The Basics of Biblical Hebrew Workbook has just gotten better. In order to keep students from becoming discouraged, especially in the beginning stages, the authors have decided to give more vocabulary aid, so students do not have to spend all their time trying to look up words in a dictionary. Many of...
| Author | C.F.W. Walther |
| ISBN | 0570032482 |
On the back cover, it says it is about "Theology & Doctrine/Doctrines". But this is not any stuffy theology by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, it is at least as much about pastoral care as it is about theology. If you want a highly original treatment on any theological theme, look elsewhere....
| Author | John W. Kleinig |
| ISBN | 0758613040 |
Admittedly, Kleinig’s academic writing style makes Grace Upon Grace somewhat hard to wade through (don’t try to read it in bed), but the insight that can be gleaned from it is profound. This book shows how true spirituality is all about Christ working for us, not us working for Him. Our relationship...
| Author | Jonathan Fisk |
| ISBN | 0758631014 |
This book examines seven of the most common spiritual traditions and how they use speculation, mysticism, and moralism to break Christianity. Author Jonathan Fisk calls them the seven “counterfeit Christian rules that every Christian ought to break as often as possible,” because they are seven...

While there is increasing interest in the "theology of the cross," few people have specific knowledge of what makes it different from other kinds of theology. In On Being a Theologian of the Cross, Gerhard O. Forde provides an introduction to this theological perspective through an analysis of Luther's...
Luther the Reformer: The Story of the Man and His Career
| Author | James M. Kittelson |
| ISBN | 0800635973 |
We have so many reasons to thank God for the gift of Martin Luther, as I was reminded in reading Kittelson's wonderful biography: his book is very compelling yet accessible to the everyday reader. You don't have to be a theologian to appreciate the weight of Luther's life as a reformer who followed the...
The Shorter Catechism with scripture proofs
| Author | Westminster Assembly |
| ISBN | 0851512658 |
This is the first time that I've read through the Shorter Catechism straight through. Though I am a Reformed Baptist and not a Presbyterian, there is much to admire about the Westminster Confession. The men who crafted these questions and answers based on Biblical truth were so precise in their language...
Given for You: Reclaiming Calvin's Doctrine of the Lord's Supper
Is the Lord's Supper, a time of communion with our Lord and with his people, a high point in our lives? What thought do we give to biblical teaching on this sacrament? In Given for You Keith Mathison seeks to encourage prayerful reflection and discussion about this now neglected sacrament. He introduces,...

This is an excellent resource for anyone looking for "more" to life. I read it in college, and again shortly after my second child was born.
Child #2 was an eater, and wanted to nurse multiple times through the night, and found myself falling asleep while nursing. One night I woke up, holding him,...
| Author | John Murray |
| ISBN | 0875523439 |
Very rarely do I read a book that convinces me to take the opposite viewpoint of what it advocates. This one did.
As far as the general meaning and significance of baptism goes, Murray is spot on. His section of how baptism in Romans 6 pictures union with Christ is excellent, and his discussion of church...
Based on the theme of spiritual regeneration, The Hammer of God reads like a good detective story, immersing the reader in the unfolding events that present a spiritual drama of life and death, of despair and hope, of upheaval and peace, of sin and grace. Faith comes down to a matter of relying either on...
| Author | Gilbert Meilaender |
| ISBN | 0802829090 |
In the face of rapid advances in medical research and treatment, bioethics has become a serious social concern. Originally published in 1996 and later chosen by World magazine as one of the top 100 books of the twentieth century, Gilbert Meilaender's Bioethics covers a wide range of pressing bioethical...
Before Jerusalem Fell: Dating the Book of Revelation
| Author | Kenneth L. Gentry Jr. |
| ISBN | 0915815346 |
The key question concerning the book of Revelation is "when was the book written?" If Ken Gentry is correct and the date is prior to 70AD then virtually all other prophecy pundits are wrong. This is why they won't address Ken's monumental work. Before Jerusalem Fell is a scholarly and thorough study of...

| ISBN | 0300103131 |
Written by one of the world's greatest authorities on Martin Luther, this is the definitive biography of the central figure of the Protestant Reformation.

This narrative description and analysis of the European Reformations of the sixteenth century begins with a chapter on the history and historiography of Reformation scholarship and concludes with an extended reflection on the Reformations' religious, social, and cultural legacies. The storyline...
| Author | Chad Bird |
| ISBN | 0801075661 |
Most of us are regular people who have good days and bad days. Our lives are radically ordinary and unexciting. That means they're the kind of lives God gets excited about. While the world worships beauty and power and wealth, God hides his glory in the simple, the mundane, the foolish, working in unawesome...

| ISBN | 0830815007 |
Many Christians today long to become reacquainted with their ancient ancestors in the faith. They see a deeper worship and devotion in the prayers and hymns of the early church. And they believe that the writings of the early church can shed new light on their understanding of Scripture. But where and...
| Author | John Calvin |
| ISBN | 0801023904 |
When I purchased this book, I thought that it contained a direct debate between Cardinal Sadoleto and John Calvin via letters sent back and forth between the two men. This is not the case. The first letter is by Sadoleto to the citizens of Geneva, imploring them to return to Mother Church. The second letter...
New Testament Greek for Beginners
This book is intended primarily for learners who are beginning the study of the Greek Testament either without any previous acquaintance with the Greek language or with an acquaintance so imperfect that a renewed course of elementary instruction is needed. This revision, over seventy-five years...
