Tom Wells writes with the conviction that when it comes to cross-cultural mission, Christians must cmoe back to first principles. Humand need and world conditions are not the starting point. The gospel is a call to know and worship God, and the primary conviction of the messenger must begin with the vision of God.

Few Christian leaders since the Reformation have been as gifted as Jonathan Edwards. A man of intense personal devotion to Christ, he was a leader of revival, and a creative Reformed theologian as well as being a missionary and a philosopher fully meriting Hugh Martin's description of him as 'that greatest of metaphysical divines'. Yet it is likely that he would have preferred to be remembered simply as 'pastor of the Church of Northampton'. P...

Here, in this comprehensive study, the late Dr Noel Weeks brought his multi-disciplinary learning to bear on the question of the sufficiency of Scripture. Older distinctions between fundamentalist and modernist, evangelical and liberal, have become obsol...

Fewer are aware of their mutual friend and colleague, Alexander Moody Stuart (1809-1898), who was nonetheless an esteemed and influential minister, standing firmly, like his friends, in the Reformed tradition of his forebears. He was, among other things: - a pioneer rural missioner, - a clear and searching preacher, - a capable church planter, - a much-loved pas...
