JOHN PIPER

ThinkThe Life of the Mind and the Love of God

Piper offers a pastor’s perspective on the life of the mind in

his challenge to the church to think hard for the glory of God.

John Piper’s newest book will help Christians think about thinking.

Focusing on the life of the mind helps us to know God better, love him

more, and care for the world. Along with an emphasis on emotions and

the experience of God, we need to practice careful thinking about God.

Piper contends that “thinking is indispensable on the path to passion

for God.” So how are we to maintain a healthy balance of mind and

heart, thinking and feeling?

Piper urges us to think for the glory of God. He demonstrates from

Scripture that glorifying God with our minds and hearts is not either-or,

but both-and. Thinking carefully about God fuels passion and affections

for God. Likewise, Christ-exalting emotion leads to disciplined thinking.

Readers will be reminded that “the mind serves to know the truth that

fuels the fires of the heart.”

D. A. CARSON (PhD, Cambridge University) is research

professor of New Testament at Trinity Evangelical Divinity

School, where he has taught since 1978. A former pastor

and itinerant minister, Carson is an active guest lecturer in

academic and church settings around the world and has

authored or edited more than fifty books.

D. A. CARSON

Collected�Writings�on�Scripture

A collection of five essays and nine book reviews from a

respected scholar’s reflection on the doctrine of Scripture.

God’s Word has always had enemies, but in recent years the inspira-

tion and authority of Scripture have been attacked with renewed vigor.

Respected scholar D. A. Carson has written widely on the nature of

Scripture over the past thirty years, and here presents a timely collec-

tion of his work in two parts.

In part 1, Carson selects essays written on such themes as how to inter-

pret the Bible, recent developments in the doctrine of Scripture, unity

and diversity in the New Testament, and redaction criticism. Presenting

a theologically balanced and confessional perspective, Carson defines

the terms of a number of debates, critiques interpretive methods and

theories, and suggests positive guidelines for future action.

Part 2 presents critical reviews of nine books dealing with the inspira-

tion and authority of Scripture. Though substantial in content, Carson’s

detailed reviews will foster careful thought and perspective in those

who are relatively new to the debates surrounding biblical inspiration

and authority.

This volume is a diverse collection that will prove to be a helpful

resource to both seasoned pastors and scholars and those who are just

starting serious study of the Bible.

DARRIN PATRICK

Church�PlanterThe Man, the Message, the Mission

Series: Re:Lit

Examines the biblical criteria for the man, the message, and

the mission behind every church plant.

Administrative, financial, and organizational concerns are real and pres-

ent in every church plant. Much of what is written about church plant-

ing aims at methodology and strategy, but specific methods and strate-

gies do not apply to every context. What lies deeper, at the heart of

every church plant?

The most critical human component of every church plant is the church

planter. Darrin Patrick, vice president of the Acts 29 Church Planting

Network, looks at what Scripture teaches about this man’s character,

the message he preaches, and the mission he fosters in his church.

Offering guidance and wisdom from years of experience, Patrick

reminds us that ultimately no church plant will succeed without God’s

grace and blessing.

This book is an essential resource for those considering planting a

church or who are already in a plant. Avoiding an over-emphasis on

particular models or methods, Patrick lays out biblical principles and

sound wisdom as he urges the church back to biblical criteria for deter-

mining the man, the message, and the mission of every church plant.

STEPHEN J. NICHOLS AND NED BUSTARD

The�Church�History�ABCsAugustine and 25 Other Heroes of the Faith

With whimsical, full-color illustrations and engaging prose,

this book teaches church history in a fun and creative way.

Dramatically converted on the stormy seas, a slave-trader-turned-

abolitionist penned the best-loved hymn of the Christian faith. A church

father was arrested and martyred for teaching the truth about Christ’s

incarnation. Captured by pirates and shipped off to Ireland, a priest

baptized thousands of pagans, from paupers to princes. Now who ever

said church history was boring?

The Church History ABCs is a fun way for kids to learn about great fig-

ures in Christian history. Twenty-six heroes of the faith march through

the alphabet, boldly telling their stories in language children can under-

stand. This wide range of characters—men and women from across the

centuries, from all over the globe—reflects the breadth of church history

and reminds children that these great figures of the past were living,

breathing people who lived and died for the glory of God.

JOHN PIPER AND DAVID MATHIS, EDS.

With�Calvin�in�the�Theater�of�GodThe Glory of Christ and Everyday Life

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 con-

tributors invite us to join Calvin in the theater of God.

Stemming from the Desiring God 2009 National Conference, this vol-

ume includes chapters by Julius Kim, Douglas Wilson, Marvin Olasky,

Mark Talbot, Sam Storms, and John Piper. It touches on topics such

as Calvin’s life, the Christian meaning of public life, sin and suffering,

the joy of the last resurrection, and Jesus Christ as the dénouement of

God’s story.

Editors John Piper and David Mathis, along with the contributors, make

John Calvin’s Christ-exalting perspective on the glory of God accessible

to today’s readers. Both Calvinists and other evangelicals interested in

the life and work of Calvin will find these essays refreshing and instruc-

tive, leading to a robust understanding of the world as the theater of

God.

CHRISTOPHER CATHERWOOD

The�EvangelicalsWhat They Believe, Where They Are, and Their Politics

An overview of the global evangelical movement, including its

historical roots, doctrinal distinctives, current strength, influ-

ence on politics and society, and teaching about the future.

In the changing political, social, and religious landscape of the West, the

term evangelical is increasingly losing meaning and credibility. Although

some people say there is no unity to what evangelicals believe, church

historian Christopher Catherwood sets out to prove otherwise, stating,

“We are a people defined by our beliefs, and that is what distinguishes

us in our twenty-first century postmodern times.” Catherwood delivers

a succinct and organized review of the global evangelical movement,

looking at its earliest days, current place in world Christianity, political

and social influence, unifying theological doctrinal beliefs, and its view

on eschatology.

Using the doctrinal basis of the International Fellowship of Evangelical

Students and the 1974 Lausanne Covenant, Catherwood summarizes

evangelical beliefs before describing the scope of the global church

and the shift of evangelicalism’s center from the global North and West

to the South and East. Catherwood demonstrates that the term evan-

gelical is not only meaningful, but necessary. Anyone wanting to know

about the past, present, and future of evangelicalism will find this book

helpful.

Entrusted�with�the�GospelPastoral Expositions of 2 Timothy by John Piper,

Philip Ryken, Mark Driscoll, Edward Copeland, Bryan

Chapell, and J. Ligon Duncan

A collection of six sermons from the Gospel Coalition urging

pastors to stay faithful to the ministry of gospel-centered

preaching.

The church needs a strong reminder of the glorious weight of Scripture.

The Bible is preached from the pulpit less and less, and we need to

return to what is most important. The Gospel Coalition seeks to address

this need. It exists “to be robustly biblical, richly theological, constantly

elevating what God himself in his own Word makes central.”

Stemming from the coalition’s 2009 National Conference and edited

by D. A. Carson, this book explores the great responsibility of being

entrusted with the gospel. Through six sermons expositing 2 Timothy,

John Piper, Phil Ryken, Mark Driscoll, Edward Copeland, Bryan Chapell,

and Ligon Duncan model faithful preaching rooted in Scripture.

These pastors take up themes such as unashamed courage in gospel

preaching, rightly dividing the word of truth, and finishing well. A great

resource for pastors, church leaders, and others in ministry, this volume

will help readers better live the vision of 2 Timothy.

The�Bible�Story�HandbookA Resource for Teaching 150 Stories from the Bible

This one-of-a-kind resource assists Sunday school teachers

and parents to teach 155 Bible stories in an accurate, under-

standable, and God-centered way.

How do Sunday school teachers lead children through the stories of

Cain and Abel or Judas’s betrayal in a way that reflects the authority of

Scripture? Sunday school curricula often gloss over difficult lessons or

focus too much on characters in Bible stories, neglecting God’s self-rev-

elation in Scripture. John and Kim Walton have created this handbook

for 155 Bible stories to assist teachers and parents in knowing what

each story teaches and how to present it in a God-centered way.

As they work their way through the Bible, the Waltons examine seven

elements in each story: focus, theme, application, place in the Bible,

interpretational issues, historical and cultural background, and age-

group appropriateness. The Bible Story Handbook includes introductory

articles on why we teach the Bible and right and wrong ways to use the

Bible, and ends with a two-year teaching plan. Every parent and Sunday

school teacher will find this unique resource to be invaluable in teach-

ing children to know and love God.

FRED G. ZASPEL

The�Theology�of�B.�B.�WarfieldA Systematic Summary

Presents the first comprehensive, systematic treatment of

B. B. Warfield’s theology.

Benjamin Breckinridge Warfield (1851–1921) was undoubtedly one

of the greatest Reformed theologians in the history of America. As

professor of didactic and polemic theology at Princeton University,

he wrote extensively in defense of fundamental Christian doctrines.

While his writing touched on the full spectrum of theological topics, it

was spread over hundreds of periodicals, books, and pamphlets, and

a significant portion has never been published in an accessible form.

Warfield stands as a dominant figure on the theological landscape, but

few have a comprehensive grasp of his theology, largely because of the

difficulty of tracing his ideas through numerous sources.

Fred G. Zaspel has spent many years studying Warfield’s published and

unpublished writing, and presents here a concise and coherent system-

atic theology per B. B. Warfield. For the first time ever, readers can, in

one volume, access the content of this great theologian’s academic,

sermonic, and devotional works. Scholars, pastors, and students will

profit from the unique combination of comprehensive detail and devo-

tional warmth in this systematic theology.

Bonding�with�Your�Teen�through�Boundaries(Revised Edition)

A counselor teaches parents practical ways to lovingly pro-

vide boundaries in four critical areas of their teen’s life.

We provide our children with boundaries because we want to keep

them safe and we want to teach them to make good decisions. While

the boundaries themselves may change as our children grow older, the

need for them does not. Parents need advice to navigate complex and

difficult scenarios that may arise with their teen.

June Hunt and Jody Capehart provide such advice in Bonding with

Your Teen through Boundaries. Drawing on biblical principles, they

show parents how to provide appropriate boundaries in four critical

areas of a teen’s life: at home, at school, and in their personal and social

lives. Each chapter opens with a real-life scenario followed by concrete

advice on what to say and what disciplinary action, if any, to take with

your teen. Practical and realistic in its tone, the book continually shows

how discipline and boundaries are helpful catalysts for healthy bonding.

This thoroughly revised and updated edition of Bonding with Your Teen

includes new material that addresses the ever-increasing impact of

technology on teenagers.

communities, and Cornish equips churches, families, and friends to

come alongside those mourning the loss of a spouse.

The Undistracted Widow includes sections to help widows find renewed

BARRY DANYLAK

Redeeming�SinglenessHow the Storyline of Scripture Affirms the Single Life

Danylak rescues the conversation about singleness from the

sphere of experiential teaching and brings it squarely into the

realm of biblical theology, where it emerges as a legitimate

reflection of the sufficiency of Christ’s redeeming act.

Though marriage and procreation were fundamental to the propoga-

tion of God’s people in Old Testament times, the New Testament affirms

singleness as a calling for some Christians. Redeeming Singleness

expounds a theology of singleness that shows how the blessings of the

covenant are now directly mediated to believers through Christ.

Redeeming Singleness offers an in-depth examination of the redemp-

tive history from which biblical singleness emerges. Danylak illustrates

the continuity of this affirmation of singleness by showing how the Old

Testament creation mandate and the New Testament kingdom mandate

must both be understood in light of God’s plan of redemption through

spiritual rebirth in Christ.

As the trend toward singleness in the church increases, the need

for constructive theological reflection likewise grows. Redeeming

Singleness meets this need, providing encouragement to those who are

single or ministering to singles and challenging believers from all walks

of life to reflect more deeply on the sufficiency of Christ.

STARR MEADE

God’s�Mighty�Acts�in�Creation

Teaches children ages 8–12 to see the wonder of who God is

through the things he has created.

Nature reveals majestic truths about God—truths that help us know him

better. God’s Mighty Acts in Creation helps children recognize those

wonders, and what they tell us about their Creator.

As Starr Meade, author of Mighty Acts of God, guides young readers

through the six days of creation, she points to how creation displays the

wisdom and power of God. She also helps readers explore and apply

other references to nature in the Bible by answering questions such

as: What did Jesus mean when he claimed to be the true vine? How is

all flesh like grass, and how should that affect the way we live? What

was God revealing about himself when he made the sun stand still for

Joshua? Each reading includes a key verse, stimulating questions, and

engaging activities, all geared toward elementary-aged children.

Whether parents use this book for family devotions or children read it

for themselves, all will learn how God’s glory, wisdom, sovereignty, and

power are revealed in all of creation. This is a companion volume to

God’s Mighty Acts in Salvation.

STARR MEADE

God’s�Mighty�Acts�in�Salvation

Forty interactive readings introduce children ages 8–12 to

God’s saving work and the priority of the gospel by creatively

unpacking Paul’s teachings in Galatians.

Long before we reach adulthood, the gospel ought to be shaping

our lives. Paul taught the core truths of the gospel in his letter to the

Galatians, and this collection of interactive readings for preteens applies

those truths in understandable ways.

Each reading begins with a key verse and then highlights one element

of the gospel in everyday terms, followed by questions and activi-

ties that reinforce Paul’s teaching. Meade guides young readers to a

full picture of God’s saving work, as well as a real understanding of

other doctrinal concepts such as justification by faith alone, the prior-

ity of Scripture, the requirements for apostleship, and the relationship

between the old and new covenants.

For parents and teachers who want to awaken young hearts to a life-

long commitment to the gospel, God’s Mighty Acts in Salvation is a

great resource. This is a companion volume to God’s Mighty Acts in

Creation.

BRADLEY G. GREEN (PhD, Baylor University) is associate

professor of Christian studies at Union University and co-

founder of Augustine School, a Christian liberal arts

school in Jackson, Tennessee. He has written numerous

journal articles and reviews.

BRADLEY G. GREEN

The�Gospel�and�the�MindRecovering and Shaping the Intellectual Life

By establishing central themes of the West’s Christian inheri-

tance as the basis of the intellectual life, Green shows that

any recovery of the life of the mind depends on a recovery of

the gospel.

History demonstrates that wherever the cross is planted, the academy

follows. But history alone cannot demonstrate why this is—and must

be—the case. Green engages theology and philosophy to prove that the

Christian vision of God, mankind, and the world provides the necessary

precondition for and enduring foundation of meaningful intellectual life.

The Gospel and the Mind, deeply rooted in Augustinian and Reformed

thought, shows that core principles of the West’s Christian inheritance—

such as creation and the importance of history, the centrality of a telos

to all things, and the logos and the value of words—form the matrix of

any promising and sustainable intellectual life.

More than a lament of the state of the evangelical mind or even an

argument for the primacy of a Christian worldview, The Gospel and the

Mind is a paradigm-shifting declaration that the life of the mind starts

at the cross.

FRED SANDERS

The�Deep�Things�of�GodHow the Trinity Changes Everything

A specialist in the doctrine of the Trinity explains how the

gospel is inherently Trinitarian and how this adds depth and

richness to faith and the Christian life.

The doctrine of the Trinity is widely taught and believed by evangeli-

cals, but rarely is it fully understood or celebrated. Systematic theolo-

gian Fred Sanders, in The Deep Things of God, shows why we ought to

embrace the doctrine of the Trinity wholeheartedly and without reserve,

as a central concern of evangelical theology.

Sanders demonstrates with passion and conviction that the doctrine of

the Trinity is grounded in the gospel itself. Written accessibly, The Deep

Things of God examines the centrality of the Trinity in our salvation and

the Trinity’s presence in the reading of the Bible and prayer. Readers

will understand that a robust doctrine of the Trinity has massive impli-

cations for their lives. Indeed, recognizing the work of the Trinity in the

gospel changes everything, restoring depth to prayer, worship, Bible

study, missions, tradition, and our understanding of Christianity’s funda-

mental doctrines.

University. He is the author of several books, including

Train Us to Wrestle with the Modern & Postmodern World.

LOUIS MARKOS

Apologetics�for�the�Twenty-first�Century

Using the work of C. S. Lewis as a starting point, Markos

examines the key popular apologists and arguments that

shape the intellectual defense of the Christian faith today.

The vibrant and persuasive arguments of C. S. Lewis brought about a

shift in the discipline of apologetics, moving the conversation from the

ivory tower to the public square. The resulting strain of popular apolo-

getics—which weaves through Lewis into twentieth-century writers like

Francis Schaeffer and modern apologists like William Lane Craig, Josh

McDowell, and Lee Strobel—has equipped countless believers to defend

their faith against its detractors.

Apologetics for the Twenty-first Century uses Lewis’s work as the start-

ing point for an absorbing survey of the key apologists and major

arguments that inform apologetics today. Like apologists before him,

Markos writes to engage Christians of all denominations as well as seek-

ers and skeptics. His narrative, “man of letters” style and short chapters

make Apologetics for the Twenty-first Century easily accessible for the

general reader. But an extensive and heavily annotated bibliography,

detailed timeline, list of prominent apologists, and glossary of common

terms will satisfy the curiosity of the seasoned academic, as the book

prepares all readers to meet the particular challenges of defending the

faith today.

DAVID VANDRUNEN

Living�in�God’s�Two�KingdomsA Biblical Vision of Christianity and Culture

Shows how God’s responses to the civil and spiritual king-

doms inform an active yet critical Christian engagement with

culture.

Modern movements such as neo-Calvinism, the New Perspective on

Paul, and the emerging church have popularized a view of Christianity

and culture that calls for the redemption of earthly society and institu-

tions. Many Christians have reflexively embraced this view, enticed by

the socially active and engaged faith it produces.

Living in God’s Two Kingdoms illustrates how a two-kingdoms model

of Christianity and culture affirms much of what is compelling in these

transformationist movements while remaining faithful to the whole

counsel of Scripture. By focusing on God’s response to each kingdom—

his preservation of the civil society and his redemption of the spiritual

kingdom—VanDrunen teaches readers how to live faithfully in each

sphere.

Highlighting vital biblical distinctions between honorable and holy

tasks, VanDrunen’s analysis will challenge Christians to be actively and

critically engaged in the culture around them while retaining their iden-

tities as sojourners and exiles in this world.

Theological Seminary) is assistant professor of biblical

studies at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and

Sugar Land, Texas. He is author of God’s Indwelling

Presence and numerous articles and essays.

JAMES M. HAMILTON JR.

God’s�Glory�in�Salvation�through�JudgmentA Biblical Theology

Moves through the Bible book by book to demonstrate its

theological center: God’s glory in salvation through judgment.

In Exodus 34 Moses asks to see God’s glory, and God reveals himself as

a God who is merciful and just. James Hamilton Jr. contends that from

this passage comes a biblical theology that unites the meta-narrative

of Scripture under one central theme: God’s glory in salvation through

judgment.

Hamilton begins in the Old Testament by showing that God was glori-

fied through both his judgment on the Egyptians and the Caananites,

and his mercy as accorded in salvation to Israel. The New Testament

unfolds the ultimate display of God’s glory in justice and mercy, as it

was God’s righteous judgment shown on the cross that brought us sal-

vation. God’s glory in salvation through judgment will be shown at the

end of time, when Christ returns to judge his enemies and save all who

have called on his name.

Hamilton moves through the Bible book by book, showing that there

is one theological center to the whole Bible. The volume’s systematic

method and scope make it a unique resource.

EvangelicalismWhat Is It and Is It Worth Keeping?

A noted evangelical scholar presents a biblical/theological def-

inition of evangelicalism that is rooted in the New Testament’s

description of the gospel and that retains its relevance today.

What defines today’s evangelicals? Are they people who fit an empirical,

social-science profile? Have historical roots in the Reformation? Hold to

certain theological priorities or fall within particular parameters? Is the

term evangelical even useful anymore?

D. A. Carson responds to all these questions and more in

Evangelicalism. Carson defines and upacks the term, advocating a

biblical/theological foundation that is built on the description of the

gospel found in 1 Corinthians 15. First establishing that evangelicalism

is Christological, biblical, historical, theological, apostolic, heraldic, and

personal, he proceeds to demonstrate its continuing relevance and our

need for its scripturally defined boundaries. Carson then critiques Mark

Noll’s book Is the Reformation Over? and draws examples from Catholic

doctrine, Christian experience, and modern scholarship to illustrate that

the issues at stake in the Reformation are not settled.

Carson’s book will be welcomed by readers concerned about the future

of evangelicalism and thinking about evangelicalism’s place in today’s

religious forums.

Saved�from�What?

A penetrating look by well-known pastor and teacher R. C.

Sproul at what the Bible really teaches about the nature of

salvation.

Christians speak of “being saved” but all too often don’t follow the

phrase to its logical reply: “Saved from what?” How do we answer this

question when we share the gospel with others? Far from being a mat-

ter of semantics, the issue holds critical importance for believers and

non-believers alike. Is it really sufficient to say that we are saved from

our sins?

R. C. Sproul uses Scripture to show that the question, in its most impor-

tant sense, should be phrased, “Saved from whom?” The answer: God

himself. God, in righteous wrath, stands against us in our sin. But the

glory of the gospel is that the one from whom we need to be saved is

the very one who saves us. It is when we truly grasp the significance

of Christ’s redeeming work that we begin to understand the serious

demands and joys of repentance. Thoughtful readers will be strength-

ened and challenged by this insightful volume.
