BOOK NOTES

 

Those of you who have access to the Millennial Harbinger will want the Index to the set that is now available, having been prepared through years of effort by David J. McWhirter of the Disciples of Christ Historical Society in Nashville. 19.95 postpaid.

If you prefer a more conservative one-volume commentary on the entire Scriptures, we suggest The New Bible Commentary: Revised, edited by Donald Guthrie. It is now completely up-to-date in drawing upon new discoveries and information. 24.95 postpaid. If you venture a more “liberal” approach, we highly recommend Peake’s Bible Commentary. Back to my days at Harvard I’ve always heard of “Peake” as a great name in Bible commentaries. It too is now completely revised. We can sell you a copy at 24.95, which is a 10.00 reduction from the regular price. But Peake is obviously not for everyone.

D. Martin Lloyd-Jones was a physician turned theologian, and he has written some of the best stuff ever. His Studies on the Sermon on the Mount will thrill your soul. The two-volume set is now in one volume for 15.95 postpaid. His Spiritual Depression: Its Causes and Its Cure at only 5.95 postpaid is excellent. We are willing to issue these titles on a money-back guarantee. They would make excellent gifts.

For years we have sold The New Westminster Dictionary of the Bible with good conscience and to the satisfaction of the customer. There are many Bible dictionaries, but we believe this one does more for you than any. 16.95 postpaid.

Memoirs of Alexander Campbell, two volumes in one is now 19.95, but it is still a bargain, for it is a veritable gold mine for studies in Restoration history. And we still have The Fool of God, a historical novel on Campbell’s life for 5.50 pp.

You can read an excellent account of the early centuries of the church in only 177 pages in A Short History of the Early Church by Harry R. Boer. It tells of the persecutions, Gnosticism, Marcionism, Montanism, the works, all lean. 4.50 pp.

J. I. Packer, one of the seminal writers today, says God has spoken in order to make friends of us. His God Has Spoken (1965) has been republished with a new introduction by the author. 4.55 pp.

Do you want to learn to say “I love you,” or do you want someone else to learn it? For only 2.50 pp. we will send you How Do You Say, “I Love You”? It is the kind of book that changes lives.

Several of our readers are pleased with What the Bible Says About Faith and Opinion by W. Robert Palmer. But it is more than what the Bible says in that it is an excellent treatment on the subject since the time of our pioneers. 13.50 pp.

For 3.50 we will send you Barclay’s paperback New Testament, a new translation by the old Scotsman himself. And since the Mormons continue to be ubiquitous, we still have The Mormon Papers at 4.10. This book leaves no Mormon stone unturned, including an expose of the prophet’s spurious translation from the Egyptian papyri. The last chapter is a practical guide on how to get a Mormon to examine the basis of his faith.

 

This is a sample page from The Stone-Campbell Movement: An Anecdotal History of Three Churches, by Leroy Garrett, after years of painstaking research. While this is but a copy of a copy of the original type, it gives you an idea what it will look like. The pre-pub price is 17.95, which is a bargain as books go these days. Send us your name to reserve a copy. We will enclose invoice with the book. It will be some weeks yet before it is ready. College Press, the publishers, are giving the book a unique touch: some 35 new drawings of the heroes of the Movement, with individual biographies, from the Campbells to P. H. Welshimer, G. C. Brewer, and Marshall Keeble, whom we depict as “the father of the BLACK Church of Christ.” You had better reserve a copy or you may miss the first printing!
