Anyone remember..........

[cygnusx1]

Does anyone remember an author called Jerry Bridges ? he was a good Calvinistic writer .

So many authors seem to have been overlooked , can you think of any more?

"Furthermore, quite a number of evangelicals have been Calvinists. Famous evangelicals of the past include John Owen, Matthew Henry, Stephen Charnock, Matthew Poole, Jonathan Edwards, B. B. Warfield, Grace Livingston Hill, Andrew Murray, Gordon H. Clark, J. Gresham Machen, J. Barton Payne, and G. E. Ladd. Many of these evangelicals, especially those from Princeton, were instrumental in defending the other major defining evangelical doctrine, biblical inerrancy. Present-day evangelicals include James M. Boice, Michael Horton, Erwin Lutzer, Bruce Bickel and Stan Jantz ("Bruce & Stan"), Jerry Bridges, Robert Coleman, Kent Hughes, Philip Graham Ryken, R. C. Sproul, and D. James Kennedy."

Yeah, Jerry Bridges. He had one called The Discipline of Grace that I read part of a long time ago, and I seem to remember it was pretty good. Which raises the question, Why didn't I finish it? Anyway, other than those you mentioned, a few outstanding ones of yesteryear come to mind, who don't get a lot of attention: Dabney, Thornwell, Girardeau and Berkhof.

Coincidentally, I'm reading The Pursuit of Holiness by Bridges right now. It's a very good book so far. It was recommended by someone else on another thread - I didn't know he was reformed.

blessings...

Check out "Desiring God" by John Piper - it will blow you away!

I have that book, too. But it's in storage right now, along with many of my other favorite books...

I do have my Henry commentary with me, though, and I have a few other theology books with me. I have a book on prayer (also Henry) and quite a few others.

I have some Edwards books that are keeping me happy for now.
