Mal Couch is a good dispensational pretribulational premillennialist. We usually find him writing on prophetic subjects. In this study of the Holy Spirit he takes the reader through the Old and New Testaments book by book reviewing the various teachings on the Holy Spirit in each book and each age. The more controversial views would […]

Gospel Reset
Ken Ham has become the leading figure in Biblical creationism and rightly so. His Creation Museum and Ark projects are fantastic displays of Biblical testimony to an early earth creation. This little book is a proposition from Ham that the church is out of step with the presentation of the gospel in our day. He […]
The Power of Suffering
John MacArthur always seems to write challenging books. Though I’m more of a Baptist than he, I appreciate MacArthur’s conservative stance on worldliness and related issues, charismatic issues, moral issues, and his love of Scripture. This book, written in 1995, is basically a study of several passages of Scripture having to do with suffering in […]
Transformed by His Glory
This is a study by Charles Ryrie of how the believer understands and lives in the light of God’s glory. In the process Ryrie takes the reader through a number of biblical texts and, in his own unique style, draws his points and material from the text. He begins with major texts of the Old […]
Foundation Truths of Scripture
Professor John Laidlaw, D.D. (1832-1906) was born and educated in Edinburgh, Scotland, teaching first in the Reformed Presbyterian Church but later joined the Free Church of Scotland. This book, published by T. & T. Clark in 1897, is a book of doctrine laid out much like a systematic theology but much shorter. It is one […]
Israel and the Church
Diprose is Academic Dean at the Istituto Biblico Evangelico Italiano in Rome. This is part of his PhD dissertation. He is also an MA from Trinity University. This is an interesting look at the history of Replacement Theology from the church fathers through the Catholic Church to the Reformation. His thesis is that Replacement Theology […]
The Kingdom in History and Prophecy
Another book relating to theological reading this year is this 1915 book by the well-known founder and President of Dallas Seminary and forwarded by C.I. Scofield. My copy is a 1967 reprint though I also have a Kindle copy. I have been interested in the subject of the kingdom of God since my introduction to […]
Things Which Become Sound Doctrine
In my year of concentrating on reading more theology, some of these shorter books (See Ryrie, A Survey of Bible Doctrine in the January issue) serve as great refreshers and reminders of important doctrines. This is a 1965 edition from Pentecost, long-time professor of Bible Exposition at Dallas Theological Seminary. Pentecost is well known for […]
A Survey of Bible Doctrine
Charles Ryrie (1925-2016) was long-time professor of Systematic Theology at Dallas Theological Seminary and Dean of Doctoral Studies. He was an ardent dispensationalist, pretribulationalist, and premillennialist. His book, Dispensationalism Today (now reprinted as Dispensationalism, of which I treasure an autographed copy from him in person) has been a standard text book for conservative schools for […]
Jesus On Trial
I am always open to reading new material from a variety of authors. I have been interested in seeing and hearing David Limbaugh (the brother of the well known Rush) on television and radio because of his conversion to Christianity and his effective witness in those public forums. This is a 2014 book on apologetics […]
