Aurelius Augustinus, known by us as Augustine of Hippo, was born in AD 354 in a small town in North Africa. His father was a lifelong pagan who was baptized on his deathbed, and his mother was a devout Christian who prayed without ceasing for her wayward son. In time, this child from North...

Augustine’s life, ministry, and theology give us much that is faithful and helpful. Many of his writings, such as The Confessions and The City of God, stand as great classics of Christian literature and theology. B.B. Warfield relates that Augustine “has been strikingly called incomparably the...

Hello all, Since I can't be the only psalmody-lover in a church that dosen't sing the psalms, I thought we could have one thread for anyone who is looking to learn a new tune for a certain psalm or to share lesser-known tunes he found work well for a psalm. This could also be a place to collect...

Of course, we all here agree that the original texts of the Bible (in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek) were inspired by God. And by inspired, I mean that, although written by men, every word is supernaturally inputted by God. But does this necessarily mean that translations of the Bible are also...

I was researching about eschatology on Jeremiah Burroughs, and I found this affirmation about natural theology

There are some older threads that discuss this, but with the improved publication/marketing of the NKJV by Thomas Nelson, do you all think the NKJV has a good prospect of remaining in broad(ish) use for the foreseeable future? I use the ESV, and love it, but I'm slowly drifting back toward more...

Hi, We are still at the beginning of another year by the grace of God! Have you been following any Bible reading/devotional plans? And suggest any? I have a bible reading plan in 6 months, and reading the devotional volume 1 of "Heroes of the Church" (Al Truesdale)

How important is it to study the Bible in my native language (Spanish) in order to achieve a correct grammar-historical interpretation? Thank you in advance

Does anyone have any experience with "Webster's Bible" (published in 1833)? I have become increasingly interested in the man Noah Webster—Founding Father, legislator, lexicographer, and thoroughgoing Calvinist. I am particularly interested in the very light revision he did to the "Common...

"I have long come to the conclusion that men may be more systematic in their statements than the Bible, and may be led into grave error by idolatrous veneration of a system." J.C. Ryle Pithy Gems https://www.gracegems.org/30/short_pithy_gems_from_jc_ryle.htm :)

I have always been interested in comparing Bible translations. And I have always appreciated the American Standard Version (1901). Some of my favorite theologians and pastors use(d) it (e.g., Morton Smith, Greg Bahnsen, and Al Martin). I felt that, as far as study goes, it is very useful...

Hello everyone. I stumbled on Christian Leaders Institute a few years ago (I think), but I quickly lost interest. I stumbled on Christian Leaders Institute again in August of 2020 while I was searching for "free online seminary classes." CLI calls itself a Bible school that offers free...

Yes, plural! https://berean.bible The study translation (BSB) has been finalized and made available online at BibleHub. Print copies are slated for later in the year and the online release of the entire literal translation (BLB) is scheduled for January 2021. The BLB's New Testament draft is...

Morning, I'm not sure how many on the board enjoy the craftsmanship of an heirloom quality Bible, but I've noticed over the past year the prices of premium Bibles have increased substantially. Specifically, the prices of Bibles offered by Cambridge, R.L. Allan, and Schuyler are what I have in...

Happy Lord's Day. I've seen a thread on here that is already closed dealing with reformed Bible Dictionaries but it didn't seem to give a clear-cut answer as to which maybe the top three Reformed Bible dictionaries are. Looking for some insight on this if anyone knows which ones are best. Thanks!

Morning, In God's goodness to me I celebrated another year of life earlier this month and to mark the occasion I purchased a new Bible from Church Bible Publishers (CBP) using the gift cards family sent. I don't have much need for another Bible, but I couldn't resist after listening to my...

I try to read my Bible very broadly and in large chunks in order to help ingrain the overall narrative and arc of the Bible, and over the last few years I have found myself reading mainly out of one particular Bible. However, I love Bibles and have several nice editions and was curious what...

I've noticed a lot of threads on here that seem to believe that Trinity College of the Bible and Theological Seminary is of a lowly caliber and a degree mill. I would have to urgently disagree as someone who attended Calvary Chapel Bible College and transferred into trinity. I finished my BA and...

I bought a Schuyler KJV Canterbury Bible. Brown, Goatskin, made better than "extremely well." No ghosting through the pages, with references at the bottom of the page. The font is a perfect size for me. The drop caps are decorative, and the color of the ink is easy on the eyes. The pages are...

Friends, There is world of great resources on the net that is little taken advantage of. Reformed Books Online now has a page of Bible, theological and Church history dictionaries and encyclopedias that will go far in answering most questions about the Bible and Church history. They just...

I met my girlfriend online back in May. She was living in California at the time and now she moved out here to Boston for work and to try and make things work with me. She is an incredible Christian woman although we disagree on things which I think is a big deal. She continues to say that I am...

So, I didn't really know the best place to put this, so I decided to place it here. Feel free to correct me for the future since I have found a bunch of high quality free downloads of classic commentaries that I plan to give the links to. Anywho, I found many of the works of John Gill available...

Hello brothers and sis! Finally I got The Reformation Study Bible. But it is not the new edition 2015. In my country it costs around 2700 thousand (quite expensive) since it is leather bound. The Reformation bookstore in a nearby city here still doesn't carry the new edition, so its better to have...

What would be some of the best or most popular Puritan commentaries/expositions on Leviticus?

Does anyone know where I can find a reasonably priced physical copy of the French Bible translated by Louis Segond? Thank you.

According to Geneva Bible - The Bible that Changed the World they say, "Recognizing that the Geneva Bible and its notes were undermining the authority of the monarchy, King James I of England commissioned the "Authorized Version," commonly known as the King James Bible, as its replacement. The...

Brothers and Sisters, Is it common for your congregation to read the Word during services with a smartphone or tablet or some other device with a screen? For me, I have a tablet that has the Bible on it but have never felt right to bring it to Church. As technology grows, will our...

Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels fought back, -Revelation 12:7 Did Edwards and Calvin believe that Michael is Jesus? Satan has ever had a peculiar enmity against the Son of God. Probably his first rebellion, which...
