Calvin for the 21st Century is an edited compilation of the stimulating addresses given at the Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary's annual conference in August 2009, at Grand Rapids, Michigan. The book contains a wealth of information and practical applications about how to use Calvin's thought in our challenging day. Topics include Calvin on preaching Christ from the Old Testament, missions, the church, Scripture, the Spirit's work, redemption, ethics, believers benefits, the early church, reprobation, marriage, and reforming the church. A highlight is Ligon Duncan's chapter on The Resurgence of Calvinism in America. The book concludes with a summary chapter by the editor, Joel Beeke, who expounds twelve reasons Calvin is important for us today.
 Additional writers include Jerry Bilkes, Michael Haykin, Nelson Kloosterman, David Murray, Joseph Pipa, Neil Pronk, Donald Sinnema, Derek Thomas, and Cornel Venema.

We've been saved by Jesus...so what's next? How do we discern good teaching from bad, what does it look like to grow in holiness, and what should our expectations be for the future? Find answers to those questions in the warm, instructive letters Paul wrote to the Thessalonian church. Pastor and professor Ligon Duncan unpacks these two letters verse by verse, teaching us about Christ's future return and showing us what it means to live in the light of that, whether we're new Christians, seasoned ministers of the gospel or somewhere in between. With thoughtful questions that help group members examine the text closely and apply it to their own lives, plus a substantial leader's guide, this is a great resource for small-group Bible studies.

Fear Not!: Death and the Afterlife from a Christian Perspective

Christian Focus

The Westminster Confession is a foundational document for countless churches worldwide. Churches of all sizes claim it as their confession, and hold to it with varying degrees of closeness. Its influence must not be underestimated. However, countless officeholders will have vowed to abide by the Westminster Confession with only the most perfunctory of understanding of its relevance to their situation. Ligon Duncan has assembled an impressive array of contributors from a variety of ecclesiastical backgrounds. The aim is simple - to enable the 21st Century to understand the confession more fully, and so bring about the same kind of rugged, vigorous, intelligent and self-sacrificing Christianity that was the result of its initial publication over 350 years ago.
In the first of what will be three volumes, the topics covered include:- Baptists and the Westminster Confession; Finney's attack on the Westminster Confession; The Westminster Confession and the Relationship of Church and State; The Holy Spirit and the Westminster Confession.
