STILL WORTHY


Here are old books that still have great value to the Bible student and Pastor, but often overlooked. I have found them worthwhile and worth having. Old does not mean useless.

  • Scroggle, William Graham, GUIDE TO THE GOSPELS, London Pickering & Inglis, 1962. When ever I study the Gospels, this is one of the first books I use. I find details I do not fine in most works. No modern writer has produced a single work with as much detail.
  • Hay, D.A., PAUL AND HIS EPISTLES, Baker, 1969. Introduced to it in college, I have found it a helpful analysis of the life of Paul and his epistles. Originally published in 1915. Good homiletical material.
  •  Smeaton,George, THE APOSTLES DOCTRINE OF THE ATONEMENT, Zondervan, 1957 (originally published in 1870) and THE DOCTINE OF THE ATONEMENT AS TAUGHT BY JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF, Zondervan, n.d.  Any study of the atonement should not overlook these values. Still one of the best works on the subject.
  • Paxson, Ruth, THE WEALTH, WALK AND WARFARE OF THE CHRISTIAN, Revell, 1939. A great work on Ephesians. A goldmine. Devotional.
These five works should be on your shelf. Not sure all are still in print. May have to check second hand bookstores.
