Kevin Bauder wrote a series of articles in his weekly blog on God’s will. These have been turned into this book (of about 115 pages). It is a good and fairly quick read. It will be a good help to laymen and couselors in ministry. I think there are two questions that Bauder addresses that […]

Aletheia Baptist Ministries Book Reviews
The Nature of the Church
Earl Radmacher (1931-2014) was president of Western (Conservative) Baptist Seminary in Portland, Oregon from 1965 to 1990. This book published by the seminary in 1972, with a second printing by Moody Press in 1978. The current copy was published by Schoettle Publishing Company in 1996. I found my copy of the book in the bottom […]
America’s Godly Heritage
David Barton is a well-known writer on America’s heritage. He is the founder of Wall Builders, “an organization dedicated to presenting America’s forgotten history and heroes, with an emphasis on our moral, religious, and constitutional heritage” (on book flap). This small book was first written in 1993 and reprinted in 2007. The views (by believers) […]
The Religious Beliefs of America’s Found
Gregg Frazer (Church History professor at Master’s College) represents those who believe that very few of the founders were truly born again believers. In fact, most founders were “theistic rationalists” who (in a brilliant way) put together a unique nation that works well for true believers. We should not, however, think that the documents are […]
Did America Have a Christian Founding?
I am currently reading about America’s “Christian” founding from differing Christian writers. Hall takes a fairly middle view that America’s founding was Christian in the general sense. There are writers on both sides, those who feel very few of the founders were truly born-again believers, and those who call almost everything Christian if Christian terminology […]
Five Lies of Our Anti-Christian Age
This is a 2023 Crossway book forwarded by Kevin DeYoung. Rosaria Butterfield is a former lesbian feminist who found Christ as Savior. The book flap includes: “Rosaria Butterfield (PhD, Ohio State University) is an author, pastor’s wife, homeschool mom, and former professor of English and women’s studies at Syracuse University. She is the author of […]
The New Creation Model
Note: The following book review is an article regarding the New Creation Model written by Rick and Don Shrader for a gathering of family and friends later this year (2025). The main text being shared has been Michael Vlach’s book, The New Creation Model. The article, responds to Vlach’s book and the New Creationist view […]
Issues in Dispensationalism (Update)
I previously read and reviewed this book in 1994 when it came out (30 years ago!). Recently I have been reading a lot in the issue of Progressive Dispensationalism (PD) and related topics. I pulled this book off my shelf and decided to read it again. I found it to be one of the best […]
The Rise and Fall of Dispensationalism
Daniel Hummel’s 2023 book has caused quite a stir in the last year both within dispensationalism and anti-dispensationalism. The book is well written, typically documented, and controversial enough to hold the reader’s attention. I found the book entertaining at one point and totally frustrating at the next. Hummel’s basic points seem to be that dispensationalism, […]
The Uses of the Old Testament in the New
We have all used Walter Kaiser’s writings over the years (especially his Toward and Exegetical Theology). This book was originally published by Moody Press in 1985 and has since been reprinted by Wipf and Stock Publishers in 2001. The subject of the use of Old Testament passages (prophetical, typological, theological, and practical) by New Testament […]
