"Limited atonement—an offense to opponents and an embarrassment to supporters, it is undoubtedly one of the most controversial tenets in the Reformed faith.

"This book is a plea for preachers to "preach the Word." It will encourage pastors to strive to maintain their calling. However, it is not intended just for pastors; it will also be useful in guiding congregations to know what to look for in a pastor and in holding their preachers to this Biblical standard."
"Essays from twenty-two classic and contemporary theologians and Bible teachers re-frame death in a scriptural context of hope in God.For many modern-day Christians, death has become what J. I. Packer terms “the great unmentionable.” This attitude denies not only the reality of the human condition, but also the reality of God’s promises for believers beyond this life. The church needs to think more about death in the light of the gospel. ..."
"Hywel Jones The term “Christian” is still used widely enough to be familiar, but it
has lost much of its distinctive meaning. It is therefore worth recalling that
originally it referred to something quite special. Luke, the sacred historian,
provides an account of the time and place of its first use, which was in Antioch in
Syria around 40–50 A.D. (see Acts 11:26).[1] After the death of Stephen, Jews
who believed in Jesus were driv ..."

"Join the great Reformer John Calvin in seeing the glory of God on display in the world. John Calvin saw this world as God’s theater where his glory is always on display. Just as “day and night pour forth speech,” the universe and history are not silent either; they tell the glory of God. Reflecting on over 500 years of Calvin’s legacy, John Piper and this book’s other contributors invite us to join Calvin in the theater of God. ..."
"The Bible has a way of shocking us. If Americans could still blush, we might blush at the words, “Rejoice in the wife of your youth, a lovely deer, a graceful doe. Let her breasts fill you at all times with delight; be intoxicated always in her love” (Proverbs 5:18-19).But, of course, sin always tries to trash God’s gifts. So we can’t just celebrate sex for what God made it to be; we have to fight what sin turned it into. The contributo ..."
""Useful men are some of the greatest blessings of a people. To have many such is more for a people's happiness than almost anything, unless it be God's own gracious, spiritual presence amongst them; they are precious gifts of heaven." Certainly one of the most useful men in evangelical history was the man who preached those words, pastor and theologian Jonathan Edwards. Commemorating his 300th birthday, general editors John Piper ..."
""Everyone who believes in God at all believes that He knows what you and I are going to do tomorrow." -C. S. Lewis This understanding of God's foreknowledge has united the church for twenty centuries. But advocates of "open theism" are presenting a different vision of God and a different view of the future. The rise of open theism within evangelicalism has raised a host of questions. Was classical theism decisively tainted by Greek phil ..."
