reformers' assurance of salvation was a special grace given to them to witness for Christ in a specially difficult situation and not normative for Christians.

William Cunningham, 'The Reformers and the Doctrine of Assurance' in The Reformers and the Reformation (Banner of Truth, 1862, repr. 1967) p113 cited in Maclean, Lord's Supper, p163
