Alfred Edersheim was a

Christianity. A veteran minister
and missionary to the Jews of
Romania, Edersheim left an
enduring and priceless legacy in
his books on Bible history.
In this enduring classic,
Edersheim explores the broad
sweep of Old Testament history.
He brings to this work his
immense learning and familiarity
with Judaism, a deep love for
Scripture, and a desire for
every Christian to more fully
understand God's work of
redemption. His unique ability
to paint word pictures gives the
reader a far richer understand
of the Old Testament, and how it
relates to the New.
This new edition of Edersheim's
classic features the following
improvements:
• Entirely reset in a modern
and easy-to-read typeface
• Complete and unabridged in
one volume
• Arabic numbers replace
Roman numerals

"I have primarily had in view
those who teach and those who
learn, whether in the school or
in the family...to show
them what the Bible really
teaches." —Alfred Edersheim
Christianity and Neo-Liberalism

Christianity and Neo-Liberalism documents the descent of a
conservative Presbyterian denomination into
the grip of false teaching during the last thirty years.
But as the author demonstrates, this
is not an isolated case: No present-day
church, denominational or independent, is immune to such dangers.
Drawing striking parallels to past
events in church history,
Christianity and Neo-Liberalism describes how false
teachers make their inroads, and what the
Bible says Christians must do to recognize and confront them.
Christianity and Neo-Liberalism concludes with a
strong call for submission to the unique authority of
the Bible in the church. This book will be of interest
not only to conservative Presbyterians, but to people in
all evangelical churches who seek to uphold Biblical
truth.
The Great Turning Point
Terry Mortenson

ISBN: 0890514089
300 pages, paperback,
8-3/8" x 10-7/8"
Many people in the evangelical church today mistakenly
believe that "young-earth" creationism is a fairly
recent development, popularized by fundamentalist
Christians in the mid-20th century. Dr. Terry Mortenson
has done fascinating original research on this subject,
and documents that several leading pre-Darwin scholars
and scientists, known as "scriptural geologists," did
not believe in long ages for the earth.
Mortenson sheds light on these questions, among others:
• Before Darwin, what did the Church believe about the
age of the earth? • Why did it believe this way? • What
was the controversy that rocked the Church from its
Biblical position in the 19th-century? • Who were the
"scriptural geologists"? • What anti-Scriptural
influences did the Church contend with even before
Darwin’s book? • What is the stance of the evangelical
church today? • How is the church's attitude toward the
early chapters of Genesis influencing society today?

In the second
volume, Ian Murray leads

Lloyd-Jones' years of ministry
at Westminster Congregational
Church in London;
his ministry in continental
Europe, Africa, and North
America; his role in founding

genuine Biblical unity among

role in restoring expository
preaching to its rightful place
in the evangelical church after
decades of neglect; his
continual emphasis on the
necessity of the authority of
Scripture and the work of the
Holy Spirit in building the
church; and how he helped
recover the theology of the
Reformation for a new
generation.
