Timothy Miller defends and further develops the foundationally Trinitarian, multiperspectival theological method of John Frame and Vern Poythress, an eminently useful, historically Reformed tool for understanding all created reality.Endorsements"This is a highly stimulating work that makes a very helpful and useful contribution in its argument for utilizing the Trinitarian processions in a Frame/Poythress perspectival account of knowledge and apologetics. In terms of originality, I think the meat of the work lies there, and good meat it is too."-Mike Ovey, Principal, Oak Hill College, London, England"Triperspectivalism is a theological method based on the Bible's teaching about the one God in three persons. Tim Miller's book presents an accurate formulation of this method and explores in depth the origin of the method in the doctrine of the Trinity. I recommend the book highly to those who aspire to be serious students of theological method and of the Trinity itself."-John Frame, Professor Emeritus of Systematic Theology and Philosophy, Reformed Theological Seminary, Orlando"Clear and helpful for readers. . . . a valuable resource on the subject. I am grateful that someone with Miller's ability has seen fit to offer the first published book-length study of triperspectivalism, and a good book at that."-Vern S. Poythress, Professor of New Testament Interpretation, Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia

Rarely addressed throughout church history, the doctrine of adoption has seen fresh attention in recent years. Although valuable, contemporary studies have focused primarily on etymological, cultural, and pastoral considerations, giving little to no attention to vital systematic theological concerns.In this groundbreaking work, Professor David Garner examines the function of adoption in Pauline thought: its relationship to the doctrines of Christ, the Holy Spirit, eschatology, and union with Christ, as well as its primary place among the other benefits of salvation.Adoption frames Pauline soteriology, Garner argues, and defines the Trinitarian, familial context of redemption in Christ, the Son of God. Properly understood, adoption's paradigm-shifting implications extend deep and far.Endorsements"This book is a gem: a precious mind-clearing, heartwarming achievement."-J. I. Packer"I'm convinced that Garner's book will be considered a theological classic of the Christian faith. . . . To say I absolutely loved it would be an understatement."-Dan Cruver, President, Together for Adoption"Reading Sons in the Son is like putting on a new set of glasses that enable the reader to see the glistening beauty of God's grace of adoption throughout the entirety of his salvation plan."-Nancy Guthrie, Author, Seeing Jesus in the Old Testament series"Garner's book may well reset the Reformed church's thinking about the relationship of its doctrine of salvation and its doctrine of Christ."-Howard Griffith, Academic Dean, Reformed Theological Seminary, Washington, DC"All future work on this subject that is so precious to the minds and hearts of Christians should reckon with this masterful treatment."-Joel R. Beeke, President, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, Grand RapidsAlso endorsed by Richard B. Gaffin Jr., Russell Moore, Harry L. Reeder, and Guy Prentiss Waters.

Calls all believers to do apologetics -- to apply biblical truth to contemporary concerns. A popular-level introduction to presuppositional apologetics and its biblical underpinnings.

The truth of God is rich and multifaceted. Though a coherent body of revelation, the Bible comes to us through a variety of inspired authors, metaphors, and themes, highlighting the many facets of God's truth. Likewise, our theological formulations capture manifold emphases-distinct "perspectives" on the whole-which collectively enable us to gain a fuller understanding of the truth. Poythress explains, "We use what we have gained from one perspective to reinforce, correct, or improve what we understood through another. I call this procedure 'symphonic theology' because it is analogous to a blending of various musical instruments to express the variation of a symphonic theme.""[A] seminal book. . . . Symphonic Theology can help us . . . avoid the errors which have been all too common even in much of our best work, and allow the multiple perspectives present in Scripture to enrich our theology rather than threaten it."-Donald T. Williams

John Frame answers objections to contemporary worship music by noting its biblical strengths and benefits in worship.Endorsements"Here, at last, is a case-and one made articulately and wonsomely-for using contemporary music in worship with theological integrity. . . . it is rare to find an author who makes his case with as much balance."-Reggie M. Kidd"John Frame goes a long way toward sorting out the issues involved in contemporary worship music and making us aware of the criteria for judging it."-William Edgar". . . sorting out the biblical, the theological, the cultural, and the traditional is not always easy. Frame's work will be of tremendous value to everyone seriously considering the topic of worship."-Charles Dunahoö

Calming the storm. Healing the sick. Raising the dead. These are just a few of the wondrous works of Jesus Christ.

Drew pursues Christ in the history, wisdom, law, prophecy, and poetry of the Old Testament. This work makes a persuasive case for the continuing relevance of the Old Testament to modern Christians' faith and lives.Endorsements". . . a well-written and persuasive case for the continuing relevance of the Old Testament. . . . Drew pursues Christ in the history, wisdom, law, prophecy, and poetry of the Old Testament, and in the process we are invited to a lifelong meditation on what constitutes more than three-quarters of God's Word. Ancient Love Song deserves wide circulation because it can enrich every believer's relationship to the Bible."-Tremper Longman III". . . an extremely helpful aid to the pastor who wants to avoid the moralizing of much older preaching and the psychologizing of much modern preaching. This shows the way to preach the gospel of Christ from every part of the Bible. Drew's book is warm, builds on solid biblical theology, and is vastly more practical than other books on 'preaching Christ." I love it."-Timothy J. Keller"The Ancient Love Song is splendid! This is the way biblical theology should be done, always pointing us to Christ. I found Drew's work to be passionate, perceptive, and pointed."-Bruce K. Waltke

Written from the viewpoint of post-millennialism, this work provides a critical analysis of the three positions in eschatology: pre-millennialism, a-millennialism, and post-millennialism.

If we are honest with ourselves, we will acknowledge that we pray very little. When we do pray, we are often focused on our own performance or on making a "good impression" on God or those around us. As a result, we lose the joy, delight, and childlike dependence of heartfelt prayer.But despite our weakness in prayer, Jesus' teaching and example provide support rather than condemnation. This uplifting book highlights this encouragement and calls believers to turn their eyes away from their own performance and follow Jesus as they pursue the heart of prayer.Endorsements"At a time when many of us today are hardly better than atheists when it comes to prayer, Jerram Barrs is a wise and gentle guide to the way of prayer shown and taught by Jesus. I have benefited enormously from this profound yet simple and helpful book."-Os Guinness, author of The Call"I can't think of anyone better than Jerram Barrs to write on the subject of prayer. Dive into The Heart of Prayer and take a cool swim in the wisdom of a teacher who knows how to tackle discipleship with grace, humility, and transparency. If he's speaking, I'm listening. You should be too."-Charlie Peacock, author of New Way to Be Human
