Contending for the Faith: Lines in the Sand that Strengthen the Church
Overview
Contending for the Faith offers a selection of Reymond's papers in the areas of systematic theology and apologetics. The one thing these articles generally have in common is their apologetic flavor—that is to say, each in its own way contends for the biblical and Reformed faith. Many of these papers have never been previously published.
Robert offers them to a broader readership as they address topics that are, in many cases, being debated within the Church at large today. We are given unique insights into a huge range of subjects from creation to Lord's Day observance, from the Trinity to Islam. This is a hugely significant contribution to the defense of the Christian faith that makes points that are difficult to ignore.
