Challenging the dominant Van Tillian approach in Reformed
apologetics, this book by a leading expert in contemporary Reformed
theology sets forth the principles that undergird a classic
Reformed approach. J. V. Fesko's detailed exegetical, theological,
and historical argument takes as its starting point the classical
Reformed understanding of the "two books" of God's revelation:
nature and Scripture. Believers should always rest on the authority
of Scripture but also can and should appeal to the book of nature
in the apologetic task.

Leading Reformed pastors and scholars reflect on the importance of
John Calvin's life and teaching for the church today.
"This book represents a substantial accomplishment, one that
provides a useful resource for those wanting to deepen their
understanding of the sacraments, particularly baptism. Reflecting a
massive amount of research, against the background of an in-depth
survey of various views of baptism in church history, Fesko
provides an extensive exegetical and biblical-theological study of
the covenantal and eschatological significance of baptism followed
by systematic theological reflections on key issues like baptism as
a means of grace, the efficacy of baptism, the biblical warrant for
infant baptism (and against paedocommunion) and the importance of
baptism for the church. One need not agree with his reflections at
every point to benefit from his considerable labors." - Richard B.
Gaffin, Jr., Professor of Biblical and Systematic Theology,
Emeritus, Westminster Theological Seminary
2020 For the Church Book Award This brief, accessible invitation to
the historic creeds and confessions makes a biblical and historical
case for their necessity and shows why they are essential for
Christian faith and practice today. J. V. Fesko, a leading Reformed
theologian with a broad readership in the academy and the church,
demonstrates that creeds are not just any human documents but
biblically commended resources for the well-being of the church, as
long as they remain subordinate to biblical authority. He also
explains how the current skepticism and even hostility toward
creeds and confessions came about.
J. V. Fesko seeks to recover and defend the doctrine of the
covenant of works in this second book in his three-part series. He
argues that it is biblical and a necessary element for a right
understanding of God, the world, Christ and our redemption.
Understanding the nature of the triune God's interaction with Adam
ultimately sets the stage for the work of the last Adam, Jesus. The
book is split into three sections: history, exegesis and doctrine.
The chapter headings are: History Terms Do This and Live Adam's
Faith Covenant or Contract? Grace in the Covenant of Works The
Covenant of Works and Sinai Exegesis Written on the Heart (Rom.
2:14-15) In the Day that you Eat (Gen. 2:16-17) Do This and Live
(Lev. 18:5) They Broke the Everlasting Covenant (Isa. 24:5) Like
Adam They Broke the Covenant (Hos. 6:7) These Are Two Covenants
(Gal. 4:24) Adam, Israel, and Christ (Rom. 5:12-21) Captive to the
Law (Rom. 7:16) Doctrine Statement of the Doctrine The Covenant of
Works and Sinai Justification and the Covenant of Works Grace and
Merit in the Covenant of Works Excursus on Genesis 1:26
This collaborative volume of 26 essays explores the doctrine of
justification from the lenses of history, the Bible, theology, and
pastoral practice-revealing the enduring significance of this
pillar of Protestant theology.
When Christians reflect on the gospel, their attention is rightly
drawn to the cross and empty tomb. But is this it? Or is there much
more to the story? In a ground-breaking work, J. V. Fesko reminds
us that the great news of this gospel message is rooted in
eternity, whereby a covenant was made between the persons of the
Trinity in order to redeem sinners like you and me. J. V. Fesko, in
the first of a three part series on covenant theology featuring
Redemption, Grace and Works, aims to retrieve and recover classic
Reformed covenant theology for the church.
Five hundred years ago, the Reformers were defending doctrines such as justification by faith alone, the authority of Scripture, and God's grace in salvation--some to the point of death. Many of these same essential doctrines are still being challenged today, and there has never been a more crucial time to hold fast to the enduring truth of Scripture.
In Reformation Theology, Matthew Barrett has brought together a team of expert theologians and historians writing on key doctrines taught and defended by the Reformers centuries ago. With contributions from Michael Horton, Gerald Bray, Michael Reeves, Carl Trueman, Robert Kolb, and many others, this volume stands as a manifesto for the church, exhorting Christians to learn from our spiritual forebears and hold fast to sound doctrine rooted in the Bible and passed on from generation to generation.
