BOOK NOTES

 

Elizabeth Achtemeier is both a theological professor (Union Seminary in Virginia) and a preacher. She says the people in the pew are interested especially in two issues, their work and their home life. She charges that both of these are neglected in the pulpit. You do not have to be a preacher, though it might help, to appreciate her Preaching About Family Relations in which she tells what ought to be said about marriage, sex, divorce, the elderly, male and female roles, children. $10.50 postpaid.

In his Faith Healing: Fact or Fiction? Waymon Miller tells you whether miracles really happen in healing revivals, and he lays out the embarrassing fact of multitudes of failures, along with dealing with the psychology of faith healing. A readable and responsible work. $11.50 postpaid.

Re-Baptism by Jimmy Allen weighs the question of what and how much one must know at the time of his baptism. It deals in a general way with the rebaptism issue as it has affected Churches of Christ. He takes the view that one only needs to be a believer at the time of his baptism. $9.95 postpaid.
