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 […]

That Old-Time Religion in Modern America
Hart is professor of church history and dean at Westminster Theological Seminary. He has written also in the area of Reformed worship (With Reverence and Awe, D.G. Hart & J.R. Muether) and American church history (see last month’s Book Shelf). Hart’s purpose in this book (2002) is to examine the influence evangelicalism has had on […]
Conflict Under Control
Jeff Newman is an associate professor at Faith Baptist Bible College in Ankeny, IA where he teaches Biblical counseling and introductory Greek. The book is printed by Regular Baptist Press as part of their Bible Study series. It is a look at conflicts as the apostle Paul dealt with them in the book of Philippians. […]
Biblical Separation
Regular Baptist Press has published a second edition of the late Dr. Ernest Pickering’s 1979 classic on separation. The new edition has updated some of the language as well as the footnoting to today’s style and information usage. Dr. Myron Houghton, senior professor and department chair of systematic theology at Faith Baptist Theological Seminary, has […]
Lectures on First and Second Peter
We all use commentaries and they are not the usual material for book reviews. However, having just preached through the book of First Peter and having used this reprinted book (Klock & Klock) throughout, I felt compelled to give old John Lillie my thanks. A Scotchman from the University of Edinburgh, Lillie was pastor of […]
Day by Day with Jonathan Edwards
One reading habit I have tried to maintain is to read through a “daily” reading book each year. This is the second book in this series that I’ve read and have enjoyed them both (the first being the Early Church Fathers). Jonathan Edwards may be hard enough for someone to read, especially from his theology […]
Absolutely Free
Written in 1989, this book has been the declaration voice of the Free Grace Movement. At that time Hodges was the long-time professor of New Testament Greek at Dallas Seminary. Since his departure from that seminary he has been influential in founding and writing for the Grace Evangelical Society (GES) which advocates the Free Grace […]
Paul and the Intellectuals
It has been years since I preached through the book of Colossians and therefore years since I read through Robertson’s great commentary on that book. In preaching though Colossians this summer, I have reread this book with great appreciation. These individual commentaries are much more satisfying than his Word Pictures (which can be very helpful […]
The Dominance of Evangelicalism
I have been searching for a couple books by David Bebbington and this one happened to arrive in the mail first. Bebbington is a Cambridge scholar who teaches in Scotland at the University of Stirling. In this book he traces the rise of early evangelicalism in the UK and America during the rise of Liberalism […]
Christianity According to the Wesleys
This ninety page book was originally given as a lecture in 1954 as a defense of historic Methodism. Historic information is taken largely from the letters, literature and music scores of the Wesleys. From the author’s point of view, John and Charles Wesley started a back-to-the-Bible movement from within the Church of England which grew […]
