Living
for God's Glory: An Introduction to Calvinism
The theological system known as Calvinism
is often caricatured or simply dismissed as a relic of the past. But as
Dr. Joel R. Beeke shows in this comprehensive treatment, Calvinism,
also known as Reformed theology, is "biblical, God-centered, heartfelt,
winsome, and practical." As such, it is uniquely suited to help
Christians fulfill the purpose for which they were created--to live to
the glory of God.
With the gifted help of eight contributors, Dr. Beeke traces the roots
of Calvinism and sets forth its doctrinal distinctives, then explores
how Calvinists live out their beliefs in every sphere of life, from
their private devotions to their service in the church, from their
marriages to their careers, from politics to ethics. Through the
examples of John Calvin himself, the Puritans, and other Calvinists of
the past, this God-exalting belief system emerges as a timeless guide
for Christian living.
With contributions from: Sinclair B. Ferguson, James Grier, Michael A.
G. Haykin, Nelson Kloosterman, Ray Lanning, Robert Oliver, Ray Pennings,
& Derek W. H. Thomas.
What
Is the Reformed Faith?
The Reformed faith is biblical
Christianity in its truest and most consistent form. Many people in
various denominations through study of the Bible and "What is the
Reformed Faith?" by John R. deWitt, have come to believe and understand
the "doctrines of grace".
Welcome
to a Reformed Church: A Guide for Pilgrims
“Who are these guys?”
That was the question the teenage Daniel R. Hyde posed to his father
when he first encountered “Reformed” believers. With their unique
beliefs and practices, these Christians didn’t fit any of the categories
in his mind.
Not so many years later, Hyde is now Rev. Daniel R. Hyde, a pastor of a
Reformed church. Recognizing that many are on the outside looking in,
just as he once was, he wrote Welcome to a Reformed Church: A Guide for Pilgrims to explain what Reformed churches believe and why they structure their life and worship as they do.
In layman’s terms, Rev. Hyde sketches the historical roots of the
Reformed churches, their scriptural and confessional basis, their key
beliefs, and the ways in which those beliefs are put into practice. The
result is a roadmap for those encountering the Reformed world for the
first time and a primer for those who want to know more about their
Reformed heritage.
A
Defence of Calvinism
It is a great thing to begin the
Christian life by believing good solid doctrine. Constant change of
creed is sure loss. If a tree has to be taken up two or three times a
year, you will not need to build a very large loft in which to store the
apples. When people are always shifting their doctrinal principles,
they are not likely to bring forth much fruit to the glory of God. It is
good for young believers to begin with a firm hold upon those great
fundamental doctrines which the Lord has taught in his Word.
With his winsome style and customary mix of wit, wisdom, and warm
devotion to his Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, C. H. Spurgeon
(1834-1892) explains and defends the Bible's teachings about the grace
of God in the gospel. In so doing he helpfully answers several important
questions, which young believers sometimes struggle with, such as: How
did I become a Christian? Did God love me before I was born? What did
Jesus accomplish by his death upon the cross? What can overcome the
wickedness of my sinful heart? Will a true Christian persevere in faith?
What is the best way to be happy as a Christian? Will the doctrines of
grace encourage me to sin or to live a holy life to God's glory?
The
Five Points of Calvinism: Defined, Defended, and Documented (2nd ed.)
Updated edition of classic introductio n to the essential tenets of Calvinistic theology: its history and content, a biblical defense, and a guide to further study.
What
is Reformed Theology?
Have you ever wondered about "the five points"? What do they really mean?
You've heard of Reformed theology, but
you're not certain what it is. Some references to it have been positive,
some negative. It appears to be important, and you'd like to know more
about it. But you want a full, understandable explanation, not a
simplistic one.
What Is Reformed Theology? is
not a textbook but rather an accessible introduction to beliefs that
have been immensely influential in the evangelical church. In this
insightful book, R. C. Sproul will walk you through the foundations of
the Reformed doctrine and explain how the Reformed belief is centered on
God, based on God's Word, and committed to faith in Jesus Christ.
Sproul will explain the five points of Reformed theology and will make
plain to you the reality of God's amazing grace.
What
Is A True Calvinist?
This practical introduction to Reformed
spirituality encourages a God-centered mind, penitent spirit, grateful
heart, submissive will, holy life, and glorious purpose.
