This book is subtitled: “An Unorthodox Proposal.” Helseth sets out to defend the theologians of Old Princeton (Alexander, Hodge, Warfield, Machen) against the accepted scholarly opinion of their theology. The accepted opinion states that these men illegitimately borrowed categories and philosophies from Enlightenment thinking, such as Scottish Common Sense Realism and Baconianism. And so, this […]

The Only Hope of the Church or World
See this month’s article (Aletheia, June, 2012) for my appreciation of this book. Riley was a fundamentalist from Minneapolis who fought against the social gospel of his day that was being pushed by liberals. The liberal approach was to change the definitions of the church and the kingdom and take the emphasis away from personal […]
Law and Grace
This new book by Dr. Houghton is a long-awaited and welcomed addition to the important issue of law and grace in the believer’s life. It could as well have been titled, “Law, Gospel, & Grace” because that is the three-fold division Dr. Houghton suggests as a Dispensational solution to the confusion over law and grace, […]
In the Shadow of Grace
I’m always interested in biographies of English preachers and ministers, especially those whom we study or recognize on our UK tour each Spring. Morgan (1863-1945) was one of England’s greatest pulpiteers. This short volume was written by his grandchildren and their spouses in 2007 and is sadly disappointing. No doubt because of their close connection […]
Studies in the Epistle to the Hebrews
Most are familiar with English’s work, Re-Thinking The Rapture, but may not be aware of his great commentary on the book of Hebrews. This was first printed in 1955 by Loizeaux Brothers. This is a detailed work similar to William Newell and is trustworthy in matters of types, covenants, and law vs. grace.
Velvet Elvis
Velvet Elvis was written in 2005 and is Bell’s first book. This book is as clear a statement on the theology and theological method of Bell as there is. It also includes a clear discussion regarding his views of heaven, hell, and salvation (see chapter 6) which appear in Love Wins. I am a little […]
From Sabbath to Lord’s Day
The subtitle is: “A biblical, historical, and theological investigation.” This book was published by Wipf and Stock Publishers, Eugene, OR in 1999 but was originally published by Zondervan. It contains 12 chapters by 7 authors substantiating Sunday as the proper day for believers to worship. It answers the most recent writers who advocate either a […]
In The Law of Christ
When Paul wrote that if we walked in the Spirit we would not fulfill the lust of the flesh (Gal. 5:16) and that if we bore one another’s burdens we would fulfill the law of Christ (Gal. 6:2), he was lifting us to higher ground than we commonly know. To the Romans he wrote, “for […]
The God Who Is There
I was first drawn to this book because it bears the same title as Francis Schaeffer’s 1968 book. It was almost as interesting but has no relationship to it. But I also enjoy reading D.A. Carson, a mainstream evangelical who is usually very fair to his fundamentalist brethren. This book is an overview of the […]
A Systematic Theology of Christian Relig...
Dr. McCune’s teaching ministry at Central Seminary and Detroit Seminary has touched many lives in fundamental Baptist circles. His solid dispensational approach to Scripture and his separatist stand for truth have kept his works relevant and timely. This second volume to his ongoing Systematic Theology series contains the doctrines of Man, Sin, Christ, and the […]
