Posted in Book Reviews
The Pre-Wrath Rapture of the Church. By Marvin Rosenthal. Nashville: Thomas Nelson Publishers, 1990. 319 pp. Cloth, $10.95.

We Believe In: The Lord’s Supper

March 1, 1991 by Art Farstad in Journal Articles
I. Introduction Several years ago I was invited to a Saturday dinner that ended in a doctrinal debate. I have never liked religious arguments or debates, and I feared that the dramatis personae of this dinner—four members of our church and two active ultra-dispensationalist gentlemen1—could only lead to our locking horns. The hostess was the

March 1, 1991 by GES Webmaster in Journal Articles
Robert N. Wilkin* I. Introduction This is the final installment in a series on repentance and salvation. It has been a great challenge for me to write these six articles.1 The doctrine of repentance is a difficult subject. It is not that it is so hard to show what repentance is not; that is fairly

March 1, 1991 by GES Webmaster in Journal Articles
Lanny Thomas Tanton* Prologue To best introduce the study of Acts 22:16, let me relate the following story. When I was in the Churches of Christ, I was told—and through experience was tempted to believe—that “evangelical Christians” would deny the necessity of baptism for salvation, even when they could not explain those passages which teach

A Voice from the Past: The Grace of Giving

March 1, 1991 by GES Webmaster in Journal Articles
This article was compiled from the author’s sermon notes after his death. It was originally published in The Evangelical Christian, a Canadian journal. None of Dr. Thomas’s own words have been changed, but the subdivisions with titles have been added for today’s visually-oriented readership. Biblical quotations have been updated from the King James to the

Grace in the Arts: Shakespeare, the Bible, and Grace

March 1, 1991 by Art Farstad in Journal Articles
I. Introduction In college I had a dear, elderly literature teacher who tried to “save” as many of her favorite writers of English and American literature as she could. Since they had nearly all “gone on before,” it was only a salvation in her own mind (and in as many students’ minds as she convinced).

March 1, 1991 by Zane Hodges in Journal Articles
I. Introduction Among the very last recorded words of our Lord Jesus Christ are these: “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work” (Rev 22:12; italics added).1 This is a clear and definitive statement on the subject of rewards by the Lord
