Really excited by the forthcoming Classic Studies on Christology which has just arrived in CP. It's worth it for Messiah the Prince by William Symington alone - one of the classic works on the Mediatorial reign of Jesus Christ. A few other works by Symington are either already available or in CP, which is great, but this is what he's best known for.
One correction to the product page: He was Professor of Theology at the Reformed Presbyterian Theological Hall - not in the Free Church. As it's put in the memoir which is prefixed to the book:
'When sometimes asked why he, who sympathised with it so enthusiastically, did not join the Free Church, he would say, "With a great sum you have purchased this freedom, but we were free-born," '
(For more on Symington, Roy Blackwood and Michael LeFebvre a fantasic great book, Penman of the Scottish Coveanters, published by RHB in 2009, but seems to be out of print already! Would be great to have it in Logos!)
One concern though. Historically Reformed Christians have held that images of Christ are a breach of the second commandment. Eg Larger Catechism # 109:
"The sins forbidden in the second commandment are....the making any representation of God, of all or of any of the three persons, either inwardly in our mind, or outwardly in any kind of image or likeness of any creature whatsoever; (Deut. 4:15–19, Acts 17:29, Rom. 1:21–23,25)".
This isn't the place to get into a debate over whether that is right or not, but I for one would appreciate if the artwork was changed. I appreciate it must be hard to keep coming up with new images for all these classic studies, but many of the authors of these works would also raise their concerns!
