My new book God’s Two Words: 31 Meditations on the Law and the Gospel. “It is with great joy that I recommend this book on the law and the gospel to all. I have tried to preach it for 56 years, have taught it in my seminary classes, and am still learning. I wish I had obtained this book from the beginning. Dr. Hicks has done a superb job of clarifying law-gospel theology throughout the book. All roads lead to Christ in this work. But his pastoral application of its truth will be most helpful to pastors to learn how to preach it and to every Christian to learn how to live it out in life. It is both theologically correct and devotional in tone. I have learned much from my former intern and now senior pastor. Please read it.” - Fred Malone Introduction 1. God and His Law 2.

“This Trinity of divine persons cannot, unlike the unity of the essence of God, be demonstrated from documented proofs in nature, but from what we can learn from Scripture alone.” Synopsis 7.33 I love Anselm, but Syn is right on this with nearly all Reformed and most scholastics

Dr. Jim Parker, former @SBTS prof. Graduate of Trinity, Princeton, Basil, and John Hopkins, passed away early this past Saturday morning. Dr. Paker will be missed. He was a genuine treasure. And interestingly enough, I inherited his personal library.

The Path to the Pulpit: Four Ancient Questions for Faithful Preaching by Andrew Hébert and Mitchell L. Chase is available now! Faithful preaching begins with faithful interpretation of God’s Word. In The Path to the Pulpit, Andrew Hébert and Mitchell L. Chase draw from the rich history of Christian interpretation to offer pastors and ministers a practical framework for sermon preparation. The authors guide preachers through four essential questions: What does the text say? How does it connect to the gospel and exalt Christ? How does it shape me as a disciple? How does it stir hope for the future? By asking these questions, preachers can better understand the meaning of Scripture, see its connection to Christ, apply it to their own lives and congregations, and proclaim the hope found in God’s promises. This book offers a time-tested path from the biblical text to faithful proclamation. ㅤ 📚 Available now at The Bookstore at Southern and where books are sold.

🙌Publication day!🎇 Preaching is a sacred responsibility. Preachers think about meaning and application, authority and formation, present trials and future glories. Every Monday, the preacher walks the path toward Sunday, ready to herald, once again, the riches of Christ. @drandrewhebert and I wrote this book (from @BHAcademic) to encourage those who proclaim the Word. We want to encourage you through reflections on history, hermeneutics, and homiletics. The book's aim is both doxological and practical. We wanted to stir your joy and boldness in the privilege of preaching, for the glory of God. And we wanted to cover various angles and questions in how to approach the Text. We hope this book will bless you and further equip you for the study and proclamation of the Word!
