  • Does the Center Hold? by Keith Mathison

    FROM TABLETALK | February 2009

    If I have heard it once, I’ve heard it a thousand times: “A Calvinist evangelist? Isn’t that an oxymoron? Calvinism undermines evangelism.” This accusation has been repeated so many times that few make the effort to argue it …Read More

  • Be Prepared by Philip Ryken

    FROM TABLETALK | August 2008

    Make no mistake: there is an aggressive new atheism in America. The new unbelievers are eager to win people to their cause. Not content simply to disbelieve in God for themselves, they want to persuade other people not to believe …Read More

  • The Unspeakable Privilege by John Cobb

    FROM TABLETALK | May 2008

    FROM TABLETALK | November 2008

  • A Holy Calling by Chris Donato

    FROM TABLETALK | October 2008

  • Turning the World Right Side Up by D. James Kennedy

    FROM TABLETALK | November 2005

  • Reforming Our Mission by Albert Mohler

    FROM TABLETALK | October 2005

    Looking across the landscape of evangelicalism, the most common misperception and criticism of Reformed theology is that it is incompatible with a high commitment to evangelism and missions. Even the slightest theological understanding and historical perspective should prevent such confusion …Read More

  • Sophisticated Lady by R.C. Sproul Jr.

    FROM TABLETALK | June 2004

  • Family Religion by Melton Duncan

    FROM TABLETALK | June 2007
