BOOK NOTES

 

If you are interested in serious Bible study. we highly recommend the 18-volume Daily Bible Study of the New Testament by William Barclay. You will treasure the set as a lifetime study, and by special purchase we are prepared to offer them at only 79.00 for the set, postpaid. This is the beautiful soft cover edition, the revised edition.

So popular is the above set that plans are under way to do with the Old Testament what the late Dr. Barclay did with the New. Same format and style, same easy-to-read, practical approach. Genesis (vol. I), Leviticus, and Daniel are available at 5.95 each, postpaid. Others will in time follow. I have been reading Genesis and find it exciting. You might want to start your set with it.

We agree with the Christian Herald that the New Westminster Dictionary of the Bible is “a goldmine of information about every major topic in the Bible.” We can supply it for 16.95, postpaid.

We have a new supply of In Search or God’s Ideal Woman, by Dorothy Pape, a missionary who writes out of a lifetime of being a woman in a man’s church. She not only deals with being a single and a widow and a wife, but with various ministries in the church. 6.50 postpaid.

James W. Sire, an English professor, has done the church a service with his Scripture Twisting in which he deals with 20 ways the Bible is misread and abused, especially by cults like the Mormons and the Witnesses. He treats such fallacies as inaccurate quotation, twisted translation, ignoring the context, and word play. It is a fine study in how not to interpret Scripture. 5.50 postpaid.

If you do not read devotional material as part of your spiritual discipline, we suggest you give it a try by using Anne White’s Dayspring, which provides a pertinent line from Scripture and a meditation upon it for every day in the year. It is a book that sparkles with gems of truth. 4.95 postpaid.

You can have two of Elton Trueblood’s books in inexpensive reprints, Confronting Christ and Alternative to Futility at only 1.75 each, postpaid.

Interpreting Revelation by Merrill Tenney may well be the most important book you could read on the last book of the Bible. It is 6.95 postpaid.

If you are interested in the church’s role in this technological age, you should read Howard Snyder’s two books, The Community of the King at 4.95, and The Problem of Wineskins at 5.50.

For 3.00 we will send you 18 back copies of this journal, postpaid, selected at random from several years back.

We have three bound volumes of this paper, covering four years of publication. Principles of Unity and Fellowship (1977) and The Ancient Order (1978) are 5.50 each. Blessed Are the Peacemakers and With All the Mind, a double volume, 1979-80, is 8.50. This year and last will be available as a double volume early in 1983.

Except for our own bound volumes and the history book, advertised on back page, we ask that you pay in advance on all book orders, for bookkeeping is too much of a problem for us. Thank you.
