The Standard Bearer: A Festschrift for Greg L. Bahnsen

Dr. Greg L. Bahnsen, one of the most effective Christian apologists of the 20th century, consistently underscored the abiding authority of the word of God and the requirement to apply it to all of life. In addition to apologetics, his seminal work, "Theonomy in Christian Ethics", is still challenging the church to honor all of God's word as the only perfect standard of righteousness. Known for his rigorous logic and theological depth, Dr. Bahnsen's scholarship and teaching always delivered sixteen ounces to the pound. His intellectual gifts and debating skills won many devoted friends - andfoes. The hard work of theological precision is rarely accomplished without controversy. Nevertheless, Bahnsen's love for Christ and His church enabled him to press on through the inevitable battles. Bearing the stanrd of God's word as the only inerrant rule by which men must live, Bahnsen stood fast and firm in a day of ethical relativism and ecclesiastical compromise. Each of the contributors to this volume owes a debt of love and gratitude to Dr. Bahnsen not only for the labor and instruction he provided but also for his friendship and affection.
