If this material is studied carefully, the reader will encounter an excellent and diverse array of writings that touch on this subject. 230 pages Published 2015 If you are interested in the doctrine of God, and especially in understanding how sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Reformed theologians argued for divine impassibility, this book is for you. Samuel Renihan has collected the words of sixty theologians from the Reformation and post-Reformation era in order to help readers understand the classical doctrine of divine impassibility which is sorely misunderstood in our day. Foreword by Carl. R. Trueman. Endorsements by James Dolezal, Paul Helm, Michael Horton, David VanDrunen, and Sam Waldron. "Samuel Renihan has brought together a first-rate collection of mainly Reformed and Particular Baptist thinking on the doctrine of God, particularly his impassibility, which goes back to the church Fathers. This aspect of God's nature is much misunderstood and caricatured at present, such a God being thought to be withdrawn, apathetic, even psychotic. But these extracts show that the reverse is the case. Impassibility indicates the fullness of God's care for his creation. For he is not subject to fits, or spasms, or moods, or passions." - Paul Helm, Emeritus Professor, University of London NEWEST FOUR GW/OP jd2 RBAPNEW NEW CUTTING-EDGE TITLE  SGCB Price: $17.95 (list price $23.00)Order Along with GOD WITHOUT PASSIONS: A Primer SGCB Price: $24.95 (list price $35.00)THIS IS THE PRICE FOR BOTH BOOKS TOGETHER |

 click for details | | GOD WITHOUT PASSIONS: A Primer - A Practical and Pastoral Study of Divine Impassibility Samuel Renihan Product description- "It is important to know God and worship him as he has revealed himself to us. This book is offered to supply an important piece of God's self-revelation that, though confessed and treasured by the church throughout the ages, has become unclear due to neglect. I have included study questions in order to highlight key elements of this topic for your own personal thought and to encourage discussion in group studies. It's one thing to hear someone else answer questions. It's another to answer them for yourself. May God use this book to enrich your understanding of him as he has revealed himself in Scripture and to increase your appreciation of the truths the church has confessed throughout history. Perhaps you find the doctrine of divine impassibility to be one of those doctrines that is less clear or less known to you. This primer is designed to give a simple, clear, and practical presentation of the doctrine of divine impassibility for everyone from the pulpit to the pew. In fact, this material was originally presented as six sermons to Trinity Reformed Baptist Church, LaMirada, CA where I am a pastor." Samuel Renihan, from the Preface "I commend this book to people in the pew, theological students, pastors, and seasoned theologians. It is well-written and easy to digest. Its method is sound. Its doctrine is confessionally and biblically faithful. Its last chapter shows how important and practical the doctrine of divine impassibility is. Though only a 'Primer,' its contents will inform the mind and fill the soul with wonder and amazement. May you increase in the knowledge of God!" -Richard C. Barcellos, Pasto, Grace Reformed Baptist Church, Palmdale, CA "The biblical presentation of God who does not change, whose character is eternal, is not a plaything, something merely for the ivory tower. He who is beyond time and change uses representations of himself that are human-like in order to adapt himself to our circumstances, and to be our guide in life. This means that in our thinking about God we are required to discipline our minds, and Samuel Renihan shows us how to do this." - Paul Helm GW/OP RBAPNEW jd2 BRAND NEW TITLE SGCB Price: $9.95 (list price $12.00)Order with GOD WITHOUT PASSIONS: A Reader SGCB Price: $24.95 (list price $35.00)THIS IS THE PRICE FOR BOTH TITLES TOGETHER |
