Calvin and the Sabbath

The Controversy of Applying the Fourth Commandment

Richard Gaffin

£13.00

Calvin?s views on the Sabbath are the subject of claim and counterclaim. This book brings together two controversial themes: Calvin?s ideas on Church/State relationships and on the Sabbath. Richard Gaffin traces the development of the beliefs of Calvin through his comments and writings and also helps us understand the relationship between the Ten Commandments and the New Testament. Calvin?s conclusions have a much wider implication than just what you do on Sunday! You might also be surprised by Gaffin?s analysis!

God's People in the Wilderness

The Church in Hebrews

O. Palmer Robertson

"The appearance of this volume is most welcome. Its substance in an earlier form helped considerably in shaping my own overall understanding of Hebrews and appreciation of the centrality there of the church as the new covenant wilderness community. I commend it as a worthy addition to the libraries of pastors, teachers and other serious students of Scripture."

Galatians

A Mentor Commentary

David McWilliams

"Yet another Galatians commentary? Here is one that makes a most welcome contribution in addressing a wide range of readers - pastors and teachers in the church, as well as many others interested in growing in their understanding of Paul's overall teaching and particularly of this important letter. Written against the background and reflecting a knowledgeable grasp of the scholarly debates, past and present, the author largely steers clear of those debates and remains focused throughout on tracing and expounding the apostle's argument for its own sake and with an eye to preaching. Having had the opportunity of reading this clear and gracefully written book during its production, I commend it most highly. Certainly it is one pastors ought to consider adding to theirs libraries."

Last Things First

Unlocking Genesis with the Christ of Eschatology

J. V. Fesko

The eschatological is an older strand in revelation than the soteric (Geerhardus Vos). Last Things First explores this insight, fundamental for a sound overall understanding of Scripture, with valuable insights of its own. With an extensive awareness of and reference to relevant literature, it addresses in a stimulating fashion issues that bear on such basic biblical themes as God's purposes in creation, the relationship between creation and redemption, and the work of Christ. While there is room to disagree at points, anyone interested in the biblical basis for covenant theology will read Fesko with great profit.
