Theology
“There has been a gap among evangelicals in writing about the wonderful and beautiful truth of glorification. This excellent book fills that gap. Grounding this doctrine in the divine glory of God, Cole keeps his finger in the text of Scripture and his eye on the edification of the believer. For believers, sanctification is glorification begun, while glorification is sanctification complete. In this exceptional book, we are reminded that God’s promises for glorification are sure and certain—the Lord who began a good work in you will bring it to completion in God’s glorious presence!”
Theology
“This book represents pastoral theology at its best! First, it is biblical and theological. Its exhaustive focus on biblical texts makes it unique from all the others and invaluable to own. Second, this book is pastoral, showing how what we believe about God will have a profound effect on our lives. This is a book I will consult regularly, and recommend often!”
Theology
“Historically, the Free Church tradition has had a weak ecclesiology. Fields's excellent work is a breath of fresh ecclesial air. Fields biblically grounds and theologically guides our thinking about the church—each local church manifests the fullness of the gospel, meaning it lacks nothing, and it also evidences a gospel-compelled catholicity, as it reveals part of the now of the kingdom, a partial embodiment of Jesus' high priestly prayer, an outpost of heaven. This is an exceptional work, one I heartily recommend, written by an outstanding pastor-theologian who lives out this truth as a pastor in a local church. We all, especially those in the Free Church tradition, are in his debt.”
Work, Money & Leadership
“What does it mean to be called to God? What about being called by God? . . . Is ‘call’ even the right word to use as we attempt to answer these questions? Richard Kronk gives us a tour de force as he answers these questions biblically, historically, and pastorally. And as he clears away the fog of misunderstanding, he calls us back to a renewed commitment to make disciples among all nations for the glory of God.”
Science & Faith
“What does it mean to be a faithful reader of the Bible? How are we to understand the creation account and the early chapters of Genesis? How does God’s revelation in the Word illuminate his created world? How do Christian faith and science relate? These are critical questions facing Christians today. C. John Collins has been at the forefront of giving faithful answers to these questions for years, and with this groundbreaking book, Reading Genesis Well, he remains there. Collins gives attention to the text of Scripture and how we are best to read and understand God’s revealed, authoritative account of creation. Situating himself in Genesis 1–11, Collins adeptly navigates through this labyrinth by addressing vital issues that impact reading the biblical text well, by focusing on history, poetry, science, and, ultimately, truth. Grounded in the inerrant and authoritative Scriptures, affirming the literal sense along with literary sensitivities, Collins builds on the conventional tools of exegesis by including the literary and linguistic insights of C. S. Lewis. This is a brilliant move to use Lewis as a conversation partner and glean from his literary insights as a gateway to a better understanding of Genesis, along with hermeneutical methods that shed light on reading other texts of Scripture as well. This is a must-read for pastors, biblical scholars, theologians, and scientists. And once you have read the book, teach the material to others. Superbly done!”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“This is not just a how-to book on leadership. Rather, grounded in the Scriptures, it has a practical and pastoral focus, with learning taking place in community with others. I am elated this book is now available. Take up, read, apply, and see the leadership culture of the church be transformed.”
Theology
“There is nothing more important than getting the right response to the question ‘Who do you say that Jesus is?’ In The Person of Christ, Stephen Wellum answers the question by grounding the response in the Scriptures, by guiding readers through historical theology, and by summarizing these teachings and truths theologically. As a tour de force on the person of Christ and the doctrine of Christology, this work also serves as a model for how one moves from the Bible to theology to life.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“While being sensitive to the original historical context of the Psalms as the prayer and songbook of Israel, Johnston is keenly aware that there is a Christocentric end to which the Psalms point and a Son in whom they find fulfillment, who is Israel’s promised Messiah. Because of this, Johnston recognizes all the Psalms are messianic, and understood in this way means the Psalms are also the Christian’s prayer, song, and life book. Reading this commentary results in thanksgiving and worship. Johnston’s excellent commentary is a great addition to the Preaching the Word series. I commend it to you as both an aid to your preaching and as a companion to your devotional reading and praying of the Psalms.”
