A Wealth of Scriptural Symbolism and Truth in the Number 3! The three-in-one nature of the Trinity… The three features of the priesthood… The three harvest fruits… The three glorious appearances… The three gifts of the Magi… The three tenses of salvation… The three crosses… The three phases of the risen Christ… The three witnesses in Revelation… And many more… Bible teacher Dr. Herbert Lockyer’s exhaustive study of the number three throughout Scripture is a great resource for pastors, Bible study and youth group leaders, Sunday school instructors, and any believer who desires to delve deeper into Scripture. You’ll be amazed at the spiritual truths that can be unpacked by the biblical meanings of a simple number.

Frank C. Brown organized the North Carolina Folklore Society in 1913. Both Dr. Brown and the Society collected stores from individuals—Brown through his classes at Duke University and through his summer expeditions in the North Carolina mountains, and the Society by interviewing its members—and also levied on the previous collections made by friends and members of the Society. The result was a large mass of texts and notes assembled over a period of nearly forty years and covering every aspect of local tradition.

Brinsley's treatment of his principle text is one of the best Puritan treatments and biblical expositions of God's election of men in Christ; "All that the Father giveth me shall come unto me; and him that cometh unto me, I will in no wise cast out,” (John 6:37). He covers three main propositions. 1. There are some among the sons of men given by God the Father to his Son Christ. 2. All those who are so given will come to him. 3. Those who so come he will in no wise cast out. This is a clear, concise and expository work that explains the nuances of election as well as the practical application of the doctrines which apply both to Christians in election, and those God passes by in reprobation.
