In this article, John Bailey Adger examines the controversy between John Calvin and Michael Servetus, arguing that Calvin’s role in Servetus’s condemnation has often been misunderstood.

Alexander McLeod’s “Christ a Surety for Sinners” explains Christ’s role as the representative and substitute of his people in the covenant of grace. McLeod argues that humanity’s sin created a debt toward God that Christ fully satisfied through his obedience, sufferings, and death.

The article concludes by calling sinners to rest entirely on the sufficiency of Christ’s work and to marvel at the grace and glory revealed in redemption.

In this sermon on 1 Timothy 3:1, John Niel McLeod presents the pastoral office as a sacred and spiritual calling established by God for the instruction, edification, and salvation of His church.
