Overview

For more than thirty years, Tabletalk has existed as a magazine to provide a substantive study tool for believers. Generally speaking, laymen receive either very little instruction in the weightier matters of the faith, or the instruction is too academic, thereby making the material largely inaccessible to average person. This is the reason Tabletalk exists—to bridge the gap between these two poles, to explain to the people of God the important, biblical doctrines and events while admonishing them toward holy living.

Contributors include: R. C. Sproul along with Monte Wilson, Ken Myers, Frank Farrell, Jay Adams, R. C. Sproul Jr., Edmund Clowney, Ethan Harris, Ligon Duncan, and Greg Barolet. Tabletalk features articles on topics central to the Christian faith and contains daily, in-depth Bible studies.

Over the years, Tabletalk has been recognized for its excellence through several awards. Today, people all over the world read Tabletalk on a daily basis. Now with the Logos Bible Software edition of Tabletalk all Scripture passages are linked to your favorite Bible translation in your library. With the advanced search features of Logos Bible Software, you can perform powerful searches by topic or Scripture reference—finding, for example, every mention of "covenant" or "passion."

Top Highlights

“The Israelites did not often come face to face with God, but the Christian is always invited to come into His presence. However, God is still holy and we must approach Him as Moses did. To take off one’s shoes or sandals in eastern cultures is still a sign of reverence and respect. When we approach God, we are to do so with respect, not with foolish familiarity and casual disregard. We should be joyfully solemn when we pray and worship, carefully avoiding anything that has the appearance of levity, rudeness, or disrespect. Our God is a holy God; let us, then, worship Him in holiness, showing Him the honor He deserves.” (Page 30)

Praise for the Print Edition

Tabletalk has been a key ingredient in the diet of Christians conscious of their spiritual vitality.

—Michael S. Horton

Month by month, Tabletalk represents an oasis in a desert of false spirituality, mindless Christianity, and vapid conviction. Tabletalk represents theological rigor, biblical Christianity, and authentic Christian devotion. It is an antidote to the world of superficial Christianity. Read it and grow.

—R. Albert Mohler, Jr.

Tabletalk has been a wonderful resource in my own daily walk with the Lord.

—Ravi Zacharias
