Meditations on the Larger Catechism, pt. 2
Danny Hyde

“What is the chief and highest end of man?” This is our ultimate question and should be the heartbeat of who we are, thinking of it daily. This is what it is all about as a Christian. To have a “chief end” means that we were made for something, that we have a main purpose in life. And we have a “highest end,” among the many goals and accomplishments of our lives.

 
 
 
Book Review: Herman Bavinck by Gleason
VFT

What I knew of Herman Bavinck prior to reading this volume came solely from his Reformed Dogmatics. Gleason’s work encompasses all aspects of Bavinck, as indicated in the subtitle.

 
 
 
WSC Book Soon to be Released!
VFT

Keep your eyes peeled (I know, as painful as that might be). There's a new book soon to be released later this summer: Westminster Seminary California--A New Old School, written by W. Robert Godfrey and D. G. Hart. This book has been in the works for a number of years and tells the history of the seminary. Recently there have been some who claim to know what the seminary is all about, but such purported "histories" reveal more about the critic than they do the seminary.

I am thankful for the invitation to contribute to the Valiant for Truth blog. In the series that follows, I will be offering Meditations on the Larger Catechism, which will include exposition and application of this wonderful statement of Christian teaching from our Reformed Protestant tradition.

 
 
 
Book Review: Through Western Eyes by Letham
VFT

Western interest in the Eastern Orthodox Church is growing. Some enjoy its experiential liturgical worship; others appreciate its connection to ancient tradition. Reformed Christians might benefit from its distinction between God’s essence and energies.
