Weekend Reading

The Faith Once Delivered Ed. Anthony T. Selvaggio,
Essays in Honor of Dr. Wayne R. Spear
(P&R, 2007).

What a delightful read this book is proving to be. A collection of essays on the theology of the Westminster Confession written by dear friends in honor a similarly dear friend. The writers include Richard Gaffin, Joel Beeke, Rowland Ward. Richard Gamble and D. G. Hart, to name some. Bob Godfrey writes a foreward and Carl Trueman introduced us to the news that this is to be one of a series of volumes published by Craig Center in conjunction with P & R. At present I am reading Trueman's chapter on James Buchanan's Doctrine of Justification. It is a tour de force, as much about nineteenth century Victorian Britain as it is about the reformed exposition of justification as Buchanan expounds it. Riveting and immensely enjoyable.
