For more than thirty years, Tabletalk has existed as a magazine for laymen. 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 laymen. This is the reason Tabletalk exists — to bridge the gap between these two poles, to explain to the people of God important, biblical doctrines and events while admonishing them toward holy living.
The November 2003 edition of Tabletalk focuses on the theme of idols. Contributors include R.C. Sproul along with Benjamin Shaw, R. C. Sproul Jr., Robert Peterson, Joe Nevenson, Greg Bailey, Gordon Keddie, John Newton, Douglas Kelly, George Grant, and David Seng. Tabletalk features articles about topics central to the Christian faith and daily, in-depth Bible studies.
