This is the fourth in the “Vital” series that I have read. These are reprinted articles from Dallas Seminary’s Bib Sac. I have enjoyed every one and I think they are a great way to brush up on your rusty theology with current application.

Born Crucified
This little book has been read by many in search of a deeper walk with God. It is one of those books (and authors) that people either absolutely love or hate. I think that is because it represents the thirst in America for true, Holy Spirit revival and yet at the same time is a […]
Jacob’s Dozen
Will Varner is a well-known name in Israelite and prophetic studies. This is a ‘87 book which does two valuable things. Varner does a study on each of the twelve tribes of Israel according to Jacob’s blessing on each of them. This would make a wonderful character study. Also, Varner traces the present and future […]
Willing to Believe
This 1997 book by Sproul is a Calvinistic answer to Clark Pinnock, editor of a 1989 volume, The Grace of God, The Will of Man, a case for Arminianism. Sproul points out that though both sides give assent to the freedom of man to choose, the underlying issue is whether prevenient grace from God enables […]
Detroit Baptist Seminary Journal
I receive various Seminary Journals (and usually read them). I don’t always review them as I might a book (though they are often more profitable) nor am I, by mentioning the Journal, endorsing the Seminary. This issue of the Detroit Journal is worth ordering and reading. The first article by Rolland McCune (Seminary President) is […]
And They Sang A New Song
I saw in my dreams that just as Christian came up to the cross, his burden loosed from his shoulders and fell from his back and began to tumble till it came to the mouth of the sepulcher, where it fell in and I saw it no more. Then was Christian glad and lightsome and […]
The Grace of God and the Will of Man
This is a series of fifteen treatise’, written in 1989, by different authors from an Arminian point of view. Pinnock is well known for his views on Hell and a few of the others such as William L. Craig and Richard Rice are well known for their writings on man’s free will. Though I cannot […]
His Deeper Work In Us
This is the second in a trilogy of books by Baxter that I am reading this year. As I wrote in the first review (Feb.), I find Baxter an interesting middle ground on Holiness teaching. He does believe that a Christian should come to a crisis experience in life but he does not believe in […]
The Christian Conscience
Regular Baptist Press offers a number of small books for pastors including this 1984 study on the biblical definition of the conscience. His view is that the conscience is inherent in man’s makeup but is something that is only active in exposing sin. Clagett contends that conscience cannot become a Christian’s guide because within a […]
The Biblical Faith of Baptists, Vol 1
I was given this book years ago by my friend, Lon Stewart. I had read bits and pieces of it but not all at once. In light of some controversies among Baptists today, this congress was an amazing meeting. The speakers included Wendell Zimmerman, Howard Sugden, Paul Jackson, Monroe Parker, John R. Rice, Lee Roberson, […]
