In Puritan Reformed Spirituality Joel Beeke provides us with a first-class tour of some of the great sites of Reformed theology and spirituality. Here we meet John Calvin, reformer extraordinaire; then we encounter the learned Dr William Ames and the insightful Anthony Burgess. Soon we have travelled north to meet the Scotsmen John Brown of Haddington, the great Thomas Boston and the remarkable brothers, Ebenezer and Ralph Erskine. Predictably, but happily our guide brigs us to The Netherlands and to the time of the Nadere Reformatie, before taking us back to the New World in the company of the remarkable Theodorus Jacobus Freylinghuysen. But the climax of this tour is not reached until our trusted guide has brought us to the family roots from which all these theologians and pastors came - to the strong foundations of Christian living in justification by faith and sanctification in life, nourished by the power of biblical preaching.

Puritan Reformed Spirituality: A Practical Biblical Study from Reformed and Puritan Heritage

Reformation Heritage Books

This collection of sermons from the book of Genesis, deals with an awesome topic that has throughout time been repeatedly misunderstood, unfairly ignored, but most often shamefully denied and taught against. Calvin will cause the reader of these sermons to rightly understand this profound doctrine, to come away with the Biblical truth of the Sovereignty of the Creator, and to understand that God is God and needs not man to excuse or explain away the power of the Potter over the clay as he makes to dishonor the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction. Commenting on the volume, Dr. Richard A. Muller of Calvin Theological Seminary states that this "is an edition that respects the historical document and conveys the full style of the original translators but also makes the text accessible to the modern reader." We learn from Calvin that, "It is a thing that much troubleth men's spirits, when they see the estate of the world so confused, that the most part do manifestly despite God, and it seemeth that they have conspired with the devil, to the end to give over themselves to all mischief. For this is thought a thing greatly against reason, that GOD should create men to destroy them. Wherefore then is it, that he suffereth the greatest number so to fall? If it be said that this ought to be imputed not to God, but to those that of their own accord throw themselves so to perdition, yet this maketh no whit to the appeasing of those troubles, that we may conceive: For could not God remedy it? Why is it then that he doeth it not? They that allege a simple permission, that God layeth the bridle upon every mans neck, and that every one guideth himself according to his own free will: yet they cannot well undo this knot: to wit, why God hath not created men of another sort: and wherefore he hath suffered that they should be so weak, yea and inclined to evil and corruption: and seeing that he knew their infirmity, wherefore is it, that he doth not help them and provide them some remedy? This therefore is to entangle ourselves in great torments and troubles." This book contains a Foreword by The Rev. David J. Engelsma, Professor of Dogmatics and Old Testament Studies at the Theological School of the Protestant Reformed Churches. There is also an Index of Scriptures referred to by Calvin, and an extensive Subject Index.

The Lectio Continua Expository Commentary on the New Testament is not meant to be an academic or highly technical series. There are many helpful exegetical commentaries written for that purpose. Rather, the aim is to provide lectio continua sermons which clearly and faithfully communicate the context, meaning, gravity and application of God's inerrant Word. Each volume of expositions aspires to be redemptive-historical, covenantal, Reformed and confessional, trinitarian, person-and-work-of-Christ-centered, and teeming with practical application. Therefore, the series will be a profound blessing to every Christian believer who longs to "grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ" (II Peter 3:18).

Galatians: Expository Commentary on the New Testament - The Lectio Continua

John V. Fesko

Why the 17:18 series? In Deuteronomy 17, Moses is leaving final instructions concerning the future of Israel. As a prophet of God, Moses foretells of when Israel will place a king over the nation (v. 14). In verse 18, the king is commanded to not simply acquire a copy of the law (the entire book of Deuteronomy) from the scroll publishing house, but to hand write his own copy of the law. Thirty-four hundred years later, educators are discovering that students that physically write out their notes by hand have a much greater retention rate than simply hearing or visually reading the information. Apparently, God knew this to be true of the kings of Israel also. From such understanding came the conception of this series of books. How to Use These Books Each book is organized so that you can write out your very own copy of Scripture. You will be writing the Bible text only on the right hand page of the book. This should make for easier writing and also allows ample space on the left page to write your own notes and comments. From time to time a question or word will be lightly printed on the left page; these questions are to aid in further study, but should not interfere with your own notes and comments.

The Puritans were Christians guided by Scripture, not the dictates of man. When faced with a choice between submitting to man and obeying God, they chose to follow the will of Christ. Today, we regard these men as heroes for remaining true to their consciences held captive by the Word of God. Jonathan Edwards was a prolific writer and respected preacher and theologian. His works have impacted both Christian and secular communities in the centuries since his death. A Just and Righteous God highlights Edwards' thoughts on how God shows mercy to his chosen and wrath to the wicked. This collection of sermons contains thirteen previously unpublished works by Edwards on God's just and righteous nature toward man.

Ussher, James

Two missing elements in Christian families today are parents catechizing their children and the absence of family worship as a normal part of the daily routine. Puritan George Hamond shows the biblical pattern for family worship with examples from the Old Testament--Abraham, Job, and Joshua--and then that of Christ and Cornelius from the New Testament. This is an important book for those who want to establish the centrality of worship in their homes.

Hamond, George

The material reprinted in this volume contains nearly all of Stoddard's remaining unpublished sermons, including seven excellent messages for the "benefit of the gospel to those who are wounded in spirit," as well as ten individual sermons that cover such subjects as the cleansing power of Christ's blood, the gospel as a means of conversion, false hopes of salvation, and the trial of assurance.Author  Solomon Stoddard graduated from Harvard in 1662 and was its first librarian. In 1672 he became the second pastor of the church at Northampton, succeeding Eleazer Mather. He shepherded that church until his death in 1729.
