Christian Faith: A Systematic Theology For Pilgrims on The Way (Hardcover)

One Week Only
(Sale Ends Thursday,
Jan. 27th @11:59 PM)

Current Price (as of 1/31/11): $29.49 (41% discount)


Due to overwhelming demand, we and the publisher are out of stock of this title. While we will honor the promotional price through January 27th, your entire order may be delayed until late February if you include this title.
About the Author: Michael Horton (PhD, University of Coventry and Wycliffe Hall, Oxford) is J. Gresham Machen Professor of Systematic Theology and Apologetics at Westminster Seminary California. He hosts The White Horse Inn radio broadcast and is editor-in-chief of Modern Reformation magazine. He is the author/editor of more than fifteen books.

"Michael Horton's new systematic theology has been long-awaited and does not disappoint. Here is classic, deep, orthodox Reformed theology, written in a way that is thoughtful and engaged... For those who think one must make a choice between guarding the faith and being thoughtfully relevant, think again: this book both teaches theology and is an example of how theology should be done. The reader who is undaunted by the number of pages will be richly rewarded."  — Carl Trueman, Professor of Historical Theology and Church History and Vice-President for Academic Affairs, Westminster Theological Seminary

"[A] major restatement of Christian truth for today... carried through in a fresh and stimulating fashion out of a deep commitment to Reformation and post-Reformation orthodoxy enriched by the subsequent redemptive-historical insights of Geerhardus Vos and others... One may have reservations about the author's “forensic ontology” and aspects of his use of speech act theory yet benefit greatly from his able and biblically sound treatment of numerous theological topics." — Richard B. Gaffin, Jr., Professor of Biblical and Systematic Theology, Emeritus, Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia

"[A] systematic theology for this generation of the Reformed movement."— Bryan Chapell, President, Covenant Theological Seminary

"A crisp, clear, and forceful new theology that is at once biblical and reverent, historical and contemporary, learned but accessible."— David F. Wells, Distinguished Research Professor, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary

"Dr. Horton has produced a remarkable work. His approach to systematic theology is fresh and critically needed in our time."— R. C. Sproul, Chairman and President, Ligonier Ministries

"Horton’s Christian Faith has the great merit of never letting the reader forget that doctrine is for disciples who want to walk the way of Jesus Christ. Horton knows that the best systematic theology is a practical theology—one that helps us understand the ways of God, makes sense of life, and gives direction for God-glorifying living. He also knows that the best systematic theologies draw on biblical and historical theology. May many readers therefore take up this book, read, and walk!"— Kevin J. Vanhoozer, Blanchard Professor of Theology, Wheaton College and Graduate School

Brand New: Dearman on Hosea (NICOT) + NICOT Sale

Not long ago the Westminster Bookstore partnered with Eerdmans Publishing to offer a special deal on The Letter to the Hebrews by Peter T. O'Brien along with a discount on the rest of the Pillar NT Commentary series.  I took advantage of this and am very glad I did.

Well, Westminster Bookstore is at it again with another great opportunity.  They are partnering again with Eerdmans Publishing to offer a special deal on J. Andrew Dearman's New International Commentary Series volume, The Book of Hosea.

View the Table of Contents here.

Below is a sampling of the high praise that Dearman's commentary is receiving:

"This is a welcome addition to the NICOT series. Dearman's commentary provides the most recent deep engagement with the ancient text of Hosea the prophet. Dialoguing with the best of scholarship, the commentary offers both detailed exegesis of the text with accompanying translation from the original Hebrew, as well as general overviews at key literary junctures to orient the reader to the progressive development of the book as a whole. Particularly helpful is Dearman's sensitivity to the social context of ancient Israelite households. He restores the vivid metaphorical colors of the book of Hosea long faded by history."
Mark J. Boda— McMaster Divinity College, McMaster University

"Serious engagement with the book of Hosea now starts with Dearman's commentary."
Tremper Longman III— Westmont College

"This is a welcome addition to the NICOT series on one of the most important prophets of ancient Israel.... readers will not be disappointed by Dearman's thorough and penetrating exegesis."
Bill T. Arnold— Asbury Theological Seminary

Until August 19th, Westminster Bookstore is offering Dearman's new Hosea volume for 45% off of its list price. At the same time, they are offering an extra 10% off of every NICOT volume's already discounted price with a purchase of 2 or more (so if someone buys 2 NICOT volumes they will receive and extra 10% off of each).

Here is a list of the NICOT volumes:

The Book of Genesis 1-17 (NICOT) by Hamilton, Victor P.  
The Book of Genesis 18-50 (NICOT) by Hamilton, Victor P.

Pillar NT Commentary Sale at WTS


+

WTS: $39.65
(39% Off)

WTS: $30.72
(36% Off)

Available Commentaries in the Pillar New Testament Commentary Series:
The only volume I currently own is James Edwards' commentary on Mark.  I am using it alongside of Guelich (WBC), Cranfield and a few others.  It is helpful especially in that it draws upon the New Exodus motif drawn out in greater detail by Rikki Watts and Joel Marcus.  Although I haven't found it to be "the best" commentary on Mark, it is very profitable.

I'd like to know which commentaries in this series you have used and would recommend to me.  O'Brien's commentary on Hebrews is the latest release (March 2010) and it is drawing a good bit of attention around the blogosphere.  I've heard many times that Carson's is a "must have" on JohnWhat about the others?

When Helping Hurts by Corbett & Fikkert

Blessed is the one who considers the poor! Psalm 41:1a (ESV)

A friend, who spends a great deal of time working with the poor and needy in our community as well as with the many folks who are attempting to minister in various ways to the same, recommended the following book to me. I've been awaiting its publication and now I see that the Westminster Bookstore is offering a Special Launch Price for 48 Hours. Upon his recommendation and what I've learned about the authors, I think that you ought to consider this book. Hurry this deal won't last long.

When Helping Hurts: How to Alleviate Poverty Without Hurting the Poor...and Yourself by Steve Corbett & Brian Fikkert (Moody Publishers, 2009). PB

Sample Pages

ISBN-10: 0802457053 | ISBN-13: 9780802457059
Binding: Paperback
List Price: $14.99
Westminster Bookstore: $4.89 - 67% Off (NO LONGER ON SALE)
CURRENT PRICE (as of April 2011): $9.72
Publisher's Description: Churches and individual Christians typically have faulty assumptions about the causes of poverty, resulting in the use of strategies that do considerable harm to poor people and themselves. When Helping Hurts provides foundational concepts, clearly articulated general principles and relevant applications. The result is an effective and holistic ministry to the poor, not a truncated gospel.
A situation is assessed for whether relief, rehabilitation, or development is the best response to a situation. Efforts are characterized by an "asset based" approach rather than a "needs based" approach. Short term mission efforts are addressed and microenterprise development (MED) is explored.
208 Pages
Published July 2009
About the Authors:
Brian Fikkert is an associate professor of economics at Covenant College, and the founder and executive director of the Chalmers Center for Economic Development at Covenant College.
Steve Corbett is the community development specialist for the Chalmers Center for Economic Development, and an assistant professor in the department of economics and community development at Covenant College.
