The battle of the Protestant Reformation was waged over this primary question: How does a sinful person get right with a just God? At the heart of it, the Reformers contended that sinners are justified (declared righteous) by God through faith alone in Jesus Christ. While Martin Luther is often credited with re-discovering the doctrine of justification, it was Calvin who more fully explored the depths of this doctrine, giving it a thorough treatment in his magisterial work, Institutes of the Christian Religion. In this volume, Nate Pickowicz has selected out and edited Calvin's treatment on justification-the marrow of Reformation doctrine.

Baptist leader Andrew Fuller (1754-1815) deals with the issue of backsliding: when genuine Christians lose their passion for Christ and his kingdom. This was not a theoretical issue for Fuller, therefore, and his words, weighty when he first wrote them, are still worthy of being pondered-and acted upon. Included as an appendix is a poetic application of dealing with such a backslidden heart, written by Samuel Pearce (1766-1799) a close friend and co-labourer for Christ with Fuller. This updated edition is co-published by The Andrew Fuller Center for Baptist Studies at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Mather asserts in this timeless sermon that it is not enough to simply say that you are a Christian; there must be evidence seen in the manner by which Christian lives his life. Mather refers to this as the "walk of a Christian" which is accomplished by imitating the "walk" of Jesus Christ. This sermon is divided into two parts; first, the means by which we imitate Christ and secondly, the areas in which we are to pursue the imitation of Christ. More than a self-help book of steps to attain the walk of a Christian, Mather instructs the reader in how Christ is our example and the virtues, or character qualities that should be developed in the believer as the walk of the Lord Jesus Christ is imitated.

The Calamy family was a prominent family in English Nonconformity from the period of Stuart Puritanism down to the Victorian era. The most famous of the family is Edmund Calamy III (1671-1732), who was an English Presbyterian churchman and historian. Ordained at the London meeting-house of Samuel Annesley, the Presbyterian grandfather of John Wesley, Calamy served Christ faithfully in London during the first third of the eighteenth century. This booklet by the historian-pastor Alan Clifford is a celebration of Calamy's life and ministry on the 350th anniversary of his birth.
