From his rural Welsh background to St Bartholomew’s Hospital (where at the age of 23 he was Chief Clinical Assistant to Sir Thomas Horder, the King’s Physician), then, suddenly at 27, to a struggling Calvinistic Methodist Church in Aberavon, South Wales, he appears successively as schoolboy, dairyman’s assistant, political enthusiast, debater, doctor, and finally Christian preacher.Some regarded his change of career as romantic, others as foolish. The one thing of which Dr Lloyd-Jones was sure was that his settlement amid the industrial depression of South Wales was no sacrifice: ‘I gave up nothing. I received everything. I count it the highest honour God can confer on any man to call to be herald of the gospel’This volume traces the unforgettable events of his first pastorate, his wider ministry in Wales (where, by 1933, the press reported, ‘he draws thousands to hear his message in all parts of the Principality’), his first visits to North America, and finally his settlement at Westminster Chapel, London,on the eve of World War II. While some saw him as ‘the modern Moody’, and others as ‘the last of the Calvanistic preachers’, Iain H. Murray’s work makes constant use of the hitherto unpublished material, and is able to present Dr Lloyd-Jones’ own view of his life and ministry.

    For twenty-eight years I was intimately associated with that people, as member, minister, writer and author and aided much in building up that work. I joined them only fourteen years from their beginning, hence became well acquainted with all its founders, their early theories, and have all their first books published during the first forty years. Am perfectly familiar with every argument they use and the answer to it. I know their inside history and weak points as others could not. It is a complete text book on that subject. Here is what competent judges say who have read and used it :“On some subjects there is one book that stands so far above all other books on the same subject that if a person has that one book he needs no other on that subject. Canrights Seventh-Day Adventism Renounced is just such a book. It is a complete and perfect exposure of that delusion from beginning to end. Adventists have attempted no reply to it for the simple reason that they cannot, so they are trying to throw doubt on his character and standing, but that also is a hopeless task. If you are troubled with Adventism, get this book. Read it; study it; lend it ; confront them with it ; insist on them meeting it, and you will have no more trouble with them.”--Southland Evangelist, Hartworth, Texas.“It is the best book I have ever seen on the subject, after a study of it for twenty years.”--Rev. Wm. Armstrong, Canton, Pa., Genessee Conf. of M. E. Church.“It is a very full discussion of the question on which Adventists differ from us.”--Baptist Christian Herald, Detroit, Michigan.“It is a thorough exposure of this, modern delusion. How any system of error can survive such an exposure will be a mystery. This book ought to be circulated in every community where Adventism is preached.”--Christian Oracle (Disciple) Des Moines, Iowa.“I am delighted with it. It is kind, candid, careful, correct and comprehensive. I heartily commend the work as the best that has yet been published on that subject.”--Prof. D. R. Dungan, President of Drake University, Des Moines, Iowa.“He exposes with unsparing logic, but never with malice, the errors of Seventh-Day Adventism. This book is eminently fitted to do good.”--Rev. Kendall Brooks, D. D., ex- President of Kalamazoo College, Michigan.“I did not know that it was possible to give so perfect an answer to t the letter of Adventism I have always felt that its spirit was contrary to the Gospel. Your exposure is doubtless the ablest and most comprehensive in existence.”--Rev. Theodore Nelson, LL. D., late president of Kalamazoo Baptist College."Your work is a book we have long needed, and now should be in the hands of every Christian.”--Rev. J. Cairns, Colfax College, Wash.“No other book has fallen into our hands that is so well adapted to meet the sophistry and statements of Seventh-Day Adventists as this.”--Central Free Will Baptists, Farmington, West Virginia.“The most effective work that has yet been published.”--Missionary Visitor.“It would be a good plan to place a copy of it in every circulating library in the land.”--Methodist Michigan Christian Advocate, Detroit.“A strong and vigorous book on Seventh-Dayism. The best thing published upon this subject.”--Chicago Standard, Baptist.“There is no other book in the market that can possibly fill its place.”--California Christian Advocate, Methodist.“It is complete and unanswerable.”--Northern Christian Advocate.“A very valuable book that ex poses in a sharp and effective way the pretensions of modern Adventism."--Arkansas Baptist.“A stalwart book which gives no uncertain sound. This is the first book which we have seen that ably and justly exposes to the world the true inwardness of the Seventh-Day Advent delusion.”--Rev. G. J.Travis, Ph. D., Baptist.“It is by far the most complete and satisfactory treatment of the subject that I have seen.”--Rev. J. Sunderland, Baptist Cor. Sec. and Supt. of Missions, Minneapolis, Minnesota.“What books would you recommend to meet the advocates of S. D. Adventism? “Ans. “We would recommend you to read Seventh- Day Adventists Renounced, by Eld. Canright.”--The Christian Workers Magazine, Oct., 1912, published by the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.

    Quality assurance was conducted on each of these books in an attempt to remove books with imperfections introduced by the digitization process. Though we have made best efforts - the books may have occasional errors that do not impede the reading experience. We believe this work is culturally important and have elected to bring the book back into print as part of our continuing commitment to the preservation of printed works worldwide.

    

    By which method should it be administered? At what age? What if one changes denominations? Laurence H. Stookey sifts through the confusion and rhetoric to offer this practical, biblically sound guide to baptism. He examines the sacrament from historical, theological, and pastoral perspectives, and looks at how it has been altered through the ages. Dr. Stookey also suggests possible reforms, practices that need restoring, and proper occasions for the service.

    Surnamed "man of steel" Origen was an outstanding theologian of the early Greek-speaking Church, a man of the virtue and a genius with a prodigious capacity for work, an excellent teacher to whose lectures students flocked "and did not give him time to breathe for one bath of pupils after another kept frequenting from morn till night his lecture-room" (Eusebius, H.E. 6, 15).As an author Origen surpasses all the writers of the Early Church in literary output. A list complied by Eusebius, now unfortunately lost, credited Origen with some 2000 books. Even a far shorter list known to St. Jerome and mentioned by him in his Letter To Paula giving the number of 786 works is still impressive. Jerome then goes on to add some reflections. "Do you see the Greeks and Latins outstripped by the work of one man? Who could ever read all that he wrote? What reward did he receive for this exertion? He is condemned by bishop Demetrius; except for the bishops of Palestine, Arabia, Phoenicia and Achaia the world concurs in his condemnation. Rome itself convokes an assembly against this man not because of novelty of teachings, not because of heresy as now mad dogs pretend against him, but because they could not bear the fame of his eloquence and learning and were considered speechless when he spoke". (Corpus scriptorum ecclesiasticorum latinorum, vol.54, pp.253-59).Origen's chief aim was to be an interpreter of the Scriptures. To this end he composed scientific commentaries on various books of the Old and New Testaments, homilies, and short exegetical notes. The translations presented here belong to the second category. Though he did not reject the literal sense of Scripture Origen here is more intent upon the spiritual meanings of passages selected from Genesis and Exodus.
