“It leaves room for different Christians to worship in ways consistent with their traditions and culture, yet also calls us to ensure that, no matter what, our worship is ‘shaped and governed by the Word of God’ ” - Challies

“At the turn of the 19th century, however, a decisive shift started. Baptists shed the sacramentology of their ancestors, embracing an exclusively memorialistic understanding of the Supper.” - TGC

“In what follows, I lay out my two main reservations: the first concerns how Craig interprets the early chapters of Genesis, and the second how he interprets the apostolic testimony.” - TGC

“Williams has probably written the best introductory primer that covers all the major justice issues of the day. With a biblical framework and careful use of logic, he demonstrates how to approach issues of justice with godly discernment.” - Eikon

“many Christians get hung up on the most powerful technologists in the world who are inventing the most threatening innovation on earth…. Reckoning with God’s power over big tech is essential for many Christians who must resolve this obstacle before they can see and worship God for the tens of thousands of innovations they use every day.” - Ref21

“Natural theologians believe that the book of nature reveals to human reason aspects of the divine creator that point to the one true God, while freely confessing that only the book of scripture reveals to human faith the gospel by which alone we can be saved.” - Ref21

“We hold historically orthodox views on sexuality….Frankly, we approached the book with significant skepticism. However, we also must confess that as we read the book, some of our skepticism dissipated. We found much of it pleasantly surprising.” - TGC

“Definition and delineation are never done once and for all….Changes in society and changes in the theological world require that definition and delineation be carried on—and that is what Michael Reeves has attempted in Gospel People.” - TGC

“Power is not a bad thing. It is not a neutral thing, either. It is, first, in the Christian view, a good thing, a God-created thing…. Without power, there will be no glorious eternal reign of the one to whom all power on heaven and on earth will be given. Power brings good to others.” - Mark Ward

“Lewis lacks sympathy for his subjects, but perhaps more to the point he applies a sociological lens instead of a theological one….he fails to understand the Christians who support a Jewish homeland because he fails to understand them theologically.” - DBTS
