Defining terms such as revelation, inspiration, and inerrancy, he clears away common misconceptions about them. By addressin ..."
"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 ..."

"He breathed it into existence. He does wonderful things in and by it. But there is hardly a book more assailed, mocked, and assaulted than the Bible. New Testament Professor Guy Prentiss Waters delves into the doctrine of Scripture."
"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 ..."
"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 ..."
"“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 ..."
""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 ..."
"Justification is not a relic of the past - it has direct relevance to us as Christians today. We often struggle with the thought of justification because of human pride; "I can't be that bad" and so justification is often undermined, wrongly presented or just plain ignored. Scripture though, is brutally clear: we have a real problem - the prospect of our lives marred by wrong-doing being laid out before an almighty God who is pure and w ..."

"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 ..."
"Could you explain Justification if asked to? For many of us, the whole concept of justification is as mystifying as a foreign language, but yet Christians down the ages have fought to defend it - seeing it quite rightly as a vital element of how we are saved. But justification is not a relic of the past - it has direct relevance to us as Christians today. We often struggle with the thought of justification because of human pride; "I can ..."
"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 ..."
"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 ..."
"Are the events in Genesis 1-3 symbolic or historical? Author Wayne Grudem dissects 12 major events in the creation narrative and explains how reducing them to mere symbolism undermines the rest of Scripture."
""This book seeks to help Christians recover the importance of the Lord's supper in the Christian life by explaining three purposes of the sacrament in light of God's covenant signs"--"
"This book advances the interpretation of 1 Corinthians by exploring the ways the apostle Paul quoted or “echoed” Jewish scriptures more indirectly in his letter, by metonymy or allusion. Criteria and methods for identifying echoes are brought to the fore, as are questions of the texture of Paul’s theology and his understanding of scripture. Important topics in 1 Corinthians addressed here include Paul’s use of the Law, monotheism, Chris ..."
