Welcome to a Reformed Church

…is a new book by Rev. Daniel Hyde to be released March 15 (published by Reformation Trust). The book is described in part as:

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.

I’m really interested in reading what Hyde has to say and it may just be a book that I’ll have to always have a couple of copies spare to give away.

A sample chapter is available for free download and/or you can pre-order a copy here.

HT: Kim Riddlebarger

Update: Lord willing, I’ll be interviewing Rev. Daniel Hyde about his soon to be released book, and there may be a couple of other surprises in store as well. So stay tuned over the coming weeks!

Dispensationalism and Covenant Theology – Nathan Pitchford

Nathan Pitchford has produced some really helpful material in the past (remember his work on baptism). Well, he’s now released a book entitled Dispensationalism and Covenant Theology that can be purchased or downloaded for free.

Although I’ve not read the 258 pages (I’ve only just discovered its existence minutes ago!) looking through the table of contents and skimming a couple of sections leads me to conclude that this should be another beneficial addition to Pitchford’s collection.

If you have the money, consider encouraging Nathan Pitchford by purchasing a copy of Dispensationalism and Covenant Theology.

Why are the Ten Commandments Still for New Covenant Believers?

Why do Reformed Christians (and the Reformed confessions) state that the moral law (the Ten Commandments) remains binding on all men of all ages? Dr. R. Scott Clark answers that question in his latest edition of the Heidelcast.

Clark makes reference to a series by the faculty of Westminster Seminary California entitled, The Law of God and the Christian. You can purchase and download the series via this link.

Beeke Bonanza

I’m a little behind as I have been busy with other commitments, but I’ve just finished listening to Covenant Radio’s interview of Joel R. Beeke on his book The Soul of Life: The Piety of John Calvin.

I’d encourage you to listen to the broadcast for its edification, but also because you’ll be able to take advantage of a “Beeke Bonanza.” During the show two codes are given that will allow you to purchase Beeke’s The Soul of Life: The Piety of John Calvin and his Living For God’s Glory: An Introduction to Calvinism at a discounted rate. This special is for Covenant Radio listeners only, so listen today!

Update: Please note that the offer is only valid until the 14th January!

Definition of Atonement

I’ve been reading William Symington: Penman of the Scottish Covenanters. It has been a blessing so far and I may post some more excerpts in the future; however, for now here’s Symington’s concise definition of the atonement:

“That perfect satisfaction given to the law and justice of God, by the sufferings and death of Jesus Christ, on behalf of elect sinners of mankind, on account of which they are delivered from condemnation.”

This quote, although reproduced in the aforementioned book was originally found in Symington, William. The Atonement and Intercession of Jesus Christ (p.12)

The Canons of Dordt

The Canons of Dordt (often referred to today as the “Five Points of Calvinism”) are expounded and explained by R. Scott Clark in an edition of Tabletalk Magazine from 2008:

Everyone knows the acronym TULIP, but not everyone knows where this acronym comes from. The Canons of Dordt are among the most famous but unread deliverances of any Reformed Synod. The canons are more than five letters. The canons teach a pastoral doctrine of grace and provide a model for the stewardship of the Gospel.
