While browsing in a used book section of a store, I found this 1906 edition printed in the second year of Morgan’s 39 year ministry at the Westminster Chapel in London (not to be confused with either the Abbey or the Cathedral). Morgan was followed there by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones who retired in 1968. One […]

The Inklings of Oxford: C.S. Lewis, J.R...
Photographs by James Ray Veneman I acquired a curious taste for C.S. Lewis some years ago which helped me in reading and reasoning. I also found G.K. Chesterton at that time, and the two together took a lot of my time. I never got the same satisfaction from Tolkien., not even from his slimy and […]
Systematic Theology, Vol 1
Those of us who sat under Dr. McCune, whether at Central Seminary in Minneapolis or at Detroit Seminary, are glad that he is writing (my syllabus notes are getting old and tattered). Reviewing this volume, Dr. Larry Pettegrew writes, “Highlights include a presuppositional apologetic, a single source (Scripture) as the only rule for theology, cessationism […]
Mornings with Tozer
Each year I read a “daily” reading book, usually left by my bedside. There are many good ones out there which give a short page of thought-provoking material. Tozer, of course, is very provoking! But don’t read these instead of Scripture.
Saints and Strangers
This 1945 history of the Pilgrims is more a collection of the individual biographies of those who settled the Plymouth Plantation and later the Boston Puritans. The “Saints” were those Pilgrims of like faith (to whom William Bradford gave this title) and the “Strangers” were those adventure seekers or ship mates who traveled with them […]
Rediscovering God In America
This book is an attempt by the author to demonstrate that the history of the United States of America is indeed a nation founded “under God,” and must continue to hold that conviction. Throughout the book Gingrich shows that the history of the United States is one firmly rooted in the belief in the existence […]
Baptist Theology: a Four-Century Study
This is a valuable new book on Baptist history and theology by the long-time professor at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Garrett taught this material since the 1950s as a class on Historical Theology primarily at Southwestern and for a time at Southern. It is more than a Baptist history in that it traces the developing […]
Baptists, The Only Thorough Reformers
This Adams was not the 6th president of the United States who lived from 1767-1848. This Adams was a Baptist pastor from New Jersey who lived from 1825-1881. This little book was first published by the author in 1876 and reprinted by Backus Book Publishers in 1980. Adams first preached these messages to his church […]
A Sourcebook for Baptist Heritage
Leon McBeth is best known as a Southern Baptist Church historian and primarily for his book, The Baptist Heritage (Broadman, 1987). In 1990 Broadman Press printed this follow-up to that book. McBeth explains in the preface, “Over the years when I would share an unusual anecdote, a choice quotation, or a first-hand account of some […]
Mein Kampf, Vol 1
Mein Kampf (“My Struggle”) is the autobiography and political philosophy of the 20th century’s most despicable human being. Written while in prison for his failed Munich revolution of November 1923, Hitler produced the first volume in 1925 and the second in 1926. I am sure that reading his words does not compare to observing his […]
