The battle of the Protestant Reformation was waged over this primary question: How does a sinful person get right with a just God? At the heart of it, the Reformers contended that sinners are justified (declared righteous) by God through faith alone in Jesus Christ. While Martin Luther is often credited with re-discovering the doctrine of justification, it was Calvin who more fully explored the depths of this doctrine, giving it a thorough treatment in his magisterial work, Institutes of the Christian Religion. In this volume, Nate Pickowicz has selected out and edited Calvin's treatment on justification-the marrow of Reformation doctrine.

Nos encontramos actualmente en medio de una crisis. Superficialmente, parece ser una crisis protestante, pero en verdad, es más una crisis del cristianismo. Los principios de la fe cristiana están siendo atacados por las mismas personas que dicen defenderlos. Tristemente, muchas personas que regularmente asisten a iglesias "cristianas" creen que irán al cielo, pero se les está enseñando un mensaje que seguramente no los llevará allí. Mientras Jesús dijo: "Yo soy el camino, la verdad y la vida; nadie viene al Padre, sino por mí" (Juan 14:6), a muchos feligreses se les dice que la vida eterna se logra por otros medios. Por lo tanto, esta es sin duda una crisis del evangelio. Y durante quinientos años, ha quedado claro que Protestantes y Católicos tienen dos interpretaciones diferentes de: ¿Qué es el evangelio?, ¿Cómo una persona se reconcilia con Dios? y ¿Cómo llega al cielo?

At one time in history, New England was a light to the nations. From its origination, the Northeast region has been a spiritual powerhouse, leading the way for Christianity to flourish in America and beyond. However, after three centuries of vibrant Christian influence, it encountered a perfect storm comprised of false doctrine, liberalism, and materialism, which crippled the church, and plunged the region into spiritual darkness. In Reviving New England, Nate Pickowicz makes a case for the inestimable value of the region, and offers a series of biblical prescriptions for faithfulness. Revival is desperately needed-a mighty work of the Spirit of God to stir the hearts of the people. Now, more than ever, the church must devote herself to the Lord. Not only will the reader be encouraged and spurred on, but Reviving New England offers plausible steps for churches to rededicate themselves, be revitalized, or be planted anew. This is a passionate call to action!(Endorsed by: Mike Abendroth, Hershael York, Dave Jenkins, Todd Friel, Scott Christensen, Terry Wragg, Jimmy Snowden, Ves Sheely)

From the Latin word credo, meaning 'I believe', creeds are statements of personal belief. They have been used throughout the history of the church to helpfully condense the fundamental beliefs of the Christian faith. They are a valuable in that they - Summarize Christian truth - Testify to what the Church has always believed - Help us be precise in how we express truth - Guard us against heresy and error - Unify believers who share the same testimony In Christ & Creed Nate Pickowicz helpfully examines the early major ecumenical creeds, providing historical context and highlighting the distinctives in the Apostles' Creed, the Nicene Creed, the Definition of Chalcedon and the Athanasian Creed. He shows how these statements are still invaluable for the church today. It also includes a glossary of terms and recommended further reading.

One of the key questions the Protestant Reformation asked and answered was: how does a person get right with God? In approaching this question, the Reformers set out to rediscover and establish the bounds of essential Christianity through five declarations: sola Scriptura (Scripture alone), sola gratia (grace alone), sola fide (faith alone), solus Christus (Christ alone),and sola Deo gloria (the glory of God alone). Nate Pickowicz‿s guide will help us understand not only the Reformation, but the Christian faith itself.
