John Frame s theological writings are faithful to the historic Christian faith and continuous with classic Reformed theology. Frame s writings are a refreshing contribution to the discipline of systematic theology because they arise out of conversation with Scripture first, before engaging with other theologians. His writings provide an excellent resource for studying theology, both at an academic/seminary/college level (see his two volumes in the series A Theology of Lordship) and at a lay level (see his excellent Salvation Belongs to the Lord). This electronic resource is a must purchase or gift for any theological student. (Jonathan Gibson Theological student and editor of BeginningwithMoses.org)
Book Resources Available in this Product American Standard Version The ASV has long been regarded by many scholars as the most literal English translation since the King James Version maybe the most literal translation ever. This has made the translation very popular for careful English Bible study, but not for ease of reading. While the KJV was translated entirely from "western manuscripts," the ASV 1901 was influenced also by the older "eastern manuscripts" that form the basis for most of our modern English translations. Because the ASV 1901 is very difficult to find in print, Logos is pleased to be able to preserve and distribute this significant work. This is an excellent choice for comparative English study. The Amsterdam Philosophy: A Preliminary Critique This booklet was published in the midst of theological warfare. Representatives of the Amsterdam Philosophy (Herman Dooyeweerd and others) were taking a militant stance against traditional Reformed theology, and the controversy created partisan battles on the campus of Westminster Theological Seminary, where Frame was a young professor. It also threatened to split churches, Christian schools, and other Christian organizations. As a member of a committee of the Ohio Presbytery of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church, Frame was asked to write a brief study of the movement. This booklet is the result. The controversy eventually receded. For additional clarifications by Frame, see Dooyeweerd and the Word of God in The Collected Shorter Theological Writings on this CD. The Collected Shorter Theological Writings Like most academics, many of Frame s publications have been in the form of articles, rather than books. These Shorter Theological Writings include all the theologically focused articles published in scholarly journals, multi-author volumes, dictionaries, encyclopedias, and more popular publications, as well as articles posted at Internet sites such as www.frame-poythress.org and www.reformedperspectives.org. There also are a number of book reviews in this collection. In his book reviews, Frame tries not only to describe and evaluate an author s work but also to engage in a dialogue an exchange of views. Thus, his book reviews contain many of his ideas, as well as those of other writers. Finally, Shorter Theological Writings includes a number of written sermons, syllabi, lecture outlines, and study guides. The included Primer on Perspectivalism provides a concise introduction to some of Frame s distinctive ideas. The Doctrine of God This second volume in the Theology of Lordship series provides Frame s fullest exegetical defense of the centrality of God s lordship in Scripture. It shows in detail from Scripture the three aspects of that lordship God s control, authority, and presence and then shows that all the Bible s teaching about God s nature and actions can be understood as applications of his lordship. God acts and speaks to us so that we may know that he is Lord. In this way, we can better understand the importance of Jesus lordship as creator and savior and the lordship of the Holy Spirit as he brings Christ to us and us into Jesus presence. Frame also discusses the traditional controversies: divine sovereignty and human responsibility, the goodness of God and the evil in the world, whether we should ever speak of God as mother, the possibility that God changes in some way, the nature of miracles, divine election, and whether God is in time. On many of these issues, Frame explores new ground, while remaining within the bounds of Reformed
orthodoxy. Meticulously biblical, remarkably cogent, and powerfully transforming presentation. Richard L. Pratt Jr., president, Third Millennium Ministries The Doctrine of the Knowledge of God This first volume in the Theology of Lordship series addresses the implications for life and thought of the fact that God is Lord and we are his servants by creation and redemption. Accordingly, Frame develops an epistemology based on the idea of servant-thinking the way a servant is to think in the presence of his Lord. In the course of his inquiry, Frame focuses on the nature of theology ( the application of God s word by persons to all areas of life ) and various aspects of theological method. The book also is an introduction to apologetics, for it attempts to show what it is to know God and how people can come to know him as a friend, rather than an enemy. Like other books in the Lordship series, this volume analyses God s lordship by means of threefold distinctions that derive ultimately from the doctrine of the Trinity. Lordship is God s control, authority, and presence, and that triad provides three perspectives essential to human knowledge. May prove to be one of the most useful all-purpose, nuts and bolts theology books written in this generation. its analytical clarity and style is complimented by a remarkably warm, non-technical, down-to-earth, shirt-sleeve approach. Philip Blosser, professor, Lenoir-Rhyne College The King James Version Also known as the "Authorized Version," The King James Version of the Bible is still the most widely used text in the English language. The Logos KJV includes the Strong's Numbers which allow English readers to identify and search for underlying Greek and Hebrew words in the original text. No Other God: A Response to Open Theism Using ideas developed in The Doctrine of God as a theological basis, Frame provides a biblical analysis and critique of the open theist movement, which is shaking the church today by challenging the Reformed doctrines of God s sovereignty, foreknowledge, and providence. In this timely work, Frame clearly describes open theism and evaluates it biblically. He addresses questions such as How do open theists read the Bible? Is love God s most important attribute? Is God s will the ultimate explanation of everything? Do we have genuine freedom? Is God ever weak or changeable? Does God know everything in advance? Frame not only answers the objections of open theists, he also sharpens our understanding of the relationship between God s eternal plan and the decisions and events of our lives. Open theism is bad news. The appearance of this book is good news. Precisely because God is closed and not open to the nullification of his purposes (Job 42:2), he has opened a future for believers that is utterly secure no matter what we suffer. The key that would open the defeat of God is eternally closed within the praiseworthy vault of His precious sovereignty. John Frame delights to show when it is good to be closed and when it is good to be open. And the Bible is his criterion. John Piper, pastor, Bethlehem Baptist Church
Perspectives on the Word of God This succinct volume consists of three lectures that examine the nature, media, and application of God s Word. Frame develops fresh applications of ideas set forth in The Doctrine of the Knowledge of God. In addition, he offers a preview of the central theses to be discussed in two later volumes in his Theology of Lordship series The Doctrine of the Word of God and The Doctrine of the Christian Life. Those looking for a concise presentation of Frame s perspectival approach will find it here. Salvation Belongs to the Lord: An Introduction to Systematic Theology In this book, Frame addresses the traditional topics of systematic theology that summarize the teachings of Scripture. As systematic theologies go, it is concise, and it is addressed to beginners in the field. Although this book is not part of the Theology of Lordship series, it continues the series emphasis on the lordship of God as the central focus of Scripture, understanding lordship in terms of God s control, authority, and presence. John Frame is not only one of the most productive theologians of our day, he is also one of the most lucid. Deceptively so, for behind every sentence in this extraordinary volume lies deep reflection. It is at once vigorously orthodox and sweetly pastoral. We can be grateful for such a powerful and clear exposition of the whole range of theology. William Edgar, professor, Westminster Theological Seminary
Media The audio material comes from a wide variety of places and times. "Understanding Revelation," "Understanding Theology", and "Doctrine of the Knowledge of God: History of Philosophy" are courses Frame gave at Westminster Seminary (Philadelphia) in the 1970s. "Systematic Theology 1-3" records the lectures in Frame's course at Reformed Theological Seminary, Orlando, Florida, in the Fall of 2006, dealing with Scripture and God. The other recorded lectures are not parts of courses but were given at various conferences.
