I picked up this 1995 book because I thought I had misread the title. I didn’t. I also noticed it was endorsed by R.C. Sproul. Mathison left Dallas Seminary and transferred to Reformed Theological Seminary. His criticism of today’s dispensationalism is nothing new and his alternative view is standard Reformed doctrine. So I still don’t […]

Vital Apologetic Issues
This is the third book in the Vital Issues Series which I have reviewed. These all contain past articles from Bib Sac and have all been excellent. The three areas with which this volume deals are problem areas, creation science and archeology. The first section has an excellent article by Norman Geisler on Johannine Apologetics. […]
Catechism of the Catholic Church 1994
A Few Odds & Ends… First, while I am recommending books about ECT, I want to encourage you to buy the 1994 Catechism of the Catholic Church. It is advertised as “the first new Catechism in more than 400 years.” It is produced by the Vatican for Catholics and is a 800 page, detailed account […]
Protestants and Catholics: Do They Now A...
This is another book about ECT which I found very helpful and informative. It is forwarded by John MacArthur, R.C. Sproul and D. James Kennedy. It is a longer treatment of more than 300 pages including six appendixes. You also get the ECT document reproduced as the last appendix. Ankerberg is well known for his […]
A View of Rome
During this time of the Evangelicals And Catholics Together (ECT) accord, I think it is important to be able to put good information into people’s hands. This is an easy read of fewer than 150 pages but gives precise and usable information on understanding the Catholic church and seeing the issues of salvation. Armstrong gives […]
Evangelicals & Catholics Together Toward
This is a collection of articles written by Colson, Neuhaus, George Weigel, Mark A. Noll, Avery Dulles, and J.I. Packer defending their support of the ECT statement. Also, they attempt to answer the criticisms leveled by R.C. Sproul, John MacArthur and others who have declared that ECT invalidates the reformation theological position of sola fida […]
Faith Alone
This 1995 Baker book is a Reformed or Protestant answer to the Evangelicals and Catholics Together accord. It is forwarded by Michael Horton and recommended by John MacArthur, R. Albert Mohler, Jr., James M. Boice and Jerry Bridges. Sproul has done a great service to those of us who cannot agree with the accord in […]
Exit Interviews
Churches all across America are doing their best to attract new members through the front door, but at the same time are losing thousands every week out the back door. In his book, Hendricks presents sixteen cases of people who have become disillusioned with the church and have left for various reasons. While the largest […]
Handbook of Evangelical Theology
This is a recent book (1995) by Lightner, long time professor of systematic theology at Dallas Seminary. It is a progression through the major areas of theology, each including a historical perspective, a positive statement of the doctrine and an update on areas where today’s Christians differ. It is very helpful in presenting the latest […]
Inferno
A Couple Notes About Hell C.S. Lewis wrote, “It is a good rule, after reading a new book, never to allow yourself another new one till you have read an old one in between. If that is too much, you should at least read one old one to every three new ones” (God in the […]
