New Title Saturday

Yesterday we posted an article on the new book by Sam Waldron, MacArthur’s Millennial Manifesto: A Friendly Response. Along with this title, RHB has brought in several New Titles. Here are a few more for you to look at.

Concerning Scandal: Concerning Scandal in General, Public Scandals, Scandalous Errors, & Scandalous Divisions

James Durham’s classic work has been considered one of his most insightful and helpful books. Durham explains the various offenses, private and public, that Christians commit against each other and the methods necessary in repairing the relationship. Of particular interest is a lengthy treatment of the minister’s duty toward those seduced to error, where the four steps of discovery, conviction, admonition and rejection of an heretic are discussed.

Religion Our True Interest

This work consists of Watson’s notes on Malachi 3:16-18. It offers helful teaching on religious conversation, God-centered thinking, God’s disposition toward his people, and the fear of God, which Watson defines as “reverencing and adoring God’s holiness, and setting ourselves always under His sacred inspection.” This book is rich fare for the encouraging, enlightening, and admonishing of believers.

The Scottish Exile Community in the Netherlands 1660-1690

This book brings to life the Scottish Presbyterian community forced into Dutch exile after 1660 and triumphantly repatriated as a result of the ‘Glorious’ Revolution. By examining its interaction with other elements of Dutch society and the attitude of the British authorities towards it, the author concludes that it remained a distinct part of the Scots expatriate population, unable, because of its circumstances, to integrate fully into Dutch life.

Calvin’s Preaching

This study of John Calvin’s sermons gives a complete review of Calvin’s preaching activity, purpose, method, and style. Included are the theological considerations that moved Calvin to preach the way he did’ his view of the preacher’s office, his duty, and the congregations active participation; an historical account of the preservation of his sermons; Calvin’s expository method and the way he applied scripture to the needs of the congregation; and the form of the sermons and the “familiar” style that he employed.
