Those who do not consider history&#8217;s lessons are doomed to repeat those same mistakes and failures. In the Christian church we often feel like we are the first to face certain theological issues having a significant bearing upon how we live for Christ in today&#8217;s world. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Sinclair Ferguson&#8217;s&nbsp;<em><strong>The Whole Christ: Legalism, Antinomianism, and Gospel Assurance &#8212; Why the Marrow Controversy Still Matters<\/strong><\/em> examines and draws contemporary implications from a debate taking place in the Church of Scotland early in the 1700s. It addresses some of the issues we often encounter in our churches today: works and grace, law and grace, law and gospel, justification and sanctification, legalism, antinomianism, and biblical assurance. This volume will challenge the reader &#8212; it is not a light read. However, it will reward the diligent reader with a greater understanding of the perennial issues it addresses. Read it &#8212; learn from church history &#8212; avoid repeating the theological errors of the past.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click on picture for link.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"\/recommendations\"><strong>Recommendations<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"\/books-ive-endorsed\/\"><strong>Books I&#8217;ve Endorsed<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"\/dr-barricks-books\/\">Dr. Barrick&#8217;s Books<\/a>&nbsp;<\/strong>or<strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"\/my-publications\/\">Publications<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>History informs the wise.
