The epistle to the Hebrews is one of the more difficult books of the Bible to interpret. Yet it is important to study, primarily because it helps us to understand the relation between the Old and New Testaments. Those who sometimes struggle with the interpretation, but who nevertheless persevere, will find in Hebrews the rich fruit of learning and edification. The main theme of Hebrews is the relation between the Old Testament and the New Test...

The 1960s were years of challenges to the infallibility and inspiration of scripture. These attacks were precipitated by the increasingly popular theory of evolution, which was making inroads into Reformed churches and schools. In contradiction to this creeping heresy and in unequivocal defense of the doctrine of scripture, the Reformed Free Publishing Association published In the Beginning God.Since then the conflict between creation and evol...

Christians want to know Christ from the Old Testament, from Micah, and the other minor prophets. And yet for many of us the minor prophets are like a sealed book. The inspired writing of the minor prophets are addressed to the people of God and addressed to us also in the New Testament church. As inspired scripture they indeed speak of Christ: Micah does so extensively, and not only in the obvious reference to Bethlehem in chapter 5:2.The prop...

Less Than the Least is the memoirs of Rev. Cornelius Hanko's long, fruitful life of nearly a century (1907-2005).

Bush.Son of Dutch immigrants to America, Rev. Hanko served six pastorates in five states, most not...

Many people are familiar with the public persona of Herman Hoeksema. As one of the leading theologians of the twentieth century, a seminary professor, the pastor of a large congregation, and a prolific writer, he was well-known in ecclesiastical circles, as well as in the world in general. But to his family he was "just Dad." This anecdotal biography written by his youngest child records many stories about him, some perhaps familiar but others...

Although this book's controversial contention that marriage is an unbreakable bond for life gets the most attention today (which is a testimony both to the sad state of the churches today and to the necessity of the book), the book is a mainly positive explanation and application of the Bible's teaching about marriage in all of marriage's aspects.Fundamentally, Marriage The Mystery of Christ and the Church is a Reformed pastor's instruction an...

The author's narrative recounts the reformation of the church in 1834, when Hendrik de Cock witnessed against the false doctrines and unspiritual character of the state Reformed church of the Netherlands. After having been unceremoniously suspended and deposed from office, he led his congregation to return to the biblical worship of God in Christ Jesus as set forth in the Reformed creeds, which represents the faith of God's saints throughout t...

Today the central doctrine of the Reformation-justification by faith alone-is under attack, even by many in historically Reformed and Presbyterian denominations. Under the guise of a "new perspective on Paul, " revisionist theologians are resurrecting the old heresy of justification by faith and works. They give this a new name-the federal vision. But it is nothing else than the error of the Judaizers that Paul condemns in the Epistle to the G...

We're bombarded with antichristian messages everywhere in life, and from casual hookups to casual sex, our culture's messages on dating are no different.But Christians don't have to follow these norms. The Bible gives us a better way.It's a way of chastity and wisdom. A way that understands that marriage-the end goal of dating-is for life. The person you marry will shape who you become spiritually. And that person will also be the father or mo...

A few days before Jesus gave his life on the cross, his disciples asked, "What shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?" (Matt. 24:3). Christ responded with the Olivet Discourse, a detailed teaching on the doctrine of the last things.We need to understand the signs of Christ's coming for our comfort as we look for "that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ" (Titus 2:13).Chr...

Convinced that instruction on marriage is for God's youth early on, Pastor Cory Griess has provided a distinctive devotional aid for family worship. Parents, do not delay! Before our children enter the dating scene, where feelings tend to inhibit clear Christian thought, we must ground them now in scriptural principles. The youth of the church will soon make pivotal decisions in their dating years that will permanently affect their married liv...

Those were the Dark Ages, the days of knights and castles and kings and queens, of monasteries, Vikings, and monks. But one monk stood out from all the rest. One monk stood firm for the truth he believed though few stood with him. This is the story of Gottschalk of Orbais, a light of truth in the darkness of his age-a light of truth in ours.

The believers James is writing to faced many problems as they made the transition from the Old Testament to the New Testament.

A salient ...

AD 2017 marks the five-hundredth anniversary of the Reformation of the church of Jesus Christ. In 1517 the Reformer Martin Luther affixed the ninety-five theses to the door of the church in Wittenberg, Germany, the act by which Jesus Christ began his reformation of his church. Essential to this Reformation was the gospel-truth of justification by faith alone. This book on justification is intended by the Reformed Free Publishing Association an...

Some professing Christians deny the necessity of church membership. Others join a church for unsubstantial reasons or leave a church for trivial, often selfish reasons. Many remain members of apostatizing churches because of family or traditional ties. Some Christians find themselves in areas or countries where no true church exists or can be formed. They ask, sometimes in anguish, "What must we do?"Seemingly forgotten today is the truth that ...

It explains the Confession, article by article, doctrine by doctrine.Volume two begins with the Confession's opening article on the doctrine of salvation, continues...

How many Christians can confidently say that they have "mastered" the art of prayer? Probably no one.What is blessedly refreshing about Professor Hanko's work, When You Pray, is his admission that none of us is good at prayer-including himself-yet over the years of one's life, the author assures us, a person can make progress in praying.Professor Hanko shares with his readers homely yet highly meaningful lessons he learned from growing up in a...

The epistle to the Romans, written by Paul from Corinth, has four main purposes. First, Paul's purpose was to set forth in a clear and logical manner the major Christian doctrines, with emphasis on the doctrine of justification by faith alone. Second, he intends to strengthen the church in its hope. Third, he instructs the mixed Jewish and Gentile church at Rome concerning the rejection of the Jews as a nation and the inclusion of the Gentiles...
