The Westminster Confession in the 21st Century volume 2
Ligon Duncan has done an excellent service in his gathering and support of numerous articles, and books in answer to the revisionists trying to divide Calvin and the Calvinists. His latest consortium is the 4 volume series on The Westminster Confession in the 21st Century. While this is broader than just answering the revisionists, its chapters on Ursinus, Oxford and the Westminster Divines, ...

Let Us Hold Fast To The Confession Of Our Faith
It occurred to me that the seminal thoughts of the Westminster divines have a progeny of note. Dating from the 1600's, this is the basis of the Reformed faith. That they are referred to as the Westminster divines, aptly describes their contribution to the church. One contributor to this awe-inspiring first volume, Michael S Horton, embarks on an illuminating essay of warning dating from the ...

P & R Publishing, 2003

Fantastic resource for understanding biblical aspects of worship
This book is a very well-written and thoughtful examination of the various aspects of worship, written from a Reformed perspective. Before you begin, it's important to know that this book does not define "worship" narrowly to mean "the singing time of the service," but the entire Lord's day service. Each chapter touches on a different topic, beginning with the very foundational question: Does ...

Christmas Essays from Trusted Authors
Come Thou Long-Expected Jesus, is a collection of short essays on Christmas topics from writers that Nancy Guthrie respects--"essays that reflect a high view of Scripture; and that put the incarnation in the context of God's unfolding plan of redemption."

6 Essays, One Message
Speaking in concert, the authors appeal to their contemporaries to avoid getting caught in the cultural rejection of biblical truth so prevalent in our post-modern neighborhoods and metropolitan Babels. Chapter 1, David F Wells: One Among Many 'On the grounds that they have God 'within' them, 60% of Americans say that they do not need the Church. In life's crises, 56% say that they look for ...

Excellent!
Women's Ministry in the Local Church, authored by J. Ligon Duncan and Susan Hunt, is a practical book that seeks to provide guidance on how and why a church can and should have an effective women's ministry. It is a timely book, arriving at a point when the church is in need of this type of biblical guidance. The role of women in the church has been an area of great dispute of late, though ...

Reviewing "The Genesis Debate"
Critique: Each of the three pairs of authors have contributed something vital to the Genesis 1 discussion for which they should be commended and thanked for their time and effort. Duncan and Hall have rightly reminded the reader of the dangers that conformity to the present age presents to every generation. Their appeal to past interpreters further reminds us of the dangers of "novel" thinking ...

Should We Leave Our Churches?: A Biblical Response to Harold Camping

P & R Publishing, 2004

does not address the teaching with scripture
Scriptural support is lacking in the rebuttal. Many seemingly practical reasons given but the wisdom of men is foolishness to God.Typical seminary response lacking scriptural substance.
