Overview

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.

Contributors include R.C. Sproul along with Edmund Clowney, Peter Leithart, Ray Ortlund Jr., Steve Schlissel, R.C. Sproul Jr., Brent Bradley, Scott Smith, O. Palmer Robertson, Bill Neff, Douglas Wilson, and Burk Parsons. Tabletalk features articles about topics central to the Christian faith and daily, in-depth Bible studies.

Top Highlights

“The church universal must be aware of the worship of the church around the world. Until the last century, Roman Catholic worship required the Mass in Latin. Now the same form of worship is followed in the vernacular. Should the universal church aspire to one form of worship in every culture? Certainly the Lord has revealed to us that prayer, preaching of the Word, and the singing of praise are to be part of our worship, as well as the observance of the sacraments.” (Pages 10–54)

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
