The Westminster Standards (The Westminster Confession and accompanying Shorter and Larger Catechisms) are the high-water mark of the Historic Christian Faith since they build upon the preceding councils and creeds of the Church while responding to the challenges of the Reformation. A thoughtful study of the Standards requires penetrating the material at the level of challenges and responses to the Faith.

The Biblical Worldview: Creation, Fall, Redemption is the foundational and, therefore, the inaugural book in the Doxological Reformed Sermon Series.

The truth of special revelation is encapsulated in an organic seed form, a unity that grows, encompassing all essential elements in summary.

The Logos Papers is a collection of work from Dr. Gangadean, reflecting his teaching in philosophy, religion, and the humanities in the academy, in theology at Logos Theological Seminary, and pastoral teaching in the church. In unison with his other publications, it fundamentally calls for a focus on foundation from the Logos. The Logos is the eternal word of God in its fullness, who makes God fully known.

Philosophical Foundation argues for clarity over and against meaninglessness, which is implicit in various forms of skepticism and fideism. Throughout the book, critical analysis is applied to unexamined assumptions in the areas of metaphysics and ethics in order to address long-standing disputes.

The main focus of Dr. Gangadean's work is the good as the knowledge of God and the goal of the Earth being filled with the knowledge of the glory of God. He argues that for this goal to be achieved, there must first be unity in the church that the world might believe. But, for unity in the church, there must be a shared foundation. Dr. Gangadean has paved the way in showing the philosophical, theological, and historical foundations for the Christian faith with the hope that others, by the grace of God, might build a lasting culture, a city with foundations.
