Grace Alone Salvation As A Gift Of God
$21.99Add to cartHistorians and theologians alike have long recognized that at the heart of the sixteenth-century Protestant Reformation were the five solas: sola scriptura, solus Christus, sola gratia, sola fide, and soli Deo gloria. These five solas do not merely summarize what the Reformation was all about but have served to distinguish Protestantism ever since. They set Protestants apart in a unique way as those who place ultimate and final authority in the Scriptures, acknowledge the work of Christ alone as sufficient for redemption, recognize that salvation is by grace alone through faith alone, and seek to not only give God all of the glory but to do all things vocationally for his glory.
2017 will mark the 500th anniversary of the Reformation. And yet, even in the twenty-first century we need the Reformation more than ever. As James Montgomery Boice said not long ago, while the Puritans sought to carry on the Reformation, today “we barely have one to carry on, and many have even forgotten what that great spiritual revolution was all about.” Therefore, we “need to go back and start again at the very beginning. We need another Reformation.”[1] In short, it is crucial not only to remember what the solas of the Reformation were all about, but also to apply these solas in a fresh way in light of many contemporary challenges.

Trustworthiness Of God
$31.50Add to cartWhile few Christian thinkers would question the trustworthiness of God, this topic is key for understanding the divine nature and God’s revelation to the world. The Trustworthiness of God offers a comprehensive look at the theme of God’s faithfulness, exploring the relationship between the doctrines of God and of Scripture from every possible perspective.
Written by a team of international scholars, the book begins by surveying what key biblical texts say about God’s faithfulness. Other chapters look to Jesus as a model of God’s trustworthiness, examine Paul’s writing on the subject, consider the thoughts of the church fathers, and place all of this evidence within the framework of systematic theology. Broad in scope and irenic in design, The Trustworthiness of God will benefit teachers, students, and
general readers alike. -
Protestant Scholasticism : Essays In Reassessment
$39.99Add to cartTraditionally Protestant theology, between Luther’s early reforming career and the dawn of the Enlightenment, has been seen in terms of decline and fall into the wastelands of rationalism and scholastic speculation. Editors Trueman and Clark challenge this perception in this transatlantic collection of eighteen essays covering: Luther and Calvin; Early Reformed Orthodoxy; the British Connection; From High Orthodoxy to Enlightenment; and the Rise of Lutheran Orthodoxy.
