“To open the pages of Word and Spirit is to find oneself in a treasure trove of biblical and theological riches that will delight scholars, pastors, and all serious students of the New Testament. Our gratitude is due to Professors Garner and Waters for so fittingly doing with the scattered jewels of Dick Gaffin’s essays what he once similarly did for Geerhardus Vos—and, surely, with the same confidence that they will be of lasting benefit to the church. Here is a virtual symphony of exegesis, biblical theology and systematic reflection of the finest kind, all expressed with a melody line of deep commit- ment to Christ. In his own ministry as a doctor of the church Dr. Gaffin has laid bare the deep foundations of the gospel in a way that enhances apprecia- tion of its unsearchable riches and shapes the way in which it is preached and applied. Here then are shorter writings calculated to bring long-term benefits both for our personal understanding of Scripture and for the preaching of the gospel. It surely belongs to the ‘must have’ category of books in a minister’s library.”

“After decades as both a New Testament scholar and systematic theologian, Richard Gaffin, Jr. has not only mediated but enriched the tradition of Vos, Murray, and Ridderbos. I’m among the many beneficiaries of these labors and finally we have Gaffin’s most seminal insights gathered into one place. I heartily encourage readers to digest these amazing explorations. As his life exhibits, these writings come from the life of the church back to the life of the church—not in an ivory tower of speculation.” -Michael Horton; Gresham Machen Professor of Systematic Theology and Apologetics, Westminster Seminary California

“It is a gift to the people of God to have Dr. Gaffin’s shorter writings made available to a larger circle of readers, collected under one cover. Gaffin can be relied on to be penetrating, insightful, edifying, and biblically based.” -Vern S. Poythress; Distinguished Professor of New Testament, Biblical Interpretation, and Systematic Theology, Westminster Theological Seminary
