Being and Belief

Theology

“Douglas Vickers has set forth in Being and Belief the beauty and wonder, as well as the depth and breadth, of the richness of the Christian confession. He has displayed the glories of God's nature and the wonder of his salvation. . . . Those who espouse the gospel of Jesus Christ have nothing to be ashamed of when standing before the antagonist of the gospel. We have a message of truth to proclaim, one of practical relevance for the Christian, and an effective apologetic before the world. . . . In Being and Belief, this expression of 'the faith that was once delivered to the saints' will enable you, if you are a Christian, to be better 'prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you' (1 Peter 3:15). I commend it to you.”

Belief and Evangelism

Evangelism & Missions

“In Belief and Evangelism Douglas Vickers carries on the great service that reformers have rendered to the church of Jesus Christ since its earliest days. The maxim, semper reformanda (‘always reforming’) has been the call for this needful ministry since the days of the Reformation. Vickers has applied this work to the content and proclamation of the gospel through which God brings salvation to his people. . . . What is so helpful and valuable about this work is his inculcating a full range of arguments for the gospel, including the biblical basis for knowing (epistemology) and being (ontology), even as he calls upon the historic testimony of sound minds and noble souls of the past to strengthen his case. I highly commend this work for your benefit and for the strengthening of the church of Jesus Christ.”

The Divine Purchase

Theology

“It is Vickers' knowledge of the Holy Scriptures, enriched by his familiarity with historical and systematic theology, through which he has produced this condensed but content-rich exposition of a most wonderful subject. . . . [Y]ou have in your hands a primer of a Christian world view, which is a logical, cohesive, systematic, and thoroughly biblical unfolding revelation of God's work in history. . . . This book warrants wide distribution.”
