Jonathan Edwards And Hell
'Theologians of the past can often point the way ahead into the future. Christopher Morgan's comprehensive survey of the annihilation debate and his clear exposition of Edwards' views are a valuable resource for those defending biblical teaching regarding eternal punishment.'

Calvin's Teaching on Job
The publication of Derek Thomas' doctoral research on Calvin's sermons on the Book of Job provides a valuable resource to both the Genevan Reformer and a difficult OT book. Thomas examines Calvin's work not only in a scholarly way, but also in a spiritthat will promote the preaching of this neglected book of Scripture. His preaching of a book which has so much to say to the people of God as they endure trials is most valuable, and in Derek Thomas we have an able guide to Calvin's work.

Christians in a Consumer Culture
In this short but hard-hitting book John Benton exposes the evils of "consumerism", the extreme form of materialism which embraces all of our senses and which exploits the vast range of choices provided for consumers by modern technologies. Whilst emphasising that the material world, as God's good creation, is not evil in itself, Benton shows how the Church at so many points has sold out to the attractions of consumerism, and so has lost much of its spiritual power. Issues covered include Postmodernism, the cult of self, and, in a particularly helpful chapter, the role of the media. As Benton demonstrates, for many Christians "choice" has replaced "commitment" to a fully biblical lifestyle. This is not the book for you if you like to be left feeling warm and comfortable by your reading, but it is a book most of us need to read and heed.

The Stone That Became a Mountain
"The subtitle says it all: "Getting it RIGHT about the Kingdom of God". Bewes provides a popular exposition of the Bible's teaching on the vital theme of the Kingdom (or Reign) of God. Beginning with Daniel's vision of the stone cut out by the hand of God, which fills the whole earth, Bewes traces the unfolding of the Kingdom through to the glorious consummation depicted at the end of Revelation. Rightly the focus is on the King, Christ crucified and risen in victory. Bewes writes in a very readable style, with plenty of illustration and application, and this short book will give readers a good introduction to the "big picture" of God's redemptive purpose worked out through King Jesus."

Calvin and the Sabbath
This is a most interesting study, and, incidentally, a reminder that no mere man is our ultimate authority for belief or practice.
