A solid classic by the great theological scholar, J. I. Packer. A theological masterpiece. This is a small easy-to-read, 126-page paperback on the theological issue balancing God's sovereignty with man's responsibility for evangelism. Copy written in 1961 and this is a FIRST EDITION with a printing date of May 1966. This concise review is found online: "Everything I've ever read from the pen of James Innell Packer has been pure gold. This book is no exception. It is short enough to be read quickly, but packed with such solid theology that it can be read over and over with new benefits. The strength of this book is not the presentation of methods for evangelism (Packer spends little time with this), but rather the theological tension of divine sovereign and human responsibility. Packer leads the reader into the deep end of the doctrinal pool gently, slowly, and with Scriptural fidelity and clarity."

Looking for an almost new, never read commentary on the Gospel of John? Here's yours! This 346-page paperback gives verse-by-verse exposition of this Gospel providing solid and biblical teaching. Online review: "This is not your typical verse by verse exegetical commentary. While it goes deep enough to satisfy your intellectual appetite, it really is more focused on giving you a resource for teaching and preaching, rather than giving you ammunition for your next doctoral thesis. In other words, it is highly practical and written for the average reader. This does not mean that serious students have nothing to gain from it. Far from it. But the goal of most students is to eventually be able to better share their faith with others and this commentary could be a very useful tool in that respect. Before many sections of the book there is a "Preaching Focus", and what would normally be called exegetical notes are called "Notes for Preaching and Teaching." There are introductions to important sections and… Read More

Check out this amazingly well preserved classic
by Dr. Clark Pinnock! This 256 page paperback is as new & contains an extensive Bibliography plus valuable Index of Subjects and Persons & Selected Scripture Index.
Back cover states: "In Biblical Revelation
an outstanding young theologian contrasts the scriptural concepts of inspiration and revelation with today's inadequate religious philosophies. Using a straightforward, hard biting style, the author refutes those philosophies in their own terms. After showing that scripture is the epistemological base of Christian theology, Pinnock considers specific Scriptures claiming diving authorship and the not-to-be ignored implications of those Scriptures. The author proves that the authority of church leaders through the centuries has been sola scriptura, a theological base far superior to contemporary modifications of that position. After comparing negative biblical criticism and a proper Christian criticism, Pinnock analyzes traditional and modern systems… Read More
