NEW RELEASE – The Imitation of Christ in the Gospel of Luke

Posted on by Kim

The Imitation of Christ in the Gospel of Luke: Growing in Christlike Love for God and Neighbor written by C. D. Jimmy Agan III

  • Pages: 264
  • Price: $17.99
  • Paperback
  • ISBN: 978-1-59638-216-9

Summary: Christians instinctively desire to be like Jesus. Yet evangelical and Reformed thinkers have done little to wed this desire to sound theology and responsible biblical interpretation. With careful attention to Luke’s gospel, this book demonstrates that we can—and must—follow Christ’s example precisely because we embrace him as Savior.

About the Author:

C. D. Jimmy Agan III (B.A., Clemson University; M.Div., Covenant Theological Seminary; Ph.D., Aberdeen University) is Professor of New Testament and Director of Homiletics at Covenant Theological Seminary.

 

 

What Other Are Saying About This Book:

“Jimmy Agan makes a convincing case for deep reflection on Jesus’ example, leading to sustained effort to be like him. Agan flags the dangers of the imitation-of-Christ project. But he maps us past the risks, with Scripture as GPS and conformity to Christ as destination. Engrossing and stirring, this is the finest succinct statement on the subject in recent times.” —Robert W. Yarbrough, Professor of New Testament, Covenant Theological Seminary

“Agan clearly shows us in what ways Jesus is unique as the Divine Son—and thus is not a pattern for us to imitate. And the author tells us in what ways Jesus is fully human—and thus is our perfect example of human life as God meant it to be. Agan’s pastoral wisdom, sympathy for the struggles we face as Christians, and conversational writing style bring the fruit of his scholarship on Luke to a level that any serious Christian can understand.” —Donald Fairbairn, Robert E. Cooley Professor of Early Christianity, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary

“Imitation of Christ—a topic that is of profound importance, but has nonetheless been besieged by theological questions among well-intentioned scholars—is here presented in a way that is both deeply rooted in the pages of the New Testament and yet also eminently accessible to the contemporary reader. This is the work of a scholar who is also a convinced and gifted communicator.” —Andrew Clarke, Senior Lecturer, Divinity and Religious Studies, King’s College, University of Aberdeen

NEW RELEASE – Discovering the Joy of a Clear Conscience

Posted on by Kim

Discovering the Joy of a Clear Conscience written by Christopher Ash

  • Pages: 208
  • Price: $12.99
  • Paperback
  • ISBN: 978-1-59638-703-4

Summary: Conscience is a neglected word that not many of us take seriously. But have you ever considered examining your conscience as part of daily life? What if doing this were the only way to know the joy of feeling clean inside?

Is such joy possible without self-righteousness or even self-deception? Christopher Ash argues that it is, wonderfully possible, through the good news of Jesus Christ. Here is an invitation to rediscover your conscience and what the Bible has to say about it. Ash examines what the conscience is, what a guilty conscience tells us, the choice our conscience presents us, and the conscience’s role as a guide, to offer us the pure joy of a clear conscience day after day

About the Author:

Christopher Ash is director of the Cornhill Training Course at The Proclamation Trust—an organization with the primary aim of training preachers and Bible teachers. Previously he served on the pastoral staff of the historic St. Andrew the Great in Cambridge, England.

 

What Are Others Saying About This Book?

“Christopher Ash has done us a great service in writing Discovering the Joy of a Clear Conscience.  After serving as a pastor and biblical counselor for 27 years now, I found myself saying, ‘Yes, this is exactly what so many people are struggling with.’ . . . Gives a simple and biblical path that can lead confused, hurting, and guilt-ridden people back to the grace of God and the hope of the gospel.” – Brad Bigney, Senior Pastor, Grace Fellowship Church, Florence, Kentucky; Author, Gospel Treason: Betraying the Gospel with Hidden Idols

“How refreshing to see a thoughtful and richly biblical book on the conscience. Christopher Ash performs a vital service for the church by opening up God’s truth about this neglected and therefore misunderstood area of biblical truth.” – Tedd Tripp, Pastor, Author, Conference Speaker

A Brief History of P&R

Posted on by Kim

In 1930, Samuel G. Craig and several others including J. Gresham Machen and James Schrader, founded a new publishing company – Presbyterian and Reformed Publishing. P&R started out by publishing a periodical called Christianity Today. Later, P&R began publishing books when Samuel Craig’s best friend, Oswald T. Allis needed a publisher for his two manuscripts.

Below, the first two books published by P&R and written by author Oswald T. Allis: The Five Books of Moses (Left), Oswald Allis (center), and Prophecy and the Church (right):

“Dr. Allis had two manuscripts ready for publication: his authoritative defense of the Mosaic authorship of the Pentateuch, The Five Books of Moses, and Prophecy and the Church, a classic critique of dispensationalism . . . Dr. Allis, having some difficulty finding a suitable publisher, discussed the problem with my father . . . At some time in their discussion they became aware that the charter and bylaws of Christianity Today were broad enough to permit the publication of books. So as an experiment it was decided to publish these two books. The result was highly gratifying and the Presbyterian and Reformed Publishing Company was on its way.”

—Charles H. Craig, son of Samuel G. Craig
