Theology
“In our current historical moment, rife as it is with digital noise, doctrinal shallowness, and irreverent worship, some professing Christians have moved away from the biblical faith in search of ostensibly soul-satisfying alternatives. Turning to denominations like Roman Catholicism or Eastern Orthodoxy, many crave the stillness, theological intricacy, and spiritual gravitas that are promised by those traditions but that, when weighed in the balances, are found wanting. Matthew Bingham returns to the old paths by examining the sound doctrine and experiential piety of the Reformed tradition, a faith whose theologians of previous centuries—whether the English Puritans, the Dutch Nadere Reformatie divines, or the Old Princeton theologians—were masters of the craft of vibrant spiritual formation. Bingham examines how the Reformed tradition promotes spiritual growth through the disciplines of Scripture reading, meditation, and prayer, as well as through self-examination, worship, and Christian fellowship. This is a very helpful exposition and affirmation of Reformed experiential piety.”
A Legacy of Preaching, Volume One—Apostles to the Revivalists
Preaching & Worship
“Preach the word.” This book introduces some of the most influential preachers from the first through the eighteenth centuries and offers fascinating studies of how they responded to Paul’s mandate with great diversity of doctrine and methodology.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“The ministry of the Word is an intersection of heaven and earth, for God places the treasures of his glory in jars of clay. Sadly, churches often expect heaven on earth from their ministers. In this much-needed book, Josh Taylor draws from a wealth of research to offer seven practical ways to support preachers in the work of ministry ‘that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you’ (Heb 13:17).”
Theology
Foreword
“Puritan theologian Stephen Charnock is renowned for his profound exposition of theology proper: The Existence and Attributes of God. However, few have plumbed the depths of Charnock’s doctrine of the imago Dei and its renewal in fallen mankind. Frank Bartoe’s penetrating and erudite study is a welcome addition to the growing body of scholarly literature on Reformed orthodox thought.”
Fiction
“Imagine a catechism to teach the basic doctrines of the Christian faith, an apologetic to defend the faith to skeptics, and a fantasy novel—all in one book. Well, you don’t have to imagine, for that is what Gregory Graybill has written. At the center of Among the Vesper Spires is a lively debate between an angel and an agnostic suddenly required to grapple with the Way, the Truth, and the Life.”
History & Biography
“Studying John Owen’s life and theology is like visiting a vast food buffet—delicious but overwhelming, resulting in satisfaction but also a sense that one missed quite a lot. Crawford Gribben serves up a sampler plate with an engaging blend of biography and doctrine flavored with the pervasive sauce of Owen’s view of godliness and spiced with Gribben’s own interpretation of Owen’s story. This book is a helpful introduction to one of the greatest theologians our world has known and a healthy enticement to feed on Owen’s writings for a lifetime.”
Theology
“Chun Tse presents us with a highly creative and thought-provoking approach to assurance, informed by careful study of the Holy Scriptures and reflection on the Reformed tradition. One need not agree with all his proposals in order to be enriched by his scholarly and fertile thinking. By centering assurance upon adoption in Christ, Tse offers biblical and holistic insights that, by God’s grace, will not only enlighten the mind but also strengthen the soul.”
Evangelism & Missions
“Drawing from the wells of systematic theology, biblical theology, and missions history, as well as hundreds of years of combined experience, a group of pastors, scholars, and missionaries joins forces in this book to provide unique perspectives from the mission field (in places as diverse as India, Italy, and Israel) to answer such questions as these: How should the example of the apostles guide missions? How does systematic theology inform missions? And how should churches support missions? Comprehensive, practical, and fascinating, this is a significant Reformed textbook on missiology. Come with questions and leave with biblical answers.”
Christian Living
“Scholar and pastor Michael Horton has provided us with a well-researched introduction to John Calvin’s doctrine of piety—Calvin’s word for the reverence and love that the gospel produces in all our relationships. One of the most intriguing aspects of Horton’s book is the way he traces the theme of ‘distinction without separation’ through the Christian life, whether with respect to the two natures of Christ, grace and the sacraments, or church and state. This book will enlighten beginners and refresh and challenge veterans in the field.”
Theology
“J. I. Packer has the gift to write theology that is simple without being superficial. Concise Theology puts the food on the bottom shelf where we can reach it, but to our delight, it is not sugar cookies but steak and potatoes for the soul.”
Theology
“It has been said that Reformed theology is covenant theology, for covenant is not merely a doctrine or theme in the Bible but is the principle that structures all its revelation. Robert Rollock said, ‘God speaks nothing to man without the covenant.’ Therefore, it is a delight to see this amazing scholarly collaboration by the faculty of Reformed Theological Seminary, which will surely prove to be a sourcebook for future studies of Reformed covenant theology. Here is a gold mine of biblical and historical studies by trusted pastor-theologians of Christ’s church.”
Theology
“In the Reformed tradition, we confess the dual truths that evil exists and that God is sovereign over it, and yet that God is good and remains blameless of committing evil. Resolving this tension with clarity, conviction, and comprehensiveness, J. P. Macabasco draws deeply from the wells of systematic theology, biblical theology (particularly by considering the histories of Job, Joseph, Judas, and the Lord Jesus), philosophical theology (particularly by examining criminal justice categories), and historical theology—from Augustine and Aquinas to the Puritans and Dutch Further Reformation divines, as well as the Reformation and post-Reformation confessions—to show that divine inculpability is essential to Reformed systematic theology and theodicy. Rich in biblical fidelity, historical-theological reflection, and philosophical insight, this book will leave you standing in awe at the God who is perfectly good, righteous, wise, and sovereign—the Almighty covenant Lord who works even through evil for the glory of his name and the good of his people.”
Five Lies of Our Anti-Christian Age
Christian Living
“The world is always trying to replace Christianity with a spiritual counterfeit that is another religion entirely, as J. Gresham Machen pointed out a century ago. Rosaria Butterfield exposes today’s ideologies that seek to force the church into the mold of sexual perversion and self-deification. And she reminds us in this well-written and easy-to-read book that the answer to these soul-destroying lies remains the same as it always was: knowing and abiding in God’s word so that the truth will set us free. Highly recommended!”

French Calvinism in the Sixteenth Century
History & Biography
“While the Huguenot (or French Reformed) movement largely died out by the eighteenth century because of fierce persecution, the theology of the French Calvinists lives on to this day. Through the life stories of men and women of God who lived their faith, wrote about their faith, and sealed their faith with blood, the authors use the medium of mini biography to show how a group of French laypeople and theologians helped shape early Reformed orthodoxy and piety. Prepare to meet an assortment of fascinating and theologically-astute men and women—such as Gillaume Farel, Marguerite de Navarre, John Calvin, Pierre Viret, and Theodore Beza—who challenge us through their lives, writings, and sufferings to live fully for the glory of the Triune God.”
Christian Living
“Spectacular and exhilarating, but also inaccessible—John Owen can be like that. His view of the triune God is glorious, yet reading Owen is like climbing a mountain. But just as you can take a helicopter tour to see the marvels of a mountain range, so Mike McKinley lifts us up into Owen’s thoughts with easy-to-understand explanations to see the wonders of knowing the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. This book will greatly help many fellowship more fully with God whose friendship, in Christ, is more than a brother’s. Highly recommended for all believers yearning to have a closer and richer life with each of the persons of the Trinity!”
Arts & Literature
“Poetry and music give wings to our thoughts so that by grace our hearts soar to the Lord. Paul Wagenaar, drawing from his meditations on the doctrines of God’s Word, offers us a poem for each week of the year, with suggested tunes for singing and a brief reflection on the meaning of the poem. This book will serve as a helpful boost for personal devotions, family worship, and other gatherings of Christian friends when we long to lift up our souls to our God.”
History & Biography
“Matthew Haste offers a masterful historical introduction to the doctrine and practice of marriage among eighteenth-century Baptists (focusing on John Gill, Anne Dutton, Samuel Stennett, and Andrew Fuller), who inherited a renewed biblical appreciation for the blessed state of matrimony from the Reformers and Puritans. Readers of this well-researched study will find it both informative and inspiring.”
Apologetics
“This stimulating collection of essays presents a robust explanation and defense of Van Til's apologetic for the twenty-first century.”
Theology
“In this well-researched and thought-provoking academic study, Jonathan Watson employs ‘liturgical logic’ to provide an insightful and scholarly analysis of how different church traditions relate baptism, catechism, and Communion to each other.”
