Pink is one of the most comprehensive studies on God’s decrees that are based on scripture alone; Sola Scriptura. Pink begins with a question in which every person needs to answer, and more especially those of the household of faith. “Who is regulating the affairs on this earth today—God or the Devil?” Pink continues with great insight and scripture references concerning God’s sovereignty in Operation, Salvation and Reprobation. He also addresses Human Responsibility, our attitude toward His Sovereignty and reflects on the Difficulties and Objections to this doctrine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn time past, present and future when practical preaching replaces doctrinal exposition of Scripture, an evil malady occurs and mankind reverts back to the lawless, listless and lustful condition whereby man determines what is good and evil; a denial of the Divine Rights of the triune God as expressed in ALL of scripture, starting with Genesis 1:1, “In the beginning, God . . .” This evil malady ceases when the Creator and Sustainer of Life is exalted to and revered as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords!

As you go forward remember, “For by Him were all things created, that are in Heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him: and He is before all things, and by Him all things consist” (Col. 1:16–17).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGod’s Sovereignty is the very basis of Christian thinking, a presupposition in which every area of thought and life begin and end with God.

In its polemic, the Disputation offers a detailed refutation of Roman Catholic argumentation, specifically that of Cardinal Bellarmine, against Protestant assumptions concerning the integrity and authority of Scripture. In its positive statements, the Disputation provides one of the clearest and most precise explanations of the Protestant understanding of the interpretation of Scripture. Although written as a defense of the Reformed faith of the English church, the Disputation was respected and used as a source of doctrinal argument not only by the English but also by the Continental Reformed and the Lutherans, being drawn on extensively by the eminent Lutheran theologian Johann Gerhard.”—Richard A.

Arrowsmith’s work stands out among writings on spiritual warfare for its depth of research, its insistence that our warfare is chiefly theological, and its attempt to blend polemical and pastoral theology.

The publication of Arrowsmith's magnum opus in English should interest pastors, scholars, and serious Christians who desire to engage in the holy war that really matters.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e—Kevin DeYoung, senior pastor, Christ Covenant Church, Matthews, North Carolina; associate professor of systematic theology, Reformed Theological Seminary (Charlotte)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“John Arrowsmith, Presbyterian theologian and head of Cambridge colleges, was one of those seventeenth-century English theologians whose command of the classics and the church fathers astonished the European world of learning. His writings, many of them studded with references to ancient and modern texts, reached a wide public. David C. Noe has translated Arrowsmith’s guide for the Christian life, which he saw as a battle against the devil, from its original Latin into highly readable English. Chad B.

Or perhaps, more modestly, it is a collection of romantic poetry. No one knows, and no one agrees. But the reader of the Song may wonder, If any of those proposals are right, why is the Song in Scripture? Does the Song have any spiritual message at all? Welcome to the work of James Durham.

In the first part of the book they demonstrate that there is a government of the church established and revealed by God. In the second part of the book they describe that government, explain its benefits to God’s people, and further develop the biblical and theological justifications for presbyterianism.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChris Coldwell’s new edition of this classic work will prove a most welcome addition to the Presbyterian minister’s or even church member’s bookshelf. The entire book was addressed to people who were not yet persuaded regarding the merits of presbyterian church government. It hardly needs to be said that such an audience has only expanded in the Christian world and that many people could benefit from understanding a principled form of church government rather than ones where leaders (or members) make it up as they go along. This critical edition is almost a third longer than earlier abridged versions. It offers David Noe’s translations of Latin material and a thoughtful introduction. The edition also evidences Coldwell’s careful editorial work and successful sleuthing, in some cases solving puzzles that have stumped historians for centuries.

and priest and king, union with Christ, the knowledge of God, eternal life, justification, sanctification, obedience, separation from the world, faith, prayer, perseverance, worship, Christian unity, gospel ministry, and the glory of heaven. All these truths are discussed by this judicious Puritan divine according to the order of the text in John 17.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBurgess rightly regarded John 17 as a mountaintop of divine revelation, “a pearl in the gold” of the Bible. He asserts that the Lord offers this prayer in the presence of His disciples so that those who hear it (and later, those who read it) might be filled with joy. This prayer is especially significant because Jesus utters it the night before His crucifixion, which is the climax of His earthly work. Burgess thus asks his readers, “If the words of a dying man are much to be regarded, how much more of a dying Christ?” In this light, Anthony Burgess expounds John 17 as the prayer of Christ, both as our Mediator—if we are believers—and as the model of a godly man.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOriginally published as \u003cem\u003eCXLV Expository Sermons upon the Whole 17th Chapter of the Gospel according to John: or, Christ’s Prayer before His Passion Explicated, and both Practically and Polemically Improved\u003c\/em\u003e (London: Abraham Miller for Thomas Underhill, 1656).  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEndorsements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“Many people likely are familiar with Anthony Burgess, Westminster divine, contributor to the Westminster Confession of Faith and Larger and Shorter Catechisms, but few know Burgess the preacher.

Burgess’s sermons are a clarion to prayer and greater love for our triune God, all founded on the work of Christ, our Great High Priest.

Christ’s sublime prayer reflects the most spiritual and heavenly doctrines that our feeble minds can begin to grasp. He, as God-man, hours before He lays down His life for His elect people, opens His heart to show us how sublime is His ministry and how sanctifying are the thoughts of His heart as the God-man Redeemer.

This is an important volume that will reward careful study.

At once comprehensive and detailed yet at the same time extraordinarily lucid and succinct, it is a richly biblical, pastorally astute summary of the key doctrines of the Christian faith. In short compass, it lays bare the golden thread of mature wisdom and learning that is woven through Zanchi’s vast and remarkable output. Far eclipsing most summaries of the Christian faith, it is replete with insights you are unlikely to have encountered before. O’Banion’s introduction and translation is excellent, and his thorough annotations on Zanchi’s text are hugely informative.
