BOOK NOTES

 

You have read enough of Cecil Hook in this journal to know that he is an able and resourceful writer, so you will want a copy of his Free In Christ, an attractive volume that is being distributed free of charge. Order from him at 1350 Huisache, New Braunfels, TX. 78130 and I suggest sending a dollar or two for postage. You can even request an extra copy for a friend. This lively volume is being widely read with appreciation.

We can make you a special deal on the four-volume set of Vincent’s Word Studies of the New Testament, which is one of the more responsible in-depth linguistic studies. It takes the books of the NT in order, verse by verse and gives the meaning from the Greek of the key words and phrases. While the Greek words and phrases are given so are their English equivalents. It is a gold mine of information. The retail price is 49.95 but we have it for 39.95 postpaid.

I have an autographed copy of Dale Moody’s The Word of Truth, which is a remarkable study of most biblical themes, which makes it a systematic theology. You will delight in his treatment of sin, salvation, the church, apostasy (He takes the Campbellite position!), the millennium, etc. Once you study, as I have done, and not just read this book you will benefit greatly from Moody’s 40 years as professor at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, and you will see why he has been a burr under the Baptist theological saddle, just as he would be if he were among us. 24.95 postpaid is not high considering the size of the volume.

Another of my favorites that I never finish is F. F. Bruce’s Paul: Apostle of the Heart Set Free, which will serve as a small library within itself for New Testament studies. I recommend it enthusiastically as a book to read if you want to really learn something. 18.95 postpaid.

And if you want to know something about your own heritage in Churches of Christ-Christian Churches I recommend my own book, The Stone-Campbell Movement: An Anecdotal History of Three Churches. The price is 21.95 and we pay the postage, or you can get a bonus copy free when you send us eight subs to this journal, which may include your own renewal.
