Behold Your King
By: William Webster
In Behold Your King, William Webster examines the historical evidence for the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy in the life of Jesus, prophecies written hundreds of years before his birth. Behold Your King provides one of the most extensive documentations of Jewish interpretation of messianic prophecy in the English language, from the Talmud, Targums, Midrash and Rabbinic sources, proving that the primary New Testament teachings concerning the Messiah are supported by these ancient Jewish writings. A careful and honest examination of the historical facts can lead us to only one conclusion: Jesus Christ is the long promised Messiah, the Son of God, the Savior and King of all nations.

The Gospel of the Reformation: Salvation from the Guilt and Power of Sin
By: William Webster
What is the gospel? What does Scripture mean by salvation? What gospel has been consistently taught by the Reformers and those following in their steps? Such fundamental questions are addressed in this book. In a day when the essential message of the gospel is being assaulted by either legalism or antinomianism, evangelical Protestantism, which claims the heritage of the Reformation, is in danger of repudiating its history by embracing a gospel that fundamentally denies the message of the Reformers. Debates on Roman Catholicism and lordship salvation underscore the rampant confusion within evangelicalism over the precise meaning of salvation, justification and saving faith. This book clarifies the issues by clearly setting forth the biblical and Reformation teachings of the gospel and salvation.

The Matthew 16 Controversy: Peter and the Rock
By: William Webster
“William Webster has gathered the most formidable body of data concerning the interpreatation of the locus classicus of the authority of the Bishop of Rome to be found anywhere. In addition he has included the studied judgments of a large number of contemporary scholars — Protestant, Catholic and Orthodox — concerning the historical treatment of the Matthew 16 passage. That the contemporary Roman Catholic interpretation had no place in the biblical understanding of the early church doctors cannot be disputed.” From the foreword by Dr. Tom J. Nettles, Professor and Chairman, Department of Church History, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Deerfield, IL.

Saving Faith: How Does Rome Define It?
By: William Webster
The ECT Accord (Evangelicals and Catholics Together) and ECT 2 (The Gift of Salvation) calls for unity between the Roman Catholic and evangelical Churches on the basis of a shared faith. After all, we are told, Rome teaches that an individual is saved by faith. But does such a basis for unity really exist? When Rome states that an individual is saved by faith, what exactly does she mean? In this book, Mr. Webster documents the Roman Catholic teaching of saving faith from the official authoritative sources of the Roman Catholic magisterium. In a time of great confusion as to what Roman Catholicism officially stands for, this book helps clarify the issues. It provides extensive documentation from the writings of Roman Catholic theologian Ludwig Ott, Papal Decrees, The Council of Trent, Vatican I, Vatican II, The Code of Canon Law, The Question and Answer Catholic Catechism and the newly published Catechism of the Catholic Church.

Must Jesus Be Lord To Be Savior?
By: William Webster
What is a true Christian? What is the nature of repentance and faith Is Lordship-salvation biblical or is it a distortion of the gospel given to the Church by Jesus Christ? When Jesus enunciated his conditions for discipleship what did he mean? Was he calling men and women who were already believers to a deeper commitment or was he setting forth conditions for entering the kingdom of God? Is lordship a denial or an affirmation of the gospel of the Reformation? To answer these questions the author examines the controversy surrounding Lordship-salvation in light of the teaching of Jesus Christ and that of eminent evangelical theologians from the past and present: John Calvin, Martyn Lloyd-Jones, Charles Spurgeon, John Stott, J.I. Packer, John Murray, A.W. Tozer, Charles Hodge, A.A. Hodge, R.L. Dabney, James Montgomery Boice, A.W. Pink, John Gerstner, Augustus Strong, Henry Thiessen, William Hendriksen and others. This book provides a definitive answer to the lordship controversy. First published in 1986, this work has been revised and updated.

The Old Testament Canon and the Apocrypha: A Survey of the History of the Apocrypha from the Jewish Age to the Reformation
By: William Webster
In this work, William Webster documents the history of the Old Testament canon and the Apocrypha from the Jewish age up to the time of the Reformation. The historical evidence conclusively demonstrates that the Jews did not accept the Apocrypha as part of the inspired corpus of the Old Testament, that many of the early Church fathers followed the Jewish canon in rejecting the Apocrypha, and that the Church throughout the middle ages, including the period of the Reformation itself, followed the opinion of Jerome in denying the Apocrypha full canonical status. The writings were considered useful for the purposes of edification and for reading in the churches but were not authoritative for the establishment of doctrine.

A Treatise Concerning Religious Affections
By: Jonathan Edwards
There is no question whatsoever, that is of greater importance to mankind, and what is more concerns every individual to be well resolved in than this: What are the distinguishing characteristics of those that are in favor with God, and entitled to His eternal rewards Or, what comes to the same thing, What is the nature of true religion? But though it be of such importance and though we have clear and abundant light in the word of God to direct us in this matter, yet there is no one point wherein professing Christians do more differ from one another. It would be endless to reckon up the variety of opinions in this point, that divide the Christian world; making manifest the truth of that declaration of our Savior:, “Strait is the gate and narrow is the way, that leads to life, and few there be that find it. (Jonathan Edwards, from the Preface).
These words of Jonathan Edwards have as much relevance today as when he first penned them in the 18th century. This treatise is one of the most thorough ever done on the nature of biblical conversion and is a classic on the subject. It is a hard hitting, heart searching and deeply convicting work that should be read by every pastor, evangelist and layman. In light of Jesus’ words and warning in Matthew 7:13-14, where He tells us clearly that there are few who find the gate of the Kingdom of God and walk the narrow way, Edwards seeks to warn his readers of the dangers of spiritual deception and false profession.
A Treatise Concerning Religious Affections is an impassioned plea for men and women to ‘make their calling and election sure’ (2 Cor. 13:5). It is a refreshing presentation of biblical truth in a day of spiritual superficiality and widespread confusion regarding the nature of true conversion and salvation (The Publisher).
