By Good and Necessary Consequence

"By Good and Necessary Consequence (Explorations in Reformed Confessional Theology)" by McGraw, Ryan, published by Reformation Heritage Books. Author Ryan M. McGraw is the pastor of Grace Presbyterian Church (PCA) in Conway/Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. He is married to Krista, and they have three sons. He is the author of The Day of Worship: Reassessing the Christian Life in Light of the Sabbath, as well as numerous articles and book reviews. Endorsements The Westminster Confession says that the whole counsel of Godis either expressly set down in Scripture, or by good and necessary consequence may be deduced from Scripture (1.6, emphasis added). McGraw begins this work by noting the biblical foundation of the principle, especially evident in the words of the Lord Jesus Christ. He then examines the usage among the contemporaries of the authors of the Westminster Standards, and in another section deals with the most significant objections to this principle. He treats the need for necessary consequence in four major areas of theology, and concludes with certain practical applications that impact the Christian life and church. This excellent book helps us understand the significance of necessary consequence not only for the Confession but also for Scripture study in general, and is worthwhile for grounding the principle in the Lord Jesus Christ and the writers of the Scripture. George W. Knight III, Adjunct Professor of New Testament, Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary McGraw handles this crucial matter with great skill, combining careful exegesis, wide historical scholarship, and incisive practical application. All in positions of church leadership should read, ponder, and follow his wise directions.

Hyde and Mark Jones) This series provides introductory volumes on statements in the Reformed confessions that tend to trouble modern readers.

The series is intended for educated lay people in Reformed congregations as well as ministers who must repeatedly teach and preach the doctrines in the confessions.
