    New Studies in Biblical Theology

    by Andrew S. Malone

    In this New Studies in Biblical Theology volume, David Peterson challenges the common assumption that the New Testament views sanctification as primarily a process.

    by Raymond C Ortlund, Jr.
    Series edited by D. A. Carson

    The biblical theme of spiritual adultery stands in all its bluntness for a deeply offensive sin—the unfaithfulness of God's covenant people in departing from Yahweh, their husband, and going after false gods.
