Obedient Faith: A Festschrift for Norman Shepherd

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (12958 ratings)

Description:Norman Shepherd is a calm, deliberate man. His sermons are not flamboyant, and his writings are not scintillating. The Dutch Reformed tradition in which he was nourished theologically has impressed on him the trait of a dispassionate expression. He is not a polemicist. He writes and preaches simply, clearly, and pastorally. On the face of it he seems a most unlikely candidate for theological controversy. Yet he is certainly among the most controversial figures in the conservative Reformed world in the United Stats over the last 35 years.His influence is not thought to rank with his Calvinist contemporaries as J. I. Packer, John Piper, and R. C. Sproul. Yet in the end it may be Shepherd's distinctive views that prove to be the more lasting and influential. Those views spring from his recovery of the older Reformed idea of the covenant as the overarching theme of the Bible and of the church and the Christian life. This festschrift contains chapters by theologians and pastors indebted to Shepherd for his godly influence and uncompromising stand for an obedient faith. It contains an enlightening chapter on the "Shepherd Controversy" at Westminster Seminary and Shepherd's own explanation of his theological development.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
