Bible Note: Dear Hiram, If your first attempt was Prayer of Jabez, then I could understand your reluctance to make another trip to the book store. I have a reference you might like Ex 12:12 ...and I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt. I am the LORD. Here are some suggested titles for your shelf. For church history I would HIGHLY recommend F.F. Bruce's book "The Spreading of the Flame." It's not a complete history (one could never be written--accept in Heaven), but Bruce was such a great, humble and kind-hearted scholar, I doubt there are many who could tell history better than he. He really was one of England's greatest. His book "Israel and the Nations" is great too. His style may seem a little dry, but that's only because he wasn't trying to FORCE an opinion. Hold off on his book "New Testament History", not because there's anything wrong with it, but because that is one of the most difficult time periods in all history to digest (it was not only the fullness of time, but the fullest of times). Some writers of history use their positions to defend their particular denomination, or "brand" of belief. Bruce does not do this. I would also recommend you get a Greek interlinear Bible. It's an easy way to start discovering the value of knowing even a little bit of the original language of the New Testament. How's that for a basic library? mrk |
