This book by Dr Henry T. Hudson is a collection of studies that first appeared in serial form in his monthly Bible study mailings. They are selections from his written dialogue with various pastors over the last ten years. Apart from the first four, which are inserted by way of emphasizing the authority of Holy Scripture, the rest focus, as the subtitle declares, on reviewing and refining dispensational thinking in areas such as: Biblical prophecy, the Kingdom of God, and the nature of the mystery that was revealed to the Apostle Paul. While accepting and advocating the pragmatic value of the dispensational approach to the Bible, Dr. Hudson is never-the-less of the opinion that some of the deductive reasoning associated with this approach has allowed questionable premises to dictate faulty interpretations. In consequence, there are chinks in the armor.

A collection of poems by American and English poets on such topics as trees, spring, animals, the sea, and others.

In his first volume of poetry, C. G. Schalk contemplates nature, meditates on faith, and observes Western culture. Wrestling with a sinful nature, he finds resolve in the grace and salvation offered in Christ. God is celebrated as Creator, and emotions evoked by the changing of the seasons are explored. The tension of living in a world that is both beautiful and affected by the fall of man is pondered. For readers seeking simple verse to enjoy with coffee, this book is sure to invite reflection.

With this new lectionary commentary series, Westminster John Knox offers the most extensive resource for preaching on the market today. When complete, the twelve volumes of the series will cover all the Sundays in the three-year lectionary cycle, along with movable occasions, such as Christmas Day, Epiphany, Holy Week, and All Saints' Day. For each lectionary text, preachers will find four brief essays--one each on the theological, pastoral, exegetical, and homiletical challenges of the text. This gives preachers sixteen different approaches to the proclaimation of the Word on any given occasion. The editors and contributors to this series are world-class scholars, pastors, and writers representing a variety of denominations and traditions. And while the twelve volumes of the series will follow the pattern of the Revised Common Lectionary, each volume will contain an index of biblical passages so that nonlectionary preachers, as well as teachers and students, may make use of its contents.
