Have you considered Job? | Tom J. Nettles
That God brought all into existence with a specific purpose in his eternal mind, that he will by no means fail to accomplish his purpose, and that we are incapable of sorting out all the individual events of the world to satisfy our impertinent questioning of God is the big lesson of this book.

Jesus and the Sabbath | Jon English Lee
Jesus is not abrogating the Sabbath when he claims his authority over it. Rather, by giving a divine interpretation of the Sabbath command, Jesus displays His own authority over His creation.
Man as the Image of God | Sam Waldron
We should not even speak of man possessing the image of God. For the image is not something man possesses. It is something man is. Man is the image of God.
The Threefold Division of the Law | Nick Mattei
The doctrine of the threefold division of the law teaches that God’s law, as revealed and given to the nation of Israel at Mount Sinai, can be and should be divided into three elements. These are the moral law, ceremonial law and judicial law.
