BOOK NOTES

Two books that will hold special interest to you are by Robert Shank, who was for 20 years a Baptist minister but now with Churches of Christ. The volumes have to do with questions that disturbed the author while he was a Baptist, and yet they are of such breadth as to get to the very heart of the meaning of the gospel. Life in the Son is an examination of the doctrine of eternal security or “once saved always saved,” known in theology as the doctrine of perseverance. No less a person than Dr. Adams, professor of New Testament at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, who writes the Introduction, says that it is arresting and disturbing, a book to be reckoned with by all serious students of the Bible.” The other volume, Elect in the Son, is a thorough treatment of the question of election. We recommend both of these volumes to you with enthusiasm. They are both beautifully bound and are substantial books, and for today’s prices they are a bargain at 4.95 each.
