Bible, The: James Moffatt Translation 11 reviews
James Moffatt
Kregel Classics, 2004
Under-rated and under-appreciated Bible translation
This is a great bible translation and a solid alternative to the King James Bible since it uses similar Greek manuscripts in the New Testament. However, don't confuse this with a King James bible. Old Elizabethan English this is not! This one is written in plain English and is closer to modern English.
Apparently, this once was a very popular bible translation in the 1930's, 1940' and ...

Last Words of Saints and Sinners7 reviews
Herbert Lockyer
Kregel Classics, 2000
true thoughts
Herbert Lockyer's painstaking collection of famous death bed professions and confessions are both inspiring and disturbing. Apparently,when death is approching both saints and sinners alike will reveal their true thoughts and beliefs. Hats off to yet another Herbert Lockyer best seller. (If not it should be). Read this book if you are a Christian and see what self examination will bring. If ...

Absolutely necessary commentary for Romans
Really good and heartfelt exposition on Romans. Can be going due to the old translation, but worth the effort.

Sir Robert Anderson
Kregel Classics, 1957
Still a great book these 100 years later!
Sir Robert Anderson (1841-1918) was a trained solicitor and intelligence officer who became Assistant Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police and Chief of the Criminal Investigation Department (Scotland Yard) during the Ripper Scare. He was widely credited with bringing London's notorious crime under control. However, Sir Robert was also a committed Christian.
This fascinating book is the ...

St. Paul the Traveler and Roman Citizen3 reviews
William M. Ramsay, Mark Wilson
Kregel Classics, 2001
Not to be Missed
I have been waiting a long time for this modern reissue of Ramsay's classic work. Wilson's edition does not disappoint. The book is beautifully printed (the old editions were so dreary) and now includes over a hundred color photos of relevant sites and images. These images are carefully placed near the texts that they illustrate. Also maps, charts and colorful sidebars have been added. ...

Names of God, The: Discovering God as He Desires to be Known2 reviews
Andrew Jukes
Kregel Classics, 1967
Foundational Bible Insight
If you teach the bible and want to know more of what it says about God in the original languages, this book will prove invaluable. I taught a 10 plus week series on the names of God using this book as the primary source and the congregation was enraptured. Jukes delves into the original Hebrew and Greek to reveal things about God that are missed in the English. After reading this book, you'll ...

Commentary on Galatians (Luther Classic Commentaries)9 reviews
Martin Luther
Kregel Classics, 2006
By Faith Alone (Sola Fide)
This is, in my estimation, the greatest non-canonical book ever written. Luther expounds Paul's epistle to the Galatians with an insight, power and depth of emotion which is sorely lacking in modern commentaries. He is not concerned with the various potential interpretations of "problematic passages" that fill the pages of other commentaries. From the very first page Luther cuts to the heart ...

Rotherham's Emphasized Bible11 reviews
Joseph Bryant Rotherham
Kregel Classics, 1959
Rotherham
Great and accurate translation of the Bible. The two major flaws that I found were his mis-translation of God hardening Pharoah's heart, and using an ancient, extremely shortened version of Westcott-Hort.

Hebrews: Verse-by-Verse: A Classic Evangelical Commentary1 review
William R. Newell
Kregel Classics, 2005
Hebrews comes alive
Newell is always good and whilst this commentary is not quite up to the Romans standard it is pretty close. Newell is conservative and dispensational. He handles each verse at a devotional / semi-technical level in the main body of the text. This would be enough to recommend the book. But he also drops down into some of the best technical footnotes you will come across. My favourite part though ...

Salvation2 reviews
Lewis Sperry Chafer
Kregel Classics, 2004
Has to be one of the best books on salvation ever written!!!
Dr. Lewis Sperry Chafer was used by the Lord as a champion of grace. And I have no doubt that this continues even today....long after Dr. Chafer has gone to be with the Lord. I recommend this book both to unbeliever and believer alike. I have never read a more comprehensive book explaining the marvelous salvation that God offers the whole world through simple faith in Jesus Christ!!!

How to Enjoy the Bible: 12 Basic Principles for Understanding God's Word8 reviews
E. W. Bullinger
Kregel Classics, 2004
Bullinger is remarkable
Dr. Bullinger was one of those rare Christians that sought to find the truth at any cost. He was not content with the "status quo" of traditionally orthodoxy. His books remain monumental to seekers of truth. His books dig further than any modern writer has done on the subjects he undertook. His Greek Concordance and dictionary are still widely used today. His awesome book on "Figures of Speech" ...

Testimony of the Evangelists, The: The Gospels Examined by the Rules of Evidence 11 reviews
Simon Greenleaf
Kregel Classics, 1995
A Testimony Of The Testimony
This is an excellent book for all types of people, Christians and non-Christian alike. It is especially good for those who believe they are the intellectual type. I work in the legal field, and so I found this book to be a clincher for even the most hard hearted skeptics. If they would just set their bias aside and truly absorb what this author is saying, there won't be any doubt that the ...

True Evangelism: Winning Souls Through Prayer 7 reviews
Lewis Sperry Chafer
Kregel Classics, 2002
True Evangelism--Not Human Manipulation
Lewis Sperry Chafer was a theologian, author, andthe founder of Dallas Theological Seminary. Several other books I am reading now are rather overweight considering their contents but this volume is slim, only 100 small pages, and filled with ideas to savor.
The previous reviewer is correct in that when this book was originally published it received many scathing reviews from Christians. Why? ...

Study of the Types6 reviews
Ada R. Habershon
Kregel Classics, 1974
The Greatest book on Typology
About 4 years ago I was headed off to Russia on a missions trip when a friend of mine gave me this book to read while I was there. As soon as I picked it up it lite a fire in me for the study of the Types. Ms. Habershon is very broad in her approach of the types. She possesses not only depth, but also a masterful story telling quality. I cannot tell you how this book has broadened my ...

Thorough outlook on modern life
Realistically, this book thoroughly delves into the "deeper things" concerning scripture. Let he who "has an ear to hear" understand, and the less intellectual stand aside.

The Supernatural Design and Spiritual Significance of Numbers in the Bible
"As for God His WAY is perfect" (PS.xviii.30). "The Law of the Lord is perfect" (Ps. xix. 7). "They are both perfect in power, perfect in holiness and righteousness, perfect in design, perfect in execution, perfect in thier object and end, and, may we not say, perfect in number."
E.W. Bullinger
It makes since does it not? If the words that God uses are perfect then why not the numbers? ...
