Our recently retired professor, Paul Galbreath, ha

Our recently retired professor, Paul Galbreath, has released his new book, "Word and Sacrament: Tracing the Theological Movements of Reformed Worship."

In the words of Cláudio Carvalhaes, Professor of Worship at Union Theological Seminary, "Finally, we have a robust analysis of the sacramental understanding of the Reformed tradition! Paul Galbreath knows the tradition inside out and through the notions of Scriptures, Lord's Supper and Baptism, he unpacks the Biblical, theological and liturgical riches of this tradition, pointing us to the past, to the present and to the future of this powerful channel of God's grace. Galbreath is a unique gem of a biblical scholar, a theologian and a liturgist and only someone like him could do such a complex work in a very accessible way. This book is a powerful witness to a tradition that has shaped our time in so many ways."

Paul's book can be ordered from the Westminster John Knox Press website, Amazon, or Barnes and Noble.
