I found this book both frustrating and very helpful. My frustrations with it mostly come from my expectations of the book, based on the title. I had no idea before reading it what was intended by “a man as priest.” My first thoughts were that this was somehow colliding with continue reading…
In Not as a Thief: A Historic Premillennial Perspective on the Rapture, Kimbro does an excellent job demonstrating the utter lack of biblical evidence for a pre-tribulational rapture. He focuses on the timing of the rapture (as the title emphasizes) rather than the millennium, making this an excellent book no continue reading…
An excellent exposition of the doctrines contained in the 2nd London Baptist Confession. It is not, as I expected, a discussion of the Confession itself so much as of the doctrines. Waldron does give pertinent information regarding the Confession (such as when it varies from the Westminster & Savoy) but continue reading…
An excellent book discussing Christ’s love for his people. Ortlund isn’t always theologically guarded in his statements but this isn’t a systematic theology; it is an excellent and biblically grounded devotional book written for the average reader. God loves his children more deeply than we think.
Very interesting exploration of early Baptist ecclesiology. By no means an easy read, the reading can be a bit tedious at times due to the large number of quotations that are incorporated. But the information given is invaluable and well worth the occasional slog to get through. The information found continue reading…
In ten short chapters, Haldane gives a concise scriptural argument for both the continuation of Sabbath command and the change of the specific day of the Sabbath from the seventh to the first/eighth. Writing just prior to the rise of the Dispensational views, Haldane’s arguments are nevertheless quite relevant to continue reading…
With this book, Waymeyer presents a premillennial response to many of the strongest arguments that have been put forward by ammillennialists over the past ~100 years. In particular, as the subtitle suggests, he attempts to respond to the two-age model that has taken a prominent place as the premier systematic continue reading…
A good though short history of Baptist origins in America. Waldron briefly gives the story of how the Particular (Reformed) Baptists first came to dominate religious life in America and then, for various reasons, lost or abandoned their beliefs, opening the door for Modernism/Liberalism, Dispensationalism, and other departures from the continue reading…
This book suffers severely from McClain’s rejection (or possibly ignorance) of the biblical case for the three-fold division of the law. Additionally, McClain tends to confuse justification and sanctification in the context of the use of the law in the life of the Christian; thus, he rejects any continuing applicability continue reading…
Nice, short, and easy reading on the proper keeping of the New Testament Sabbath. Ray shows how the Sabbath was corrupted by Israel such that what we usually think of as Sabbath keeping is actually a quasi-pagan practice, not the restful, joyful day that Christ established. Ray refuses to give continue reading…
