Regular Baptist Press has published a second edition of the late Dr. Ernest Pickering’s 1979 classic on separation. The new edition has updated some of the language as well as the footnoting to today’s style and information usage.

Charismatic Confusion
Dr. Pickering wrote this book in 1976. Regular Baptist Press printed a 1980 edition and recently in 2006. All non-Charismatic believers need to have a good grasp on why the miraculous gifts ceased with the passing of the Apostles and the completion of the New Testament.

Are Fundamentalists Legalists?
Before Dr. Pickering went home to be with the Lord he wrote, among the many books he authored, what I think may be his most important words to our generation.

When we read, we cultivate a sustained attention span, an active imagination, a […]

I just received this 1994 book in the mail from a good friend. This is a review of the twentieth century from the early Liberal-Fundamental battles to the “marketing” battles today. Pickering has first-hand knowledge of many of the foremost figures in these controversies. Having seen all the water go under the bridge, Pickering is […]

This is not quite an “Old Book Update” but it is a used book reminder! I first read this book when it was published in 1979, having known of Dr. Pickering for some time before. It was a timely book, coming before the 80’s and some struggles among churches over things like “secondary separation.” It […]
