BOOK NOTES

 

Willard Cantelon set a lot of people to thinking with his The Day the Dollar Dies, in which he predicted our monetary decline. He has a new best seller, New Money or None, which may well change the way you will handle what money you may have. Since as Christians we believe that we are to make a responsible response to our impending financial crisis, this book, written by a noted authority on global finance, is a book you will want. 3.50 postpaid.

Another new book is a theology of the New Testament called The Christian Story, with chapters on God, Creation, Fall, Covenant, Christ, Salvation, Consummation, and God. This is an attempt to tell the story straight, to key in on what the scriptures really say to our age on the basic doctrines. 6.95 postpaid.

Even if you are an immersionist who believes only in believer’s baptism, you owe it to yourself to read the case for infant baptism, which does not have all that many defenders around these days. But a new book by a professor at Fuller Seminary, Children of Promise, does that very thing in an attempt to “get at the biblical understanding which underlies the continuation of infant baptism in many of the evangelical churches.” 4.50 postpaid.

A really super dictionary of the Bible, and the right one can take the place of several books of the inferior sort, is The New Westminister Dictionary of the Bible, published by the Presbyterians. It has 450 illustrations, recent and reliable, and information taken from archaeological collections around the world. 14.95 postpaid.

The Way of Salvation and The Gist of Romans by K. C. Moser’ are grace-packed, Christ-centered volumes by an old Church of Christ “liberal” back when he was about the only “liberal” we had. They are especially relevant because he knows our hangups and speaks to our needs, and a lot of our folk have just now begun to read him, wondering where he was all their lives. Coming out of the early 1950’s, these books will surprise and thrill you. 4.95 each postpaid.
