Addresses on Prophecy

I have read these small hard-bound books by Scofield as I have found them.  They were printed by The Gospel Hour, INC. directed by Oliver B. Greene but without a publishing date (which was circa 1900+).  Scofield was an early Dispensationalist who probably did as much for Bible study as any man in the 20th […]

The Biblical Faith of Baptists, Vol 3

This congress was held in my home church, Landmark Baptist Temple, Cincinnati, Ohio, the year I graduated from high school, 1968.  The speakers were Tom Malone, James T. Jeremiah, Ernest Pickering, Noel Smith, Ed Nelson, Bryce Augsburger and others.  This is the third of five volumes that contain all the messages in printed form.  The […]

The Biblical Faith of Baptists, Vol 2

I have been reading this series of books this year.  Each volume contains the messages that were preached at the Fundamental Baptist Congresses of North America, beginning in 1963 through 1974.  This second volume (preached in Grand Rapids in 1966) contains messages by names such as, A.V. Henderson, Richard Clearwaters, Robert Ketchum, Monroe Parker, G.B. […]

The Secret Sayings of Jesus

There is a renewed interest these days in the non-canonical writings about the New Testament, especially The Gospel of Thomas.  Some of this is due to the recent Jesus Seminar.  Some of this is due to archaeological findings contemporary with the Dead Sea Scrolls.  In 1945, in Nag Hammadi, Egypt, many apocryphal scrolls were found […]

Studying the Historical Jesus

I found Bock’s book to be a good review of inter-testament history and the reliability of the Gospel record.  Bock is professor in New Testament at Dallas Seminary and has recently become known for his Progressive Dispensationalism (which shows through in only a couple places).  Bock is rightly critical of the Jesus Seminar and of […]

Loving Christ

I received this book as a gift.  It is a part II publication from Zondervan (the first being Following Christ).  Stowell, president of Moody Bible Institute, gives applications from gospel accounts in the life of Christ.  This kind of writing is different from traditional treatments on the life of Christ from men like G.C. Morgan […]

The Fundamentals, Vol 4

The most rewarding reading for me from 2003 has been the four volumes called The Fundamentals.  Though I had heard of them throughout my ministry and have heard many speakers and writers refer to them, the actual reading of them was a different experience than what I expected.  Most notable (as I mentioned after reading […]

Predestination and Free Wil

This is another of the “Four Views” books that allows four authors to present their view of the subject and then three other authors to respond. John Feinberg and Norman Geisler present two views upholding God’s sovereignty over Man’s free choices. Bruce Reichenback and Clark Pinnock present two views denying God’s knowledge over those events. […]
