  Texture Of Truth

  $18.75

  Print on demand
  We live in an age that increasingly flirts with a new paganism. As new systems of theological belief clamor for accommodation within the church, Christianity’s time-tested confessional heritage is abandoned. Deviant thought forms trickle down from the pulpit to weaken worshipers whose grounds of belief are already faltering. Douglas Vickers addresses this situation in The Texture of Truth by calling the church back to cardinal doctrines that have historically emboldened the Christian faith. Here, in straightforward terms that address the worshiper in the pew, is a sound articulation of what Dr. Vickers aptly refers to as “essential theology in the life and walk of faith.”

  The imperatives of Christian doctrine, soundly understood and held in biblical proportion, will enrich the meaning of the Christian life and the believer’s progress in sanctification. The Texture of Truth addresses the doctrine of God, Scripture, the divine covenants, creation and the Fall, the person of Christ and his redemptive offices, the application of redemption, and the place of the Christian in the church and the world.

  Divine Redemption And The Refuge Of Faith

  $22.50

  Print on demand title
  Time-honored Reformation theology is being discounted today as new perspectives challenge old verities. The need to return to biblical foundations is urgent. In Divine Redemption and the Refuge of Faith, Douglas Vickers addresses the pressing questions: Who is Jesus Christ? What is the human condition? And in what respect is that human condition addressed by the presence of Jesus Christ in the world? In lucid and arresting terms, answers are developed from the basic theses that structured Reformation thought:- the claim of Athanasius that it was the self-existing Second person of the Godhead who came as Jesus Christ;- the claim of Augustine that the human will was bound in sin as a result of Adam’s fall; and- the claim of Anselm that Christ’s atonement provided a necessary and complete satisfaction for sin.Divine Redemption and the Refuge of Faith provides a biblical-theological corrective to contemporary doctrinal deviations. If you are looking for a clear-headed, sure-footed, and warm-hearted guide on the most basic, cardinal issues of Christianity in every age, read this book repeatedly. It will enable you to think through a host of doctrines, issues, and positions in a world that is groping in the dark for truth.

  Christian Confession And The Crackling Thorn

  $22.50

  Print on demand title
  What is man, and what relationship does man have to God? Was man always as he is now? Is there no escape from our headlong descent into misery, brutality, enslavement to sin, death, and eternal darkness? Is there any sure guide, any solid ground for hope, any light which the darkness of this world cannot overcome?Professor Vickers’s answers to such questions are a welcome addition to the literature of Christian apologetics. His approach is clearly rooted in the writings of Cornelius Van Til, formerly professor of apologetics at Westminster Theological Seminary.

  Like Van Til, Vickers presents his Reformed convictions in large, biblical terms that offer a positive challenge, sure to engage the hearts and minds of Christians from many backgrounds.Christian Confession and the Crackling Thorn scripturally and intelligently defends the old and yet ever new imperatives of the Christian faith and provides intellectual and spiritual fiber to defend that faith with unbelieving friends and associates. It is recommended first to believers who wish to answer the call of the apostle Peter to be ready always “to give answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you.” It is also recommended to the non-Christian reader, whose interest may only be to know what today’s Christians may have to say, or who, at a deeper level, desires to share in the hope that is unique to the Christian faith.
