Institutes of the Christian Religion
John Calvin
1509-1564
|
|
Calvin was one of the first Reformers to publish a systematic theology. In it,
you see much of Calvin's devotion to Scripture,his love for Christ, and his
careful reasoning. The "Institutes" are a classic in Christian literature, and
are available in an affordable 2-volume paperback set.
Highly recommended!

The Christian faith is God's life-giving message to his people. Over the
centuries Christians have cherished the precious heritage recorded in the Holy
Scriptures. The same gospel is as powerful today to give us life as it ever was
before. Through the knowledge of God's truth, we find peace with God, spiritual
wisdom and the hope of eternal life. The main topics discussed are the Bible,
the Trinity, Creation and Fall of Man, Jesus Christ, Salvation, the Holy
Spirit, Justification, Sanctification, the Church, Baptism and Lord's Supper,
and Future Things.

Sola Scriptura
The Protestant Position on the Bible
Don Kistler
Beeke, Ferguson Godfrey, Lanning MacArthur, Sproul Thomas, White

In this book, several leading Reformed pastors and scholars unpack the meaning
of the Doctrine of sola Scriptura ("Scripture alone"). They also explain
where the attacks on the Bible are coming from and show how those who accept
the Bible as God's inspired Word should respond.
Very Highly Recommended!
