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. |

of our churches, workplaces and homes. In this indispensable volume
MacArthur explores more than 60 essential character traits of godly
leaders and explains how mentors can enable younger leaders to develop
these characteristics. Let Pastor MacArthur teach you how to raise
up godly leaders who are instruments of blessing to the church,

look. |

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. |
