Amazon reader review: An old book but one of the best overviews of the Scriptures out there.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Amazon reader review: This was the book that was used for our Doctrines I & II seminary classes and I believe it is still relevant today as when Myer Pearlman wrote it. The edition that I have is part of the "Pentecostal Classics" series and it is definitely a great introduction to the doctrines or teachings of the Bible. As for the comment that this book is in the "dark ages" and is no longer the doctrinal position of the Assemblies of God, I would venture to say that the Bible is no longer part of the doctrinal position of the Assemblies of God. They started out so good, as well as the Church of God. Holiness, full gospel, Spirit-filled, sanctified.... I would say that reading these passages would prompt the question to the negative "poster": Galatians 5:7; Revelation 2:4-5

The book, "Bible Doctrines from a Pentecostal Perspective" IS a brief introduction to the Assemblies of God Doctrines and Assemblies of God Statement of Fundamental Truths written in 1914 in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Some things that I saw were left out would be the contributions of Bishop Charles Harrison Mason and the Church Of God In Christ, in ordaining and licensing the founders of the Assemblies Of God. Nevertheless, that is still a good book as well.

Amazon reader review: 1938. This book is written for the individual interested in the Bible in terms of its chronological development, and endeavors to build a bridge over which available information concerning developing Biblical ideas may pass into the possession of a larger public. Contents: the idea of god; the idea of man; the idea of right and wrong, the idea of suffering; the idea of fellowship with God; the idea of immortality; chronology of Old Testament and New Testament writings.

 

 

Amazon reader review: I enjoyed Kevin J. Conner's easy-to-read and concise explanations of all aspects of all types of doctrines. The surprisingly slim text covers a huge range of topics. So much more than the title indicates. Has been invaluable to my learning and study. I have never seen another book that covers Christian Doctrine so thoroughly and scripturally. I wore out my 1st copy, working on my 2nd. I highly recommend to all.

Streams of Living Water is Richard J. Foster's roundup of six great traditions of Christian spiritual practice. His essays on spirituality--contemplative, holiness, charismatic, social justice, evangelical, and incarnational--are grounded in straightforward profiles of biblical and modern characters whom Foster considers exemplars of these traditions. (The prophet Amos and the Quaker abolitionist John Woolman, for example, are featured in the chapter on social justice.) Each chapter ends with a bit of advice about how readers can cultivate new aspects of spiritual life and keep these Christian traditions alive: "Take a bath instead of a shower. Waste time for God," Foster writes, in his chapter on the contemplative tradition. Foster doesn't really break new ground in Streams of Living Water--he's written about most of these spiritual disciplines elsewhere--but this book is a useful and engaging introduction to a fairly broad range of Christian spiritual practices.
