The Ohio Independent Baptist, April 1971

A EW TESTAMENT COMMEN- TARY (Editors G. C. D. Howley, F . F. Bruce and H. L. Ellison– Zondervan Publishing House, Grand Rapids, Michigan, 1969· 666 pages, $7.95). The editors of this work have com– piled materials from twenty-five con– tributing authors who present a verse– by-verse analysis of the New Testa– ment 1n one volume. The conservative views expressed point up the authority of God's Word .. Because of the valu– able source material included , I am forced to agree with a statement on the jacket that "this book is more than . ' ' · Just a commentary. GE ESIS ( by Donald Grey Barn– h o u s e - Zondervan Publishing House Grand Rapids, Michigan, 1970; 208 pages, $4.95). A fresh approach to the Book of Genesis in that the exposition is pre– sented in a manner which causes the "Book of Beginnings" to be viewed a a seed-bed of devotional sublimities. Written as a devotional guide, it be– comes a unique commentary as well . The reader will find verse-by-verse inspiration that will cause him to '·re– joice in the Lord." Excellent for pri– vate or family devotions. REENTRY (by John Wesley White, P h . D . - Zondervan Publishing House, Grand Rapids, Michigan, 1970; 164 pages, $3.95) . We who know Christ as Savior realize that His "Re-Entry" (second– coming) is an imminent reality. With keen insight, Dr. White takes us to the headlines of the daily newspaper and the current events of the world in order to present the truths of Scripture in relation to our Coming Savior. Here is good reference material for sermon illustration or excellent in– formation for general reading.

Thirteen individuals make up the authorship of this paperback which seems to serve as a sounding-board fo r the various writers to express their disenchantment with churches, preach– ers, teachers, traditions, ordinances, etc. as seen by them early in life. Though the testimonies DO offer food for thought in many instances, I ques– tion the advisability of encouraging random reading of the book by just anyone. This is due to the fact that I find statements which lead one to believe that the writers have areas of participation in their lives in which Biblical separation, both personal and ecclesiastical, are di regarded. This, of course, could be greatly misleading and detrimental.
