An Introduction to Reformed Apologetics

Theology

“J. V. Fesko's An Introduction to Reformed Apologetics is a breath of fresh air in the world of Reformed apologetics. After almost a century of captivity to a novel method of apologetics that produced far more interest in talking about itself than in talking to lost and dying sinners, Reformed Christians are gradually becoming aware that the old biblical paths of traditional Reformed apologetics are far superior. Traditional Reformed apologetics, as Fesko explains in this book, is grounded in love of God and love of neighbor, utilizes both of God's books (nature and Scripture), and knows that its goal of turning sinners from idols to Christ depends on the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit.”

Reforming Apologetics

Theology

“As one committed to classical Reformed theology and a classical approach to apologetics, and as one who has often been told that the two are inherently antithetical, I am encouraged that the resurgence of research into early Protestant orthodoxy is leading Reformed theologians to reexamine the conventional wisdom on these issues. While remaining sympathetic to Van Til and other like-minded theologians, Fesko has raised questions that cannot be ignored. Whatever one’s stance on natural revelation, natural theology, or apologetics, it is hard to believe that anyone would deny that this is an important book. It may prove to be a game changer. I hope it will prove to be a mind changer.”

The Cathedral of Theology

Theology

“In The Cathedral of Theology, J. V. Fesko displays the time-tested method of laying a solid foundation for systematic theology. This outstanding book covers all the traditional topics but in a way that engages contemporary problems. It also explores rarely traveled avenues of exploration. For me, as someone who regularly teaches a class on theological prolegomena at the undergraduate level, it is a joy to read such a learned and helpful volume.”

The Lord's Supper as the Sign and Meal of the New Covenant

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“At the time of the Reformation, more ink was spilled on the doctrine and practice of the Lord’s Supper than on almost any other topic. Most of the debates have yet to be resolved, so what is a Christian to do to gain a better understanding of this sacrament? This concise book by Guy Waters is a helpful place to start. Waters places his discussion of the Supper squarely in the context of the Bible’s teaching about covenants, providing a particularly helpful introduction to the nature of covenant meals.”

The Mystical Presence

Theology

“"Karl Barth's commentary on Romans was not the first bomb to fall on the playground of theologians. John Williamson Nevin's The Mystical Presence had a similar effect on the nineteenth-century American church. His appeal for a return to the sacramental views of the sixteenth-century Reformed confessions was a voice in the wilderness in an era of decidedly low-church sympathies. This wonderful new edition clearly reveals the relevance of Nevin's controversial book in both his day and ours.”
