In his latest book installment of his Foundational Tool for Our Faith series, The Nicene Creed (Crossway, 2025), Kevin DeYoung analyzes the Nicene Creed and explains its theological and historical significance. He declares, “Without exaggeration it can be said that every church and every Christian ought to know the Nicene Creed (p. 9).” His approach … Continue reading Book Review: The Nicene Creed (Kevin DeYoung)
In our recent RFTG Ministry Update I shared that my family has made the decision to join the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA), which is part of the global Anglican tradition. This may prompt questions from some who may wonder why I would leave the Baptist tradition considering it was the tradition in which … Continue reading Why Anglicanism? (Part One)
Dear readers, As you may have noticed, we have not posted any new content in the past few months. We have had several comments on that subject, and I would like to address that here. As the founder and editor of Reading For The Glory, the majority of the content that we have produced over … Continue reading RFTG Ministry Update
We live in a very divided age. Yet, this should not surprise us because, wherever there is human civilization and at least two differing opinions there will inevitably be divisions. In any given society there will be division politically, socially, economically, ideologically, morally, and religiously, etc. Unfortunately, the division doesn’t stop with the culture at … Continue reading What Should We Do When Doctrine Divides the People of God?
In recent years, in evangelical circles, much talk has centered around the idea of “theological triage”. The term has been credited to Dr. Albert Mohler, though the concept has been around for a long time. In a divided age, unfortunately even many Christians fall into dispute over a difference of opinion. This is made worse … Continue reading Is Every Hill One Worth Dying On?
This year was a great year for books! There were many excellent books released in 2023 that prove helpful for followers of Jesus to think biblically. RFTG is only able to review and recommend a tiny fraction of the many books that were released this year. However, we thought it would be helpful to release … Continue reading RFTG Best Books of 2023
As we celebrate the 506th anniversary of Martin Luther nailing his 95 Theses on the church door in Wittenberg, we look back on the legacy of the movement he started. One of those legacies is the Reformed system of theology that was distilled by another reformer John Calvin in his classic work Institutes of the … Continue reading Theology Must Drive Us to Worship
When Peter Williams announces a forthcoming book, it’s an automatic preorder for me. I can’t think of an author that I’m more excited to read these days. You might not be familiar with Dr. Williams or his work. He is the principal and CEO of Tyndale House, Cambridge — one of the most prestigious Bible … Continue reading What the Gospels Reveal about the World’s Greatest Teacher
“Our goal is to explore how human reasoning depends on God,” states the Introduction to Redeeming Reason: A God Centered Approach, by Vern Poythress (Crossway, 2023). In 157 pages, the author builds his case that human reasoning is a reflection of the relationships within the Trinity. Although not a theology book, it relies on insights … Continue reading How Human Reason Depends On God
Knowing God. This is the single most important need of the human heart. Yet all of mankind is fallen, and we cannot know God apart from his revelation. But God. These two words thunder through the pages of the Bible, and lavish grace on sinners. God in his rich mercy has made a way for … Continue reading The Life-Changing Grace of Knowing God
Attending a Baptist seminary, I became familiar with Leon McBeth’s book A Baptist Heritage. The 800+ page text teaches one about Baptist history while sharing insights about other denominations. Sure, it has its flaws, but no book is perfect. Despite its imperfections, it would be great if each Christian denomination had texts summarizing its history, like A … Continue reading The Heritage of Anglican Theology
