Minister on the Spot

This is a penetrating, yet sympathetic and constructive inquiry into the gut predicaments of being a minister. It is a kind of meditation for those brave enough to step away from their own tactical problems and reflect unguardedly on their style, identity, self-image-that is, on why they are called to be ministers and on how they are fulfilling that call. Few books written for ministers are …

Protestant Christianity, Interpreted Through Its Development

This book is an essay in the interpretation of Protestant Christianity. It has grown out of conviction that the nature and meaning of Protestantism can be seen only in the light of historical development. We have, therefore, deliberately abandoned many of the usual patterns for interpreting Protestant life and thought. Survey descriptions of the various Protestant denominations almost invariabl…

If there is "nothing new under the sun," perhaps the main task now facing the Western church is not to reinvent or be relevant, but to remember.

Justification

Martin Luther contended that the church stands or falls on the doctrine of justification. With challenges to the Reformer's view coming from several directions today, R. C. Sproul finds the appearance of Francis Turretin's Justification "a welcome relief." Is the ground of our justification "the righteousness of Christ in us or the righteousness of Christ for us?" In the introduction, Sproul fi…

Calvin and the Biblical Languages

The church today is built on the Reformation's linguistic heritage yet is in danger of losing that strong foundation. Many seminaries no longer require that their students learn the Biblical languages for their divinity degrees - some do not even teach them! Yet these are the basic tools of any study of the Bible, and if we don't teach the Bible, then what is the church teaching? If we need enc…
