Overview

The December 2009 issue of Tabletalk explores how the kingdom of God has been inaugurated but has not yet been consummated. It intends to look carefully at this theme and how over-emphasis on one side or the other almost always leads to serious error. In the process, the hope is to offer a correct view of living in this time.

Contributors include R. C. Sproul, Anthony J. Carter, Keith A. Mathison, Robert L. Reymond, Guy M. Richard, R. C. Sproul Jr., Jason J. Stellman, Gene Edward Veith, and R. Fowler White.

The 2009 Bible studies look at the apostle Paul’s life and thought in a study of the books the frame his career: Galatians, the very first letter he wrote, and 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus, the last epistles to come from him.

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
