Introduction to Bible

Inerrancy
By Norman Geisler / Zondervan
This is another in a series of books sponsored by the International Council on Biblical Inerrancy. The fourteen leading evangelical scholars who have contributed to this volume come from various denominations and have written on a wide range of topics related to the doctrine of the inerrancy of the Bible. Believing that this doctrine is "an essential element of the authority of Scripture and a necessary ingredient for the health of the church of Christ," they have made a strong defense of it. This book is presented as an appeal to the church of Jesus Christ. To those churches that hold to the inerrancy of Scripture, it is a call to hold the line. To those churches that have given way to the persuasions of radical higher criticism, it is a call to return to the historic position of Christianity. Inerrnacy is shown to be a doctrine of crucial importance to the church. Norman Geisler (PhD, Loyola University) is president of Southern Evangelical Seminary and author or coauthor of over fifty books including Decide for Yourself, Baker's Encyclopedia of Apologetics, and When Skeptics Ask.

Systematic Theology, Volume 1: Introduction, Bible
By Dr. Norman Geisler / Bethany
Theologian and apologist Norman Geisler has been studying and defending the faith for over forty years. He has written numerous books and is an internationally known speaker and debater. He brings his vast experience to this book, the first volume in a proposed four-volume look at systematic theology, which will examine Christian belief, doctrine and practice.
This book focuses on the philosophical underpinnings of Christianity, and displays Geisler's impressive grasp of the foundations and implications of Christian theology. He examines and defends the philosophical essentials (preconditions) which make Christianity both possible and viable. The preconditions include: the metaphysical, the supernatural, the revelational, the rational, the semantical, the epistemological, the oppositional, the linguistic, the hermeneutic, the historical and the methodological.
In addition to the philosophical foundations and preconditions, Geisler also presents an extensive bibliology, covering important topics like the origin and inspiration of the Bible, its divine nature, how Jesus and the early church viewed and used the Bible, how various Christian traditions view the Bible, and more. He looks at the biblical, historical and theological aspects of Christian doctrine, offering erudite arguments for the historicity of both the Old and New Testament canons. He discusses inerrancy, and canonicity (focusing on formation and development), and includes two appendices on major objections which have been raised against theistic beliefs, and on how we should interpret historical facts.
All told, this volume sets a high standard for the rest of the series to live up to. It can easily stand alone as a thorough introduction to Christian doctrine and practice. If its quality is matched by the rest of Geisler's Systematic Theology series, this set will easily become one of the standards for instruction in systematic theology. This volume belongs in every Christian library.

Dangers of New Evangelism

Tragedy of Compromise
By Ernest D. Pickering / Journeyforth
With all of the praise heaped upon the New Evangelicalism by secular and liberal sources, the movement has seriously compromised the biblical principles inherited from its fundamentalist forefathers. Furhtermore, like a car without brakes careening down a mountainside, New Evangelicalism has sped headlong into accommodations with un Christian philosophies and standards that make even the founding fathers of the movement draw back. It illustrates the degradation that results from religious compromise.

In Pursuit of Purity: A History of American Fundamentalism since 1850
By David Beale / Journeyforth
Men from nearly every denomination and all walks of life are a part of that history: from Lyman Stewart, a Christian businessman, to J.Greshman Machen, the learned Princeton professor; from the fiery evangelist Billy Sunday to the dignified pastor W.B. Riley. These colorful men were united by a common goal: faithfulness to their Lord and Saviour. And their activities were as varied as their backgrounds: pastoring churches, evangelizing the lost, conducting Bible and prophetic conferences, exposing liberalism, establishing Christian schools and colleges, and publishing Christian literature.
