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 […]
The Local Church of Revelation
All conservative scholars agree that Revelation is the last book to be added to the canon of sixty six inspired books and that the apostle John is the author. John is given his three-fold division of the book as, “the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall […]
Dispensationalism Before Darby
The title of this book invites you to read it. The common complaint about dispensationalism is that it began 150 years ago with John Nelson Darby. Watson gives abundant historical fact to the contrary. William Watson is Professor of History at Colorado Christian University. He received his B.A. in History from California State Polytechnic University, […]
