OFFICE NOTES

 

We remind you again of Carl Ketcherside’s Heaven Help Us, a very helpful study of the Holy Spirit in paperback for only 2.95. Add a dollar to that and we’ll include John Stott’s The Baptism Fullness of the Holy Spirit.

A very handsome, hardbound copy of The New International Version of the New Testament is 5.95. If you want the entire Bible in the New English Bible, neatly done in hard cover, we can send you one for 7.95.

The College Press, Box 1132, Joplin, Mo. 64801, has prepared the titles of its Restoration Reprints that it will issue in 1975. If you sign up for all of them, receiving one a month, you get a discount. These include such goodies as all three volumes of Z. T. Sweeney’s sermons, long unavailable. You can get details on what is offered and how you can sign up by writing directly to them. Carl Ketcherside is beginning his last year of publication with his January number. If you are not on his mailing list for Mission Messenger, you can receive this last (and probably best) year for only 1.00 by writing him at 139 Signal Hill Dr., St. Louis 63121 .

If you would like to read a Christian lawyer’s view of the resurrection and miracles, we recommend A Lawyer Among the Theologians. A college student beset with doubts would profit, and it is only 2.95.

You will want to attend the St. Louis Forum, formerly the Hartford Forum, Dec. 30-31, at St. Louis Christian College, 1360 Grandview, Florissant, Mo. 63033. Carl Ketcherside and I will be on the program, but I don’t know who else. If you will write to Charles Boatman, dean of the college, he will send you a program.

This issue is the last of the series on The Church of Christ: Yesterday and Today. This series, covering two years, will be bound in a single volume. This will be our seventh bound volume, five single volumes and two double volumes. So, you can have our bound volumes all the way back to 1966. You should place your order for the 1973-74 volume now, but you need send no money. We will bill you. Prices on previous volumes are 3.50 for the single volumes. 4.50 for the double volume.

The theme for the next two years will have to do with the maltreatment of certain scriptures by champions of partyism, with some such title as The Word Abused. We will be taking a hard look at some sacred cows that are continually milked for sectarian advantage. Our first in the series will be on “Come Out from Among Them and Be Separate,” which you will find interesting. There will be many other features and articles along the way, which will be in the direction of analyzing the way men use the Bible to justify divisions and parties. One such extended treatment will be on What Kind of a Book is the Bible? which has to be decided before there can be much interpretation.
