The Mark of the Christian


Francis A. Schaeffer - 1970
    Christians have not always presented an inviting picture to the world. Too often we have failed to show the beauty of authentic Christian love. And the world has disregarded Christianity as a result. In our era of global violence and sectarian intolerance, the church needs to hear anew the challenge of this book. Decades ago Francis Schaeffer exhorted, Love--and the unity it attests to--is the mark Christ gave Christians to wear before the world. Only with this mark may the world know that Christians are indeed Christians and that Jesus was sent by the Father. More than ever, the church needs to respond compassionately to a needy world. More than ever, we need to show the Mark.

Today's Gospel


Walter J. Chantry - 1970
    This powerfully written book has a message which goes to the heart of the contemporary problem in a way that conferences and commissions on evangelism have failed to do. Its expository approach is particularly valuable.

Toward a Theology of Pipesmoking


Arthur D. Yunker - 1970
    These words come to you not as retransmitted or retyped. Instead, they come to you just as they originally were written, then photocopied, PDF'd, and put together in a published work. For some of you, this work will be a step back to when you were in seminary during those dark days of the '70s to find a light heart and quick wit of a student in the midst of a cloud of confusion. For some of you, like me, it will give you a glimpse into a time past and a pastime nearly gone. These words come from Arthur the seminarian when he was but a freshly lit seminarian with the robust and glittering bowl that will draw you into the tastefulness that is, "Toward A Theology of Pipesmoking."

Sermon on the Mount


Clarence Jordan - 1970
    Jordan points out many of the major features of the kingdom of God on earth that Jesus was proposing.

The Faith of the Early Fathers, Vol. 3


William A. Jurgens - 1970
    Augustine to the end of the patristic age. Volume 3 ends with St. John of Damascene (d. 749).Volume 1: the Pre-Nicene and Nicene erasVolume 2: the Post-Nicene era through St. Jerome;Volume 3: St. Augustine to the end of the patristic period. The passages selected are keyed to the numerical order established in M. J. Rouët de Journel's Enchiridion Patristicum. In no sense, however, are these volumes a translation of that standard work. The author has made his own investigation of theological textbooks in common use and has selected the patristic passages most frequently cited, including much that is in Rouët and much that is not. All passages have been freshly and accurately translated from the best critical editions. Preceding each selection is a brief introduction treating the authorship, date and place of composition, and the purpose of the work from which the selection is taken. The author's scholarship and sprightly sense of humor are evident in these prefatory remarks. Of immense value to the reader is the Doctrinal Index provided for each volume. Here one can find the texts pertinent to particular doctrinal points, a method especially useful to homilists. In addition, each volume is enhanced by comprehensive Scriptural and General Indices.

The Suicide of Christian Theology


John Warwick Montgomery - 1970
    Montgomery's incisive observations on Barth, Bultmann, Tillich, de Chardin, Pike, and others, may rankle some readers on occasion. But, there can never be any question about the mental acumen he brings to bear upon his subject, or the skill with which he pens his views. Montgomery is so obviously at home in the area of the theological, and so conversant with the convictions of his fellow theologians, that he certainly must be reckoned with.Not content with only analyzing the suicide of theology, Dr. Montgomery also gives a proposal for its resurrection. Here is an invitation to come to grips with the zestful, well-informed mind of a contemporary theologian.

The Law of Faith


Norman P. Grubb - 1970
    He explores the transition from natural faith to spiritual faith, from elementary to advanced faith, from the school of faith to the life of faith, and takes the believer through the strategy of faith to speaking the word of faith as an intercessor. Norman Grubb's life demonstrated that he knew "how to walk the broad road of faith, how to save and maintain that touch with God, that living fruitful union with Him which in infinite grace and condescension He has given us as our inheritance in Christ." In The Law of Faith, Norman felt that he was "passing on to others the most precious secrets that God has taught [him]."
