Bleeding of the Evangelical Church Wells, David F Banner of Truth Trust Paperback, 14 pages ISBN 0-85151-682-3 1995 £0.80 David Wells challenges evangelicalism with a disturbing analysis of its present condition. He believes that we have allowed ourselves to be shaped by the popular culture whose ethos is alien to God-consciousness, to 'other-worldliness', and to passion for biblical truth. In putting 'success' before theology we have produced a plague of nominal evangelicalism which, unless reversed, leaves us 'headed towards the oblivion on irrelevance before God'. Book of Common Prayer Thomas Cranmer Cambridge University Press Hardback, 630 pages ISBN 0-521-60095-2 1662 £8.50 The 1662 Book of Common Prayer is fundamental to the identity of the Church of England not simply because it was THE only liturgy of the Church for nearly 300 years and continues to be the normative liturgy of the Church today but also because it is part of the doctrinal basis of the Church. Moreover, most of the Provinces of the Anglican Communion also have the 1662 Book as part of their own identity.

It is the writer's belief that burial alone gives specific testimony to the Christian doctrine of the resurrection of the dead.

Ryle's account remains the best popular introduction to this great spiritual era.

He makes a straight appeal to the area where the Church of Rome believes its case is strongest, the facts of history.

This is not harsh polemic but a heart-felt concern for men and women to understand the facts. Churches Beware!

Evangelical Feminism and Biblical Truth Grudem, Wayne Apollos (IVP) Paperback, 856 pages ISBN 1-84474-068-4 2004 £15.00 An analysis of 118 disputed questions. Evangelical feminists, or egalitarians, consider men's and women's roles in the home and church to be interchangeable. In this definitive book, Wayne Grudem argues that this view is clearly contrary to Scripture. The author presents a positive view of men and women as equal in value before God, yet with complementary - not identical - God-given roles. He then seeks to answer more than a hundred arguments that deny a unique leadership role to men, in marriage or the Christian community. He warns of a connection between evangelical feminism and liberalism, and surveys the current state of evangelicalism regarding manhood and womanhood. His conclusion is that "evangelicals who believe the Bible will ultimately have to choose between evangelical feminism and biblical truth."

Gender Questions Benton, John Evangelical Press Paperback, 109 pages ISBN 0-85234-462-7 2000 £6.50 "The feminist tide of opinion, which is changing the landscape of society in deep and drastic ways, was a movement born out of genuine frustrations and legitimate grievances on the part of women. It cannot be denied that many women are treated unfairly, or that there are acute problems which should command sympathy. But is the solution, as many people suggest, to legislate away as far as possible all distinctions between male and female? Is the blurring of gender really progress? Will it actually bring about a better deal in society for women? Or is this all a fallacy? John Benton tackles these and related questions as he asks, ‘What does God’s Word have to say on this matter of male and female?’ He shows that, whatever our personal perspectives on the issues involved, God’s Word has a challenge for us and that in Jesus Christ there is a better way for both men and women than anything the secular world has to offer." Given for You Mathison, Keith Presbyterian and Reformed Paperback, 376 pages ISBN 0-87552-186-X 2002 £9.50 The primary purpose of this book is to introduce, explain, and defend a particular doctrine of the Lord’s Supper — the doctrine taught by John Calvin and most of the sixteenth-century Reformed confessions. This is not the doctrine that is taught in most Reformed churches today. During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, two distinct views of the Lord’s Supper gained some measure of confessional authority in the Reformed church. The first view traces its roots to John Calvin, while the second traces its roots to Ulrich Zwingli’s successor Heinrich Bullinger. Zwingli’s own strictly memorialist view was generally disowned by the Reformed churches and confessions of the sixteenth century. However, from the seventeenth century onward, it has gradually become the dominant view in the Reformed church. It is the thesis of this book that the gradual adoption of Zwingli’s doctrine has been a move away from the biblical and Reformed view of the Lord’s Supper. It is the thesis of this book that Calvin’s doctrine of the Lord’s Supper is the biblical doctrine, the basic doctrine of the sixteenth century Reformed churches, and the doctrine that should be reclaimed and proclaimed in the Reformed church today.

The Homilies were produced at the time of the Reformation in England in order to be read in churches where the clergy were ignorant or incapable of sound teaching. As such they are valuable today in that they expound essential aspects of the Christian faith both doctrinally and practically. However, they also have a further value as a commentary on Anglican doctrine clarifying the teaching of the 39 Articles and Prayer Book and therefore in showing the fallacy that lies behind some later attempts to re-interpret historic Anglicanism.

Ryle, J. C. Banner of Truth Trust Paperback 74 pages ISBN 0-85151-848-6 2003 (first published 1878) £4.50 To J.C. Ryle, the inspiraton of the Scriptures was 'the very keel and foundation of Christianity', the underpinning without which Christians had no warrant for doctrine or practice, 'no solid ground for present peace or hope, and no right to claim the attention of mankind'. He deliberately placed a paper on 'Inspiration' at the beginning of his book 'Old Paths', his 'Plain Statements on Some of the Weightier Matters of Christianity, and it is this, which is republished here. But is all Scripture inspired? Are the very words and expressions used by the writers from God, or does inspiration mean something less than this? Ryle was convinced that the very words are from God, and that only this veiw makes sense of what the Bible itself claims. Here he eloquently defends this position, answers objections, and applies the truth to the conscience of the reader.

Lord's Supper (The) Cranmer, Thomas Tentmaker Publications Hardback, 262 pages ISBN 1999 £12.00 A defence of the true and catholic doctrine of the sacrament of the body and blood of our saviour Christ with a confutation of sundry errors concerning the same grounded and stablished upon God's holy Word, and approved by the consent of the most ancient doctors of the Church. The charges that led to the deposition and martyrdom of Thomas Cranmer were chiefly based on his doctrine of the Lord's Supper expounded in this book. Cranmer showed from scripture, particularly St John's Gospel that the sacrament is essentially of a spiritual character and that its chief purpose is to satisfy spiritual hunger. His doctrine underlies both the articles of the Church of England and the liturgy of the Book of Common Prayer. In a day when this reformed position is under attack from anglo catholics and misunderstood or neglected by evangelicals Cranmer's defence for the true and catholic doctrine of the sacrament is vitally important.

Pratt tackles the questions that trouble us most: Why pray when God will do whatever he pleases anyway? Does God ever change his mind? Can we get anything we want by asking for it in Jesus' name?

Mentor Paperback, 191 pages ISBN 1-85792-994-2 2004 £10.00 Sold Out There is increasing tendency in Evangelical circles to regard disagreement in our allegedly post-modern world as inherently oppressive. Too many people sit on the fence and ignore, or are unaware of, the fact that Christianity is a historical religion.

With this collection of essays, Carl Trueman will provoke you into thinking for yourself.
