Stephen J. Wellum
A Basic Guide to Biblical Theology
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Knowing how the Bible fits together is foundational to the right interpretation and application of Scripture and to all theological formulation. Although the subject is vast, Alan Thompson has provided a wonderful, faithful, and helpful overview of the basic story and message of Scripture. This book is a must-read for those who want to know how to think God’s thoughts after him and want to understand well the whole counsel of God. I cannot recommend this book enough; it will help both beginners and seasoned Christians learn how to understand and marvel at the glory of our triune God’s redemptive plan centered in our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Apologetics
“For anyone interested in faithfully and consistently bringing the intellectual challenge of the Gospel to our day, this book is for you.”
Theology
“Given that union with Christ is central to how Christ's work becomes ours, and given the diverse interpretations of it in theology, we need to return anew to Scripture to grasp properly this glorious truth. In this groundbreaking work, Clive Bowsher does precisely this. He offers careful biblical and theological reasoning that clarifies what union with Christ is, and as such we are indebted to him. This work is essential reading for understanding and glorying in what it means to be united to Christ and thus to be in covenant relationship with our triune Creator, Redeemer, and Lord.”
Theology
“The doctrine of Scripture serves as the foundational doctrine of Christian theology. Apart from God’s triune self-disclosure in Scripture, which results in a fully authoritative and reliable Word, everything we say about God, ourselves, and the world is ultimately left unwarranted. For this reason, every generation needs a robust and faithful exposition and defense of Scripture as God’s Word written in light of current challenges and debates. From a seasoned theologian who leaves no stone unturned, Light in a Dark Place wonderfully meets this need. In this volume, John Feinberg discusses the most significant points of the doctrine of Scripture and tackles some of the toughest issues the doctrine faces today with precision and care. This book will serve as a superb resource for today’s church, and it demands a careful reading and embrace of its faithful elucidation of Scripture as God’s most holy Word. I highly commend this work.”
“Strangely, the subject of death and dying is often neglected in contemporary evangelicalism, especially a biblical and systematic theology of death. However, Toby Jennings now fills that gap with this important book on the subject. Not everyone will agree with all of his conclusions but this book should not be ignored. It is a comprehensive and theological treatment of a biblical view of death and more than that, it is about the glorious hope of resurrection found in the work of our triumphant Redeemer. I hope this book receives a wide reading and it leads us to a greater joy and confidence in our triune God in the face of Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Theology
“When we avoid discussing difficult biblical and theological subjects like predestination, we not only neglect what Scripture clearly teaches but also impoverish our view of God and therefore rob ourselves of the truth, comfort, and confidence that the doctrine is meant to give. For this reason, I am thrilled to recommend this book. Andy Naselli faithfully expounds the Bible’s teaching on predestination—and in such a way that we are led to glory in our triune God of sovereign grace and challenged to apply biblical truth to our lives in all of its breadth and depth. If you want to know what Scripture teaches about predestination, how to answer the common objections to it, and how to apply its truth to your life, then this book is for you.”
Reformed Systematic Theology, Volume 4
Theology
“The last volume of Reformed Systematic Theology has been eagerly awaited, and it does not disappoint. Grounded in Scripture, rooted in the Reformation tradition, theologically faithful and wise, and practically relevant, this volume will not only instruct about the church and last things but also lead the reader into greater worship of our triune God of grace, a love for the church, and a hope grounded in the truths of the gospel. This volume also models how to arbitrate differences among Christians regarding the nature of the church and baptism while demonstrating unity in the faith once delivered to the saints. I highly recommend this and the other volumes in this series for sound biblical and theological formulation at its best, something the church desperately needs in our generation.”
Resurrection, Scripture, and Reformed Apologetics
Apologetics
“Debate has raged within evangelicalism regarding proper apologetic methodology with little progress. However, in this very helpful work, West breaks the impasse and navigates current apologetic approaches within Christian theology in a highly readable way. He then argues cogently for a presuppositional method that incorporates the best of the other approaches. In a short space, West not only introduces us to contemporary apologetic polemics, he also points the way forward. I highly recommend this work.”
The Christological Case for Compatibilism
Theology
“Normally, a defense of compatiblism is discussed under divine providence, but Randy Johnson argues for its defense in Christology. His defense is biblical, theological, and convincing. I highly recommend this book. It is an excellent contribution to the ongoing discussion.”
Theology
“Given the current ‘crisis of authority’ all around us, the church desperately needs clear and faithful biblical and theological expositions of what Scripture is, along with a renewed commitment to God’s most holy word. In this very accessible treatment of the nature of Scripture, Mark Thompson has almost achieved the unthinkable: he has described, explained, and defended all the crucial points needed for the church to understand and grasp what Scripture is for today. What is so helpful in his discussion is how he rightly grounds the doctrine of Scripture first in the doctrine of God, namely, the triune God who speaks. By doing so, he helps the church understand the Christ-centered nature of Scripture and why Scripture is utterly necessary, authoritative, and true. I cannot think of another book on Scripture that is so accessible to all Christians, faithful in its exposition, and wise in its conclusions. I highly recommend it!”
The Royal Priesthood and the Glory of God
Theology
“Capturing the theme of royal priesthood from Adam to Christ and then applying it to the church is a crucial and marvelous way of summarizing God’s glorious plan of redemption centered in our Lord Jesus Christ. Understanding how this theme is revealed through the unfolding biblical covenants allows us to grasp how all of God’s plan is fulfilled in Christ Jesus as our royal great high priest but also how, in Christ, the church is restored to her vocation of being God’s royal priesthood. I highly recommend David Schrock’s discussion of this magnificent truth.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“It is not only our society that is confused about what true love is and its proper relationship to authority, but also, sadly, the church. After perceptively diagnosing the condition of our culture, Jonathan Leeman offers a biblically and theologically faithful antidote to the distorted views of love and authority that we too often have embraced. Rightly grounded first in our triune God’s holy love before moving to how love and authority function in the church, this book is a must-read if God’s people are to recapture the beauty and glory of how our local churches ought to reflect God’s love and authority before a watching world. My prayer and hope is that this book will be not only carefully read but also put into practice in our daily lives for the health of the church and the glory of our triune God.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Ideas have consequences, and this is certainly true of critical theory. Critical theory is postmodern thought applied, with disastrous consequences for our society. In this helpful primer on critical theory, Brad Green does a masterful job of explaining what it is and responding to it by the truth of the Christian worldview. By engaging this false view of our day in terms of the creation–fall–redemption–new creation framework of Scripture, this book is much needed so that the church can respond to the issues of our day with biblical and theological precision and life-giving truth. Highly recommended.”
