BOOK NOTES

We believe you would be impressed by our handsomely bound volumes of this journal. We now have six volumes, dating back to 1977, and the prices are moderate, not much more than the regular subscription. They are as follows. When you purchase all six volumes for $55.00, we pay the postage.

Principles of Unity and Fellowship (1977), $5.95

The Ancient Order (1978), $5.95

Blessed Are the Peacemakers and With All The Mind, (1979-80), $10.50

Deacons: Male and Female by Stephen Sandifer challenges the all-male ministry position taken by Churches of Christ and others. He argues that a church may scripturally have both male and female deacons. $12.50 postpaid.

The Christian System by Alexander Campbell has been republished. It is a basic text for studying the old pioneer. $12.50 postpaid.

You will find The Study and Use of the Bible, by three different scholars, a liberating book in that it provides fresh insights into questions of inspiration and interpretation and new approaches to Bible study. $14.95 postpaid.

We still offer a free copy of The Stone-Campbell Movement by Leroy Garrett when you send us eight subs to this journal, including your own, new or renewal, total $24.00, but you must request the book.

That great little book by John Stott, What Christ Thinks of the Church, is again available to our readers at $6.50 postpaid. Based on the letters to the seven churches, it does tell us what Christ thinks of the church in every age.

K. C. Moser, who was one of the freer spirits in the Church of Christ of the past generation, wrote two books back in the 1950's that are as much or more in demand today than when he wrote them. That may mean he was ahead of his time. The books are The Way of Salvation and The Gist of Romans. They are strong on the grace of God. They are $6.25 each, postpaid.

A veritable goldmine of information on Paul and early Christianity is F. F. Bruce's Paul: Apostle (4the Heart Set Free. It is a 500-page study of the apostle in his historical, literary setting, and it is super. A book that you will return to again and again. $21.95.

       We recommend several titles on Restoration history: Endangered Heritage by Walt Yancey ($12.95); Moses Lard, That Prince of Preachers by Kenneth Van Deusen ($14.95); The Fool of God by Louis Cochran, a historical novel on the life of Alexander Campbell ($10.95); The Sage of Bethany: A Pioneer in Broadcloth by Perry Gresham, also on Campbell ($12.95); The Well Ordered Home, Alexander Campbell and the Family, by Edwin Groover (12.95)
