BOOK NOTES

 

If you are interested in a serious study of evangelical theology where there is commitment to Biblical faith and where Jesus is uncompromisingly presented as alive and real, we recommend Helmut Thielicke’s The Evangelical Faith, now in three volumes. You might start with the newest one, Vol. 3, which is on The Holy Spirit, the Church, and Eschatology, which is probably the most useful of the volumes to most of us. If you have never made a systematic study of the great Biblical themes, this would be a good place to start, for Thielicke, now retired from the University of Hamburg, Germany, is one of the most readable of modern theologians. This Vol. 3, just off the press, is a handsome hardback of nearly 500 pages. 22.95 postpaid.

You have probably heard J. Vernon McGee on the radio. His splendid Bible teaching, which is both simple and practical, is now available in paperbacks. Ruth: The Romance of Redemption and Esther: The Romance of Providence are delightfully warm and informative. They are 5.50 each, postpaid.

While no longer new, we continue to recommend the books by John R. W. Stott. We stock our three favorites, which will become your favorites once you read them. Basic Christianity (3.50), Your Mind Matters (2.25), What Christ Thinks of the Church (3.50). These are all renewal books and really strike home. The prices include postage.

Edersheim’s unabridged 2-vol. set (in one volume) of Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah is again available, at 19.95 pp. This is a library within itself, one of the greatest books in religion ever published, packed with information.

Robert Mounce is coming out with a commentary on 1 & 2 Peter, entitled A Living Hope, at 5.50 pp. Order now and we will put it in the mail to you as soon as it is ready.

For 16.95 we will send you what we believe to be the best Bible dictionary available The New Westminster Bible Dictionary.

You should remember that we still have three bound volumes of this journal available, covering four years of publication. Principles of Unity and Fellowship (1977) and The Ancient Order (1978) are single volumes at 5.50 each. Blessed Are the Peacemakers and With All the Mind (1979-80) is a double volume at 8.50. These are handsome volumes with dust jacket and table of contents. The response to these have been so favorable that we are willing to sell them on a money-back guarantee.

Since bookkeeping has become too much of a problem, we ask you to send a check with your order, please.
