Our Lord has given Psalms, the songbook of the Bible, for the benefit of the church. But for many people, Psalms’ contents are mysterious because they no longer have a place of prominence in the Church’s worship. Author J. V. Fesko hopes to awaken the Church to the majesty, beauty, and splendor of Psalms through a devotional exploration of Psalms 1–8, a “grand Christ hymn,” in which David, as the suffering king, prefigures the King of kings, Jesus Christ. To encourage readers to come to a greate...

God’s Spirit unites believers to Christ, conforms them to his image, and equips them for witness and ministry. In The Giver of Life, J. V.

Through a combination of biblical, historical, and theological study, Fesko illuminates the blessing of God’s presence with his people.

Desde que Martín Lutero, el famoso reformador del siglo XVI, clavara sus noventa y cinco tesis en la puerta del castillo de Wittenberg, la doctrina de la justificación por la fe sola ha sido una de las grandes verdades de la iglesia, la salvación y la fe reformada. En este tratado conciso y a la vez profundo, el autor, J.V. Fesko, expone con frescura esta antigua doctrina, explicando la enseñanza bíblica, examinando las declaraciones clásicas de la Reforma y contestando las dudas de todos.

J. V. Fesko’s The Fruit of the Spirit Is . . . explores the fruit of the Spirit in connection with the Old Testament, and it examines how we truly obtain godliness. Too often, Fesko points out, we try to achieve godliness by good intentions and religious strivings—efforts that always fall short. Here he looks at Paul’s famous fruit of the Spirit passage in Galatians 5, showing that this work of the Spirit is not merely a New Testament idea, but is written throughout the pages of Old Testament history—from creation, the Exodus, through the prophets, to the fulfillment of promised blessings in the work of Christ. This practical and engaging text explores how when this fruit is displayed in our lives, God is fulfilling ancient promises of redemption through Christ and the Spirit and we are experiencing and manifesting the very things God promised over 2,500 years ago.

In Christ and the Desert Tabernacle J. V. Fesko demonstrates how—far from being boring or uninteresting—the Old Testament Tabernacle and later the temple in Solomon’s day—are a shadowy picture of Christ and the church. Fesko draws connections between Jesus and the sacrificial animals, as Jesus is identified as the one and only true sacrifice who takes away our sins (Heb. 8-10; 1 John 2:2). Fesko goes on to display how the Old Testament Tabernacle is an entire world of references, allusions, foreshadowing Christ and the church.

For centuries, countless Christians have turned to the Westminster Standards for insights into the Christian faith. These renowned documents—first published in the middle of the 17th century—are widely regarded as some of the most beautifully written summaries of the Bible’s teaching ever produced. Church historian John Fesko walks readers through the background and theology of the Westminster Confession, the Larger Catechism, and the Shorter Catechism, helpfully situating them within their original context. Organized according to the major categories of systematic theology, this book utilizes quotations from other key works from the same time period to shed light on the history and significance of these influential documents.

The greatest need of the Church today is the recovery of sound biblical preaching that faithfully explains and applies the text, courageously confronts sin, and boldly trumpets forth sovereign majesty, law, and the promises of God.

It is authored by an array of seasoned pastor-scholars from various Reformed denominations on both sides of the Atlantic. The Lectio Continua series Testament...

Challenging the dominant Van Tillian approach in Reformed apologetics, this book by a leading expert in contemporary Reformed theology sets forth the principles that undergird a classic Reformed approach. J. V. Fesko’s detailed exegetical, theological, and historical argument takes as its starting point the classical Reformed understanding of the “two books” of God's revelation: nature and Scripture. Believers should always rest on the authority of Scripture but also can and should appeal to the book of nature in the apologetic task.

This brief, accessible invitation to the historic creeds and confessions makes a biblical and historical case for their necessity and shows why they are essential for Christian faith and practice today. J. V. Fesko, a leading Reformed theologian with a broad readership in the academy and the church, demonstrates that creeds are not just any human documents but biblically commended resources for the well-being of the church, as long as they remain subordinate to biblical authority. He also explains how the current skepticism and even hostility toward creeds and confessions came about.

Romans is one of the best-known books in the Bible and likely the most famous letter in history, as it is the apostle Paul’s most systematic presentation of the gospel of Christ. In this expository commentary, J. V. Fesko considers this panoramic view of the breadth, height, and depth of divine grace. Fesko helps us understand both the big picture of Paul’s letters and also key passages in his writings by paying careful attention to the structure of redemptive history. Be edified as you read this survey of Romans, observing the consistent way the apostle exalted the glory of God as he called for the obedience of faith.

Ever since Martin Luther, the famous sixteenth-century Reformer, nailed his 95 theses to the castle door of Wittenberg, the doctrine of justification by faith alone has been one of the great truths of the Reformed faith. In this concise booklet, J.V. Fesko takes a fresh look at this critical doctrine, explaining biblical teaching, examining classic Reformed statements, and answering common questions. He explains the doctrine of justification in uncomplicated, nontechnical language.

We think that we know the first three chapters of the Bible well - Creation and the Fall, we say, knowingly. But have we ever stopped to consider that Jesus in the book of Revelation is called 'the last Adam' and the 'Alpha & Omega'? Should this make a difference to how we look at the first three chapters of Genesis? Dr John Fesko says that it does and that without seeing Christ and the end days, we cannot understand the first days. Over the controversies that surround these first three chapters he says 'there are many theologians who represent different schools of thought. Is there a better way to approach the opening chapters of Genesis in spite of the debate? The answer to that question is an unqualified, 'Yes'... The way through the impasse is to interpret Genesis in the manner presented in the New Testament. More specifically, one must interpret Genesis 1-3 in the light of Christ and Eschatology.' By doing this, John is able to explain this important portion of scripture from...

Our theology has a profound effect on our daily Christian life—informing our actions through our thoughts about who God is. In this collection, distinguished scholars and pastors including Joel Beeke, J.V. Fesko, Thabiti M. Anyabwile, and Paul Washer offer full-bodied theological discussion that upholds historic Reformed doctrine.

The doctrine of imputation is the ground in which salvation is rooted. It is often seen as superfluous or splitting hairs, and yet, without it, redemption automatically becomes reliant on our own works and assurance of salvation is suddenly not so sure. J. V. Fesko works through this doctrine looking at its long history in the church, its exegetical foundation, and its dogmatic formulation. In exploring imputed guilt from the First Adam alongside the imputed righteousness from the Second, this volume offers a helpfully well-rounded explanation of the doctrine.

The Lectio Continua series is not meant to be an academic or highly technical series. Rather, the aim is to provide lectio continua sermons which clearly and faithfully communicate the context, meaning, gravity and application of God’s inerrant Word.

Therefore, the series will be a profound blessing to every Christian believer who longs to “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.”

J. V. Fesko seeks to recover and defend the doctrine of the covenant of works in this second book in his three–part series. He argues that it is biblical and a necessary element for a right understanding of God, the world, Christ and our redemption. Understanding the nature of the triune God’s interaction with Adam ultimately sets the stage for the work of the last Adam, Jesus.

John Fesko tackles the essential question: what is the Christian response to all this? As he says, ‘In the end, we need not flee from technology but we must understand it in order to use it well. One of the primary themes of this book is encouraging us to look past technology and dig into our own hearts. It encourages us to ask whether Christ so fills us that nothing else can drag us away from him.
