Full Bible Theology is, in essence, that the entire Bible is to be preached and applied to every aspect of one's existence.

By David Robertson, Minister, St. Peter's Free Church of Scotland, Dundee, Scotland - republished with permission from David's Blog on the St. Peter's website: http://www.stpeters-dundee.org.uk/node/190 . This is an updated version of an article I wrote a number of years ago on the Free Church website. It received a lot of comments, especially from some Southern Baptists friends, whose website was critiqued in the article. They were very gracious and said it had helped them. I am very thankful for those Americans who have come to help us in Scotland. I want to see more - which is why the ...
Full Restitution Exodus 20:15; Deuteronomy 5:19 “You shall not steal.” Exodus 22:6 “If fire breaks out and catches in thorns so that the stacked grain or the standing grain or the field is consumed, he who started the fire shall make full restitution.” How many times have I done or said something that hurt Susie deeply? Too many to count, I’m sure. Not that I ever intend to hurt her. I’m nuts about this woman, and I wouldn’t lift a finger to hurt her if it meant my life. But I’ve done it anyway, over and over. Then, as it begins to come out ...

. American history was once a vital part of American schools. However, it has been increasingly shifted to a more minor role. It has been argued that we are neglecting the historical in seeking to stress math and science. In the 1940s and 1950s, American history was very important. Our founding fathers were honored, and we proudly saluted our flag and pledged allegiance. Patriotism was a goal! Now American history is only touched upon, since the public schools combine history with the social sciences, creating a relative ignorance about our national heritage. American history is recorded all over Europe, with ...

As the sub-title indicates, The Reformed Faith of John Calvin is a summary (not an abridgment) in one volume of John Calvin’s Institutes of the Christian Religion. In a succinct, systematic way, the book sets forth the essence of the great Reformer’s teachings in his Institutes on all the truths of the Christian Religion. Throughout, this sum of Calvin’s explanation and defense of the truths of the Christian faith is either expressed, or supported, by quotations of Calvin. The book is full of quotations from the Institutes (in the judgment of the author, the most important and vivid statements of Calvin),so that the reader hears Calvin himself. One who reads this book will know the Institutes and its comprehensive, powerful instruction in the Reformed faith—the faith of the sixteenth century Reformation of the church. The book is more than a summary. It also gives brief explanation of certain of Calvin’s teachings,offers analysis of Calvin’s doctrine, applies the Reformer’s teachings to contemporary doctrinal issues, and even, rarely, becomes so bold as to criticize Calvin’s doctrine. At every point, the book provides exact reference to the Institutes in the accepted scholarly fashion, so that the reader can readily compare the summary with Calvin’s own presentation, or, being stimulated, read further concerning a particular doctrine in Calvin’s great work. Many seminarians, pastors, elders, and laity, perhaps, even a theologian or two, although desirous of learning the content of the Institutes, are put off from reading it by the sheer size of the massive, two-volume work, or are hindered by the demands of their calling. This summary will supply their want and, it is hoped, motivate them to read the Institutes itself. David J. Engelsma is emeritus Professor of Dogmatics and Old Testament Studies at the Protestant Reformed Theological Seminary in Grandville, Michigan.
