Works by Sir Robert Anderson
Misunderstood Texts of Scripture - 6/14/2008
Forgotten Truths - 7/13/08
The Bible or the Church - 7/23/08 - THE subject of these pages is one of the highest interest, and it is only those who are in some way behind the scenes who can judge aright of its peculiar urgency at the present moment. "The greatest achievement in English history" is a distinguished historian’s estimate of the Reformation ; but in this flippant and shallow age we seem to be letting slip what the Reformers won for us. For a national lapse toward superstition upon the one hand, and rationalism upon the other, is one of the marked characteristics of the day.

The Gospel Preacher  - 9/5/2008 by
(Ben Franklin (not one of the founding fathers). "It may be safely affirmed, that no preacher among the Disciples is more generally known than the subject of this sketch. He has been so long connected with the Press, and has traveled so extensively, that wherever, among Christians, the Bible alone is the rule of faith and practice, there the name of BENJAMIN FRANKLIN is as familiar as household gods."

THERE are few subjects or exercises more deeply important to professing Christians, than that which forms the principal topic in the following admirable Treatise--the work of Self-examination.

THE FOLLOWING FOUR BOOKS ARE DIFFERENT:

1. Bonnell's Dictionary of 3 Word Phrases (BD3WP.ssbook) - 5/19/2010 - is a dictionary of 3 word search phrases indexed on each word in the phrase.  These phrases were made by going through each word in the Bible (789,000+) and picking up the next two words to make a phrase. Then searching the Bible for that phrase and counting the occurrences, saving the phrase and its count in a list.  This generated approximately 386000 unique phrases. Only those occurring more than once are used.  This resulted in about 86,000 phrases categorized in a dictionary format.  Many of these phrases make interesting searches and give surprising results.  Click a phrase to perform the search.  For each keyword the verse reference of the first and last occurrence in the Bible is also given along with various search links.  Here's a snippet for Aaron with links shown underlined.

Ten Sermons on the Second Advent - 7/8/08

Works of Philip Mauro (Anti Dispensational)
Which Version
by Philip Mauro 6/8/08.  Compares the RV with the KJV.  This is relevant to all modern versions since they come from the same family of manuscripts as the RV.  Also Philip Mauro has an interesting testimony at the end of the book.
Hope of Israel - Philip Mauro - 6/13/2008 - Written in 1922.  He is against Dispensational Theology and did not expect Israel to be back in the land.  He is clearly a Bible believer, but has a different interpretation. I wonder what he would say today?

The Wonders of Bible Chronology - 7/13/08.  is a continuous line of dated episodes, which begins with the creation of Adam and reaches across forty centuries of time even to the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the coming of the Holy Spirit. Such being the case, it is a matter of deep interest to all readers, and of surpassing value to all students of the Holy Scriptures, to have at hand, in tabulated form, the chronological data constituting that unique line. Based on work by Martin Anstey, The Romance of Bible Chronology. (See below)

Robertson's Harmony of the Gospel

Pink, The Divine Inspiration of the Bible

Inspiration and Interpretation: Seven Sermons - Burgon, John William (aka Dean Burgon)

Satan by Lewis Sperry Chafer 11/21/10 - "This attempt to outline the Scripture teaching on this character will be undertaken under certain general conditions:

First-- The authority of the Scriptures of both the Old and the New Testaments will be accepted without question.

Second-- Evidence will be drawn from the Word of God alone, since no final light can be found on this subject other than it has pleased God to reveal in the Bible.

Third-- There will be no discussion as to the actual existence of Satan; this being both assumed and taught from Genesis to Revelation.

These pages are prepared especially for believers; knowing that this body of truth will be wholly unnoticed or rejected by the Satan-blinded world  (2co 4.4)."

The Bible, Book by Book, The Bible Period by Period

Orthodox Daily Prayers (converted from CCEL)
by Johann Habermann (1516-1590)

    This little manual of prayers herewith offered to English speaking Christians in their own language, has long been one of the treasures of the German people. ... [I]t was originally written by one of God’s noblemen, by one who “lived and moved and had his being” in the things of the Kingdom of God. Dr. John Habermann (known also as Avenarius, Latinized form of Habermann) died 1590 as superintendent at Zeitz, was a famous preacher and a distinguished scholar of his day. He was noted for his profound knowledge of oriental languages especially of the Hebrew. Still it is not this but the fact of his little prayer book that has endeared him to his fellow Christians. And this manual of prayers is the mature product of an inner life rich in the grace of God.

PRESERVE THIS BIBLE HELP IT WILL BE VALUABLE TO YOU AS LONG AS YOU HAVE A BIBLE

Chrysostom said: "All our troubles come from this one thing--not knowing the Scriptures!"

You may learn many facts about the Bible, but you will never know the Bible itself, until you begin where God began--at Genesis, master a book at a time and finish where God Finished--at Revelation!

Companion to the Bible - Elijah Porter Barrows (1807-1888) was born at Mansfield, Connecticut, and received his A.B. (1826) and A.M. (1892) degrees from Yale University. His D.D. was awarded by Dartmouth College in 1858. Barrows was ordained to the gospel ministry in 1832 and for four years was an evangelist in churches in Connecticut. In 1835 he declined a position at Oberlin College. He also served as pastor of the Day Street Presbyterian Free Church in New York City. From 1837-52 he was Professor of Sacred Literature at Western Reserve College, Hudson, Ohio, and from 1853-65 was Professor of Hebrew language and Literature in Andover Theological Seminary. During 1869-70 he taught at Union Theological Seminary, New York City and in 1871 came to Oberlin as Acting (and then) Professor of Hebrew and Old Testament Literature which he taught until 1880. Barrows died September 14, 1888 and his will left to Oberlin College some 70 volumes of his private library, all in other languages than English. Barrows two main works were Companion to the Bible [c. 1867] and Sacred Geography and Antiquities [c. 187?]. His contributions to the Bibliotheca Sacra spanned 31 years including a series of 12 articles on Revelation and Inspiration (1867).
