Presbytery Pastor Publishes Book

Rev. Dr. Keith Curran, honorably retired, has published a book with a welcoming and grace-filled message. In A New T.U.L.I.P.: A Kinder, Gentler Calvinism for the 21st Century, Curran answers basic spiritual questions using a historic teaching tool updated to be more in line with today’s beliefs and emphases in preaching. Curran is a minister-in-residence at Fairfield Church in Mechanicsville. His book can be found online.
