Written by James D. Davis | Tuesday, June 29, 2010

In his new book, the Rev. Tullian Tchividjian connects the Book of Jonah with the religious right.

Book Review – Awakening: The Life and Ministry of Robert Murray McCheyne by David Robertson

Written by Robert Davis | Monday, June 21, 2010

The value of this work is found in these additional materials, and in Robertson’s attempt to correct and explain the overly favorable nature of Bonar’s account. Robert Murray McCheyne’s seven year ministry was terminated by his premature death at age 30 in 1843. Yet the spiritual impact of his brief earthly sojourn extends beyond our... Continue Reading

rThe Spirit of the Law: Religious Voices and the Constitution in Modern America by Sarah Barringer Gordon, Belknap Press of Harvard University Press (April 30, 2010) Don’t be misled by the seemingly bland title—itself a pun, referring both to religious groups’ encounter with the law and the tension between law’s letter and spirit.

Book Review: Thieves in the Temple

Written by Roland Matthews | Thursday, June 17, 2010

American Christianity has forgotten that “faith is costly, and spiritual growth involves sacrifice.” Sacrifice was the calling card of the Christian in centuries past.

PCA’s Peter Lillbeck hits Amazon #2 in Books

Written by Will Bunch | Tuesday, May 25, 2010

How does a four-year-old tome by little-known leader of a Glenside, Pa., seminary, dealing with the religious beliefs of a figure who’s been dead for two centuries become a best-selling book?
