"The Reformation swept across Europe with a God-glorifying gospel of grace. Now the doctrine of grace cherished and proclaimed by the Reformers is under renewed assault from an unexpected placeâthe evangelical church itself. With the help of several theologians, Gary L. W. Johnson and Guy P. Waters trace the background and development of two seemingly disparate movements that have surfaced within the contemporary church-the New ..."
"If an integral connection exists between the Abrahamic and the Mosaic
covenants, and if the Abrahamic covenant ... They fulfilled their high calling as
mouthpieces of God across the centuries as applicatory heralds of the Mosaic
covenant."
"Guy P. Waters Dane C. Ortlund, Miles V. Van Pelt. “At the time of the Reformation,
more ink was spilled on the doctrine and practice of the Lord's Supper than on
almost any other topic. Most of the debates have yet to be resolved, so what is a ..."

"And to the one who does not work but trusts him who justifies the ungodly, his
faith is counted [logizetai] as righteousness” (Rom. 4:4–5). Paul is contrasting two
approaches to righteousness. The one is secured by works and the other by faith.
The one is based on merit (“his due”) and the other on grace (“as a gift”). So far,
Gundry might agree since he asserts that Abraham's righteousness “consists of
faith even though faith is n ..."

"There are many fine books available on the offices of church leadership. Few, if any, address for a contemporary audience the biblical foundations of the government of the church. But this should be a priority for us, because God emphasizes the government of his church throughout Scripture. Why should we be church members? How do church officers reflect Jesus' reign over us? Where do the church's responsibilities begin and end? Where do ..."
"Have evangelicals misunderstood Paul? Was the Reformation doctrine of justification a mistake? The New Perspective on Paul has serious implications for that pivotal doctrine of the gospel. Guy Waters lays out the theological, historical, and cultural antecedents to the New Perspective and examines its leading proponents. He offers a trenchant critique of their work and warns us of problems that the New Perspective may pose within the Ch ..."
""But let a man examine himself" is a phrase that we may have heard of from 1 Corinthians 11 where man is to ask himself if he is right and meet to come and partake in the Lord's supper. But another question that is often asked is at what age is it okay for a child to partake in the Lord's supper. This book takes a constructive look at the doctrine of paedo-communion as defined: "as the admittance of a covenant child to the Lord's Supper ..."
"This book forms an overview of the biblical teaching on covenant as well as the practical significance of covenant for the Christian life. A host of twenty-seven scholars show how covenant is not only clearly taught from Scripture, but also that it lays the foundation for other key doctrines of salvation. Engaging in biblical, systematic, and historical theology, each chapter presents covenant theology not as a theological abstract impo ..."
"“When he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, ‘This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.’” ―1 Corinthians 11:24 The Lord’s Supper is more than a church tradition or a complex doctrinal controversy―it has practical importance to our daily lives. When Jesus instituted the Supper, it was meant to strengthen the faith of his followers by reminding them of his promises. God has always made promises to his people th ..."
"Much of what we know about theology--about justification, adoption, sanctification, and glorification--comes directly from the writings of the Apostle Paul. If we removed Paul's writings from Scripture, our understanding of these truths would be greatly impoverished. Paul's inspired writings and the story of his life continue to be a precious gift to the church. Dr. Guy Prentiss Waters leads us on a doctrinally enriching and spiritually ..."

"The debate about biological origins continues to be hotly contested within the Christian church. Prominent organizations such as Biologos (USA) and Faraday Institute (UK) insist that Christians must yield to an unassailable scientific consensus in favor of contemporary evolutionary theory and modify traditional biblical ideas about the creation of life accordingly. They promote a view known as "theistic evolution" or "evolutionary creat ..."
