In 1929 Murray was invited to teach Systematic Theology at Princeton. This he did for one year, before joining the Faculty of the newly formed Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia. There he shared with such scholars and Christian leaders as J. Gresham Machen and Cornelius Van Til in the great struggle to maintain the old Princeton tradition in theology, represented by the Hodges and B. B. Warfield.
John Murray remained at Westminster until his retirement in 1966. He returned to his native Scotland, married and enjoyed a brief period of fatherhood prior to his death in 1974. A careful scholar, an eloquent lecturer, a moving preacher, and author of many outstanding articles and books, Murray’s driving passions were for Christ, his Word, and his people.

Heroes (Iain Murray)
$24.75The Bible no more knows a separate class of heroes than it does of saints. Because of Jesus Christ, every Christian is extraordinary and attains to glory. Yet grace so shines in some (as in the portraits of Hebrews 11), that it lightens the path of many. As A.W. Tozer wrote, ‘Next to the Holy Scriptures, the greatest aid to the life of faith may be Christian biographies.’
Iain Murray has already written on a number of Christians he especially admires. A few of them return to these pages, but with focus on their thought – George Whitefield on Christian unity, for example. Most space, however, is given to little-known figures, including Robert Kalley and William Hewitson who shared in ‘the greatest happening in modern missions’, and to Charles and Mary Colcock Jones who took much-loved slaves with them to heaven.
There is much new research in these pages, and reminders of how much is missed by those who fail to read of the work of God in history. Christians who know what Christ did yesterday are energized to trust and serve him today.

Redemption Accomplished and Applied (John Murray)
$12.75One of the most complete, personally enriching, and enduring studies of the atonement of Christ. Murray carefully explains the two sides of the great work of redemption: its accomplishment by Christ at the cross, and its application to the life of the redeemed by the Holy Spirit.
In Part I, Murray explains the necessity, nature, perfection, and extent of the atonement.
In Part II he carefully expounds the scriptural teaching about calling, regeneration, faith, repentance, justification, adoption, sanctification, perseverance, glorification – and especially, this is the masterful treatment of the subject of Union with Christ. The atonement lies at the very center of all Christian truth. This book recognizes that and explains it with an excellence very few have matched.
