About

Description

John Frame's Theology of Lordship series explores theology as the application of God's Word to our lives in all situations. Frame speaks to the whole of the Christian life: God's relationship to us, faith, apologetics, theology and philosophy, science and ethics, sexuality, Christ and culture, God's personal communication to us in his Word, and more. 

These new editions feature a new interior look and new indexes. Content has not been changed.

This four-volume set includes

The Doctrine of the Knowledge of God (1987): John Frame explores our knowledge of God as central to all understanding, connecting theology with life through a practical, Scripture-based approach to what we know, why we believe, and how we learn.

 The Doctrine of God (2002): In this award-winning volume, theologian John Frame examines the attributes and names of God in connection with a full spectrum of relevant theological and ethical truths.

The Doctrine of the Christian Life (2008): Following the progression of the Ten Commandments, Frame offers a Christian method for coming to wise, God-honoring decisions that are rooted in the precepts of Scripture.

The Doctrine of the Word of God (2010): God communicates to us in richly personal terms. Discussing God’s Word in modern theology, In his magnum opus, Frame explores how it comes to us as his controlling power, meaningful authority, and personal presence.

Endorsements: 

“'Magisterial?' Yes. 'Close to indispensable'? Yes again. Would John Calvin, Jonathan Edwards, Abraham Kuyper, and B.B. Warfield, Reformed theology's fabulous four (in my book anyway), enthuse about this volume as I have done? Pretty much, I think.”

J. I. Packer

“We all need to read John Frame. At different times he provokes, informs, irritates, illuminates, and excites. He is—thankfully!—not easily categorized, and therefore he must be wrestled with and not simply embraced or dismissed. This is the case here. Frame approaches issues in a fresh and stimulating way, anchored in classic Reformed orthodoxy, but often asking unexpected questions or giving surprising analysis and reaction. Supporters and opponents should read this volume, as it proves to be a truly significant addition to literature on the Word of God.”

Kelly M. Kapic

“This wide-ranging work on ethics reflects all the characteristics we have come to expect from John Frame: passion for clarity and lucid explanations; boldness in addressing relevant and controversial topics; refusal to capitulate to ideologies, whether Left or Right; commitment to the highest standards of scholarship; and, most importantly, zealous fidelity to Scripture as the infallible source of ethical norms. Frame’s theological program, nourished in an irenic spirit, is a treasure to the church of Jesus Christ.”

P. Andrew Sandlin

“Without a doubt, John Frame is one of the greatest teachers of ethics in the world. His magnificent work on the Christian life fully endorses the authority of Scripture and practically addresses the need to consider the situations and people involved in ethical decisions. I strongly recommend this book as a text for serious students of ethics and for every layperson who wants to know how to make decisions pleasing to God.”

Richard L. Pratt Jr.

“Frame stands in the great Reformed tradition of Calvin and Charnock, Hodge and Bavinck, yet in his treatment of the doctrine of God he surpasses them all with an amazing breadth of knowledge and depth of understanding. In every section Frame brings fresh insight to old doctrines.”

Wayne Grudem

“Biblical and pastoral, profound and clear. . . . Seeks fresh ways to address open theism, process theology, feminism, and other contemporary issues in light of the triune God.”

Dennis E. Johnson

“One of the most comprehensive, insightful, biblically grounded, and edifying treatments of Christian epistemology ever written. Although published nearly forty years ago, it remains a book that I regularly consult and recommend to my students. If you don’t already own a copy, you will not regret adding this newly typeset edition to your library and feasting on its content.”
