BOOK NOTES

 

A publication marvel is the new, fully revised International standard Bible Encyclopedia in four volumes, with each volume more than 1,000 pages. Beautifully bound and colorfully illustrated, it has articles on every place and person mentioned in Scripture. It is not only rich in archaeology and historical data, but it has articles on every major biblical theme. It is probably the most up40-date reference work avail- able. We highly recommend it as a library within itself. All four volumes for $159.95, postpaid, or you can purchase one volume at a time at $39.95 each, postpaid. 

The publishers of Walt Yancey's Endangered Heritage: An Examination of Church of Christ Doctrine have labeled it "Controversial." While it may prove to be too painful for many in the Church of Christ, we owe it to ourselves to face the same judgments we have imposed on others. Walt draws heavily on the writings of the pioneers, quoting them at length on crucial questions, and shows that we have been less than faithful to our heritage or to Scripture. $12.50 postpaid. 

I am now reading with great interest A Life of Bishop John A. T. Robinson: Scholar, Pastor, Prophet by Eric James. Not only does the book tell the engrossing story of a controversial bishop of the Church of England, who was the author of Honest to God, which sold a million copies, but it lays bare the political underbelly of that church. Those interested in the life of other churches will profit from it. $21.95 postpaid.

We will still send you 18 back issues of this journal for only $3.00, but at this price, which barely pays more than the postage, we select at random from our supply. If you are selective the price is 40 cents per copy. This offer is especially for our newer readers who would like to know what we have said back through the years. 

We have long needed a hook that offers hope to the divorced, and Olan Hicks' What the Bible Says About Marriage, Divorce, and Remarriage does that. He challenges the contention that some divorced people do not have the right to remarry. $13.95 postpaid. 

All books noticed in this column may be ordered from us at prices stated. 

We still offer as a bonus The Stone-Campbell Movement by Leroy Garrett (value $21.95) when you send in 8 subs, new or renewal, at $3.00 per name (total $24.00) or you may order the hook at $21.95, and if you remit in advance we pay the postage.

You may order all five of our bound volumes of Restoration Review, which include the years 1977-1984, for only $40.00 postpaid. These are hard bound, matching volumes of high quality, with dust jackets.
