"Everyone loves the book of Philippians. Rightly so. It is short, sweet, and full of gospel truth and rich application,” says author Blake White. Think of all the verses most Christians know by heart:
<ul>
<li>He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion in Christ Jesus.</li> <li>To live is Christ and to die is gain.</li> <li>At the name of Jesus every knee will bow, in heaven, on earth, and under the earth.</li> <li>Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.</li> <li>I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.</li> <li>Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I say, rejoice!</li> <li>I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.</li>
</ul>
 It’s good to know Bible verses, it’s better to know how they fit into the larger flow and context of the book. With his characteristic pastoral care, Blake White shows how Philippians calls us to love like Jesus. When we do, we find joy, unity, and increasing passion for the gospel.

What do you think, are the Jews still God’s chosen people? Is your answer based more on theological tradition or the clear teaching of Scripture? In other words, how would you make your case from the Bible?In God’s Chosen People, theologian and pastor A. Blake White makes his biblical case that "Jesus Christ and His people are the fulfillment of all OT prophecy,” even the prophecies about the Jews. Now that Christ has come, it’s about your faith, not your family tree. Actually, that was God’s plan all along.

God's Chosen People: Promised to Israel, Fulfilled in the Church

When one monk nailed his challenges to the door of the Catholic Church, he had no idea that it would open a crack leading all the way down to the very foundation of medieval theology. He started out only to reform papal errors, but ended up sparking a wholesale return to the biblical gospel, grace, and the Word of Jesus Christ. 'Protestant', a term first used against the followers of this renegade monk by his opponents, was eventually embraced as a rallying cry for participants in the Reformation. This book by A. Blake White will walk you through the five foundational beliefs of those who fought alongside Martin Luther for the purity of the Christian faith. The need for Christians to uphold these truths is as strong today as it was in the 16th century.

The Five Solas: The Deliberately Protestant Church

How one puts the canon together is extremely important. Entire denominations are formed based on differing views of how the Old Testament relates to the New. The two most common theological systems dealing with the relationship of the testaments are Dispensationalism and Covenant Theology, but there have been many revisions of each in the last fifty years. Classic Dispensationalism has largely fallen off the map, thanks in large part to the work of George Eldon Ladd (who built off of the insights of Geerhardus Vos and others), while Progressive Dispensationalism and Covenant Theology are still thriving in their various circles. This book will come from a New Covenant Theological perspective. By a brief look at the progressive covenantal framework of the Old Testament, and a closer look at several key texts in the Gospels, Paul, and Hebrews, this book will seek to show that the new covenant is fundamentally and radically new.

The Newness Of The New Covenant

"What are Christians to obey? The Bible is the simple answer of course, but upon further investigation, things are not quite that simple. For example, I am sure we have all heard a Christian condemning and calling homosexuality an abomination based upon Leviticus 18:22 or 20:13. However, if one looks on the next page at Leviticus 19:27, should we not also conclude that we should not get haircuts or shave? Why is one normative, but not the other?" "Christianity, after all, is not simply a code of ethics. It is not just a moral system. Being a Christian is not simply trying to 'do what Jesus did.' No, the foundation of the Christian life is the gospel of Jesus Christ. All else flows from the good news of Christ crucified for sinners. As Michael Horton writes, 'It is the Good News that yields good works. Salvation is not the prize for our obedience but the source.'" "The law of Christ cannot be reduced to a list of do's and don'ts. It certainly involves specific things that can be 'listed' as right or wrong, but it is far more than a list like the ten words written on stone. The law of Christ is love, but it is also the example of Christ. Everything Christ taught is part of his law, but so is everything his apostles taught a vital part of his law. Christ himself is his law personified. The whole of Scripture, as interpreted through the lens of Christ as the new covenant prophet, priest, and king, is a part of the law of Christ." May the Sovereign Lord be pleased to bless you, as you read and contemplate the glory of the new covenant in Christ, to see Christ more fully and more gloriously, as the full and final authoritative Word by whom God has spoken in these last days.

The Law of Christ: A Theological Proposal

For centuries, Paul’s “letter of freedom” has encouraged, convicted, shaped, and instructed the people of God. In it we find the wonderful themes of the sufficiency of God’s revelation, the uniqueness of Jesus Christ, the overlap of the ages, and the grace of justification by faith, not by works of the law. We also see the centrality of the cross, the relation of the Abrahamic and Mosaic covenants, the role of the law in God's economy, the importance of walking by the Spirit, and the unity of the people of God. In this short exposition, Blake White walks the reader through Galatians with an eye on theological implications and contemporary application.

Most commentary-like books teach you about the text. This one teaches you about Christ. Blake White leads you to think about how John's letter should impact your love for the Savior and His people. He also gives clarity to some notoriously obscure statements. Bring this book alongside every reading and study of First John.

Abide in Him: A Theological Interpretation of John's First Letter

To be "in Christ" means everything! To be a Christian is to be in Christ. This is why Paul could say in 2 Corinthians 12:2 that he knew a man “in Christ.” He could have said, “I know a Christian.” In Romans 16:7, Paul says that Andronicus and Junia were “in Christ” before he was. In other words, they were Christians before he was. Christians are those who are “in the Messiah.”

New Covenant Theology is a developing system of theol-ogy that seeks to let the Bible inform our theology. This sounds basic, and almost all systems of theology claim that their system is based upon the Bible. As I hope to show you, New Covenant Theology is the system of theology that al-lows the Bible to have the “final say” most consistently. Whereas Dispensationalism stands on presuppositions pro-vided by its beloved Scofield Bible and Covenant Theology stands on presuppositions provided by its cherished West-minster Confession, New Covenant Theology does not have any outside document that must be imposed on the text of Scripture. It strives to let the Sacred Text speak on its own terms.

What is New Covenant Theology? An Introduction

One of the fundamental hermeneutical tenets of New Covenant Theology is that we should learn how to approach the Old Testament from Jesus and the Apostles. This basic principle needs to be worked out and demonstrated by examining text after text. This little book is offered to that end. It examines the promises given to Abraham in light of the book of Galatians. I hope and pray it is illuminating and points the reader to the marvelous work Jesus Christ has accomplished.
