Standing for Orthodoxy: The Historical Endeavour In The Service Of God’s People

Standing for Orthodoxy celebrates the life and legacy of Peter Barnes, aptlydescribed as 'one of Australia’s ablest defenders of theological orthodoxy,'whose tireless dedication to Scripture, pastoral care, and historical theologyhas profoundly impacted generations within the global Reformed community.Spanning pastoral, historical, biblical, and systematic theology, the essayswithin this volume reflect the diverse yet unified commitment of Barnes’sministry—to uphold biblical orthodoxy in a changing world.

Contributions from esteemed Australian and internationalscholars and pastors—such as Joel R. Beeke, Michael A. G. Haykin, JaredHood, John McClean, Carl R. Trueman, Geoffrey Thomas, and Rowland S.Ward—engage crucial questions of pastoral care, confessional integrity,historical interpretation, and theological fidelity. From discussions on the EarlyChurch Fathers and John Calvin, to explorations of Abraham Kuyper, A.W.Pink, and contemporary issues facing the church today, these essaysillustrate the rich interplay between historical depth and practical pastoralinsight.
