Celebrating the First Fifty Years of Reformed Theological Seminary God is faithful. It is with sincere gratitude that we give thanks to the Lord for his faithful provision for Reformed Theological Seminary for these past 50 years. Born of a concern for the fidelity of the Southern Presbyterian Church to the inerrancy of Scripture and to the historic Reformed faith, RTS was founded in 1966 in Jackson, Mississippi— a city that is still home to the original
campus. It was a handful of faithful men who came together with the singular purpose of preparing ministers who fully embraced the Bible as the only rule of faith and practice and who would faithfully preach and teach the whole counsel of God and a Reformed understanding of his Word. That...
This anthology celebrates Mount Desert Island in its golden age, the late nineteenth century, when it was a summer playground for wealthy out-of-staters, and most importantly to many, a place for the rich to meet their future husbands and wives. This special era in Maine history spawned a new genre of fiction that was known as the Bar Harbor Novel-romance stories about the rich falling in and out of love during their summer sojourns. Dramatic and romantic, these short novels helped intensify the area's popularity. The eleven pieces in this collection include those by the great Constance Harrison, Marion Crawford, Edward Church, and Ervin Wardman.
Cornelius Van Til (1895-1987), who taught apologetics at Westminster Theological Seminary for more than forty years, has—through his teaching and writings—called two generations of thinkers to a Christian worldview and a biblical defense of the faith.

This biography locates Van Til in the context of twentieth-century Presbyterian and Reformed ecclesiastical struggles in America, including the formation of Westminster Seminary and the Orthodox Presbyterian Church, the rise of neo-evangelicalism and American expressions of Barthianism, and post-World War II...
Seeking a Better Country is a readable and lively survey of American Presbyterianism since its founding in 1706. Its aim is not to celebrate but to understand how Presbyterians formed one of the largest and most influential denominations in the United States, and to identify historical developments that led to Presbyterian decline.
"Reformed Christians," write D. G. Hart and John R. Muether, "are increasingly divided over how they ought to worship their God," a situation they regard as urgent. Drawing on Scripture and Reformed confessions and catechisms, the authors answer such questions as these: When are we to worship? How does the regulative principle guide our worship? How does the dialogical principle shape our worship? How do we worship with reverence and joy? What is the place of the means of grace? How do the elements of worship differ from its circumstances? Finally the authors tackle "the most divisive issue"-music.
