Dr. McCune, former President of Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary, is a former professor of mine from Central Baptist Seminary in Minneapolis. Dr. McCune’s study of the evangelical movement over the last thirty to forty years is well known through classrooms, lectures and writings. It is a great help and blessing to fundamentalism to have this […]

Types In Hebrews
Have any Christian ministers of the twentieth century not profited from the writings of Sir Robert Anderson? Knighted by Queen Victoria in 1901, head of Scotland Yard, yet preaching since the age of 19, Anderson ought to be read.
The Next Chapter After the Last
Many of Tozers articles are being compiled into book form for present day readers. (This and others were done by Christian Publications, Camp Hill, PA). The unique article used in the title was Tozer’s defense of the resurrection of Christ. All other biographies end the last chapter with death, but the gospels have a chapter […]
Can God Stop Evil?
Can God Stop Evil? By Rick Shrader rhaps the most frequently asked question by skeptics today is why God allows evil to exist. From the holocaust to Columbine to 9-11, it has become more common and even acceptable to question why a good God allows human beings to suffer. In 1965 Stewart Zabriskie wrote, […]
Baptists and the Bible
This 1980 Moody book reads more like a list of biographies than a doctrine or church history book. The authors’ purpose was to show how Baptists have believed in the verbal inspiration and authority of the Scripture. In doing this, they include 29 stories of Baptists (ranging from giants like Gill, Spurgeon, Carroll, Robertson to […]
The Letters to the Seven Churches of Asi...
I read this book preaching through Rev. 2 & 3. You may know Ramsay on the life and history of Paul. Most commentaries get their historical notes on the seven churches from Ramsay (e.g. Barclay’s historical notes). First published in 1904, my copy has no date.
Purifying the Church
Ministry Books I thought Donald Whitney on Spiritual Disciplines Within the Church was great on local church life. Today’s Gospel by Walter Chantry was a Calvinistic criticism of today’s gospel-light. Stuart Briscoe on Purifying The Church is his commentary on Titus and has good applications for teaching and preaching. Quiet Talks on Power by S.D. Gordon was one of those challenging books that […]
Neoevangelicalism
I decided to go back and read this 1978 book thinking it would be an interesting parallel between what happened within evangelicalism in the 50s to the 70s and what is happening today within fundamentalism. It was indeed very interesting. Many of the same reasons that caused the neoevangelicals to leave evangelicalism are being repeated […]
Pathway to Freedom
I was given this book by my good friends at Mt. Tabor Baptist Church in Brownsburg, Indiana. I had not read Begg except by references. He is a pastor in the U.S. but with British background. This is a study of the Ten Commandments which have been adapted from his sermons. The most interesting part […]
Becoming Conversant with the Emerging Ch...
The sub-title is, “Understanding a Movement and Its Implications.” It was refreshing to read a scholar like Carson hold the “Emerging Church” writers’ feet to the fire. Carson takes the popular writers such as Brian McLaren, Robert Webber and Mike Yaconelli to task for their “nasty stereotypical” writing and for “condescendingly dismissing” older writers who […]
