I'm really excited about the work that's coming out of the Westminster Seminary Press, a lot of good stuff, some of which we've highlighted.

0:15.9

I've highlighted on this podcast before. In particular, they are publishing a new old work, John Witherspoon's

0:24.6

two treatises on justification and regeneration, practical writings on saving faith. This is a work that I

0:34.0

help to provide an introduction for and edit and is really exciting to see this come out in print

0:41.2

0:47.2

2:12.6

a scholar. He does a lot of different things. He's a well-respected historian, Reverend Dr. Peter Lilbeck.
