By Tremper Longman III and Raymond B. Dillard (revised edition). A solid and accessible introduction that prepares readers to bridge the gap between the modern world and the ancient setting of the Old Testament, to appreciate its literary beauty, and to recognise the abundant presence of God. It gives a basic grasp of each book of the Old Testament along with guidance for further reading, and is a foundational textbook widely used by seminary teachers.
The Institutes of the Christian Religion is John Calvin's systematic exposition of Protestant theology. It has had an enormous influence on the Western world and is required reading for students of theology in many parts of the world. First published in Latin in 1536, it appeared in Calvin's native French in 1541 and reached its final form in the Latin edition of 1559 and the French edition of 1560; the final Latin edition runs to eighty chapters.
This volume collects Augustine's key writings on human nature. On Free Choice of the Will explores the origin of evil and the question of human free will; On Nature and Grace sets out humanity's total corruption and God's total grace. Together the two works lay the foundations of Augustine's thinking about human nature.
