Scholarly but accessible, it offers an account of Bavinck's life and work in its historical context, resisting the temptation to co-opt him to, or interpret him via, the concerns of later theological parties and conflicts. The picture that emerges here is neither that of a reactionary conservative nor that of a man divided against himself, as others have claimed, but that of a churchman navigating the waters of modernity with the tools of a deep and devout theological tradition.

Using fresh archival sources, Eglinton provides new insights into the man, the churchman, and the thinker who was, alongside Abraham Kuyper, the most important figure in the revival of Dutch Calvinism in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Especially illuminating is the additional material on Herman's father, Jan Bavinck; the young Herman; Herman's wife, Johanna Schippers-Bavinck; and the legacy of their daughter and grandsons, all noteworthy on their own. Through careful historical research Eglinton places Bavinck in his broader intellectual and spiritual context as a modern person and effectively challenges some of the oft-repeated myths about him and his secession Christian Reformed community.

And such was his intention. Commenting on the fact that ‘none of the distinguished ministers of that period, except William Tennent, senior reached the age of seventy; and some of the most able and successful among them did not even arrive at the age of forty’, he writes: ‘These men may be said to have lived fast. They did much for their Lord in a short time. Being burning as well as shining lights, they were themselves consumed while they gave light to others.

Looking at the ongoing theme of the Book Fund and the ministries it spawned, I thought, 'What an example of practical vision and persevering execution this lady was!' Her independent usefulness in writing prompted the surmise, 'This could serve as an example for many a Christian woman in sharing the riches of biblical knowledge, deep fellowship with Christ, and edifying admonition. And men too, for that matter.' The church planting venture and her part in the restoration of the Tabernacle inspired the conviction, 'That is just right. We should never till the day we die cease working for the glory of God and the extension of the kingdom of Christ.' The universal lament following the death of this steel shadow sealed the conclusion in my heart, 'In a life matured by grace, she would not have been this person without Charles; and he would not have achieved such stature and received such love and respect without her; and, in fact, all of us need our mates, our friends, our churches, our trials, our triumphs, and the constant awareness of the goodness and wisdom of God to become what we should here and to prepare us for what we will be hereafter.'\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e—TOM NETTLES\u003c\/b\u003e, retired and serving as Senior Professor of Historical Theology  at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary; author of \u003ci\u003eLiving by Revealed Truth: The Life and Pastoral Theology of Charles Haddon Spurgeon\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Moody Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46237036347556,"sku":"978-0-8024-2284-2","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/3452\/4580\/files\/9780802422842.jpg?v=1726702572"},{"product_id":"revival-and-revivalism","title":"Revival and Revivalism","description":"\u003ch3\u003e Description\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarrying careful historical research to popular and relevant presentation,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eRevival \u0026amp; Revivalism\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003etraces the spiritually epoch-making events of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries through the eyes of those who lived at their centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFundamental to the book’s thesis is a rejection of the frequent identification of ‘revival’ with ‘revivalism’.

From his rural Welsh background to St Bartholomew’s Hospital (where at the age of 23 he was Chief Clinical Assistant to Sir Thomas Horder, the King’s Physician), then, suddenly at 27, to a struggling Calvinistic Methodist Church in Aberavon, South Wales, he appears successively as schoolboy, dairyman’s assistant, political enthusiast, debater, doctor, and finally Christian preacher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome regarded his change of career as romantic, others as foolish.

While some saw him as ‘the modern Moody’, and others as ‘the last of the Calvanistic preachers’, Iain H.

At all vital points Iain Murray, the authorised biographer, is able to give his subjects own understanding of what happened. But neither public ministry nor controversy dominate the story. There is much on Martyn Lloyd-Jones’ personal life. The foremost impression left is of the overruling of divine providence and of the spiritual grace which shown in him as a Christian. Though in the eyes of the other Christians he was ‘full of faith and of the Holy Spirit’, yet in his own eyes he was, ‘ nothing but an old sinner saved by the grace of God’.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Banner Of Truth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46240076333220,"sku":"9780851517292","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/3452\/4580\/files\/7292-01-416x520.jpg?v=1726779751"},{"product_id":"when-christians-disagree-lessons-from-the-fractured-relationship-of-john-owen-and-richard-baxter-cooper","title":"When Christians Disagree: Lessons from the Fractured Relationship of John Owen and Richard Baxter (Cooper)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwo Oppositional Figures in Church History Shed Light on Division in the Church Today\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur current culture seems to be increasingly divided on countless issues, including those affecting the church.

Ryle has only to be heard once to be remembered. His 84 years (1816–1900) included remarkable contrasts—the promise of a fortune, then the poverty of a bankrupt; a Suffolk country pastor, then bishop of the leading seaport of the British Empire. But there was a still greater change—from the successful youth at Eton and Oxford, who did not pray or read his Bible till he was 21, to become a Christian ‘bold as a lion for the truth of God’s Word and his Gospel’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough one of the most widely read evangelical authors of the nineteenth century, Ryle’s writings lost influence after his death.

Research on his life was accomplished by able authors, and from a new wealth of material Iain Murray has put together a compelling biography. Ryle believed in definite doctrine, in a message which does not adjust to the times, in revival, and in the living Christ.

No doubt he had a love for the people. He was certainly burdened for them and had compassion on their souls, knowing that without Christ they were certain to go to hell. As important as compassion is for those who do not know God, I suggest this will not sustain a missionary zeal, whether it be for missionaries serving on the field or for Christians in western churches who pray and support various missionaries. Something more is needed…Only a zeal for the true and living God to receive his due, to receive the glory and commitment in a local church.’ — ALLEN M.

Born into a Christian family near Dumfries, Scotland in 1824, Paton’s early years were marked by a struggle against poverty. He was self-educated, and the training ground for his life’s work was the slums of Glasgow where he laboured with success as a city missionary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith ‘the wail of the perishing heathen in the South Seas’ continually sounding in his ears, he prepared himself to serve overseas and was ordained as a missionary to the New Hebrides in 1858. This group of thirty mountainous islands, so named by Captain Cook, with its unhealthy climate, was then inhabited by savages and cannibals. The first attempt to introduce Christianity to them resulted in John Williams and James Harris being clubbed to death within a few minutes of landing in 1839. The difficulties that confronted Paton were accentuated by the sudden death of his wife and child within months of their arrival.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst the savagery and the superstition, despite the trials and tragedies, Paton persevered and witnessed the triumph of the gospel in two of these South Seas islands. His life is almost without parallel in missionary annals and his account of it is moving and gripping.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Banner of Truth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50944448430244,"sku":"9781800404502","price":26.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/3452\/4580\/files\/9781800404502.jpg?v=1745628087"},{"product_id":"margaret-paton-letters-from-the-south-seas","title":"Margaret Paton: Letters from the South Seas","description":"\u003ch4\u003eBook Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this companion volume to the missionary classic\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e,\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cem\u003eJohn G.
