Yet, were it not for the courageous witness of Farel there may never have been a church at Geneva for Calvin to pastor. If Calvin is the model of the pastor-preacher, then Farel is that of the evangelist. He preached in a time when it was costly to be faithful to the Gospel and he saw a number of his companions cruelly tortured and put to death in the most agonising of ways. Often forsaken and sometimes betrayed, imprisoned and constantly opposed, Farel faced hatred and enmity, contempt and reproach, but remained steadfast. His witness at Neuchâtel, Geneva, Lausanne and Berne saw the gospel light established where previously darkness had gone unchallenged. Bevan draws upon the Life and Times of John Calvin by Merle D’Aubigné but refers to many other sources as well to verify the account, especially of Farel’s early life. The result is an exciting and deeply challenging book. This new edition has been completely re-typeset and includes the original engravings. jasv TM5 4/28/25 (1) WILLIAM FAREL: True Stories of God’s Servants by Frances Bevan  SGCB Price: $22.00 (list price $32.00)an exciting and deeply challenging book.

 | | CONFESSIONS OF A FUNDAMENTALIST AARON DUNLOP THIS BOOK WAS NEVER INTENDED TO BE A BOOK, BUT THE VERY PEOPLE THE AUTHOR WROTE ABOUT WANTED HIM TO PUBLISH IT. LISTEN TO THE MAN WHO WROTE THE FOREWORD, KEVIN BAUDER - "The following small book began as a series of essays about fundamentalism on Aaron's blog. These essays were my first introduction to Aaron. Aaron didn't set out to write a book. Friends from outside of the United States encouraged him to expand his original articles and to put them into print. He has been hesitant, and at one point even offered to bury the project if I advised him to. That I refuse to do. Why? Among other reasons, because Aaron is doing fundamentalism a service by publishing this book. We will be stronger with it than without it." The author sums up the contents of the book in his Introduction - "The book is divided into nine chapters and an appendix. Chapter one deals with the history of the movement and its evident purpose and success in preserving the truth. Chapter two is an appreciation of the 'conviction and courage' that was evident among fundamentalists.á In chapters three to seven I wrestle with some of the problems of the movement, including, shallow evangelism and a tendency to legalistic holiness (three); the unrelenting and harsh militancy that developed into infighting and contentions and factions within the movement (four); the indiscriminate separatism (five); and the failure (or inability) to deal with these issues (six). In chapter seven, I address the 'silent moderate majority' who have sat back and tolerated (perhaps promoted) the excesses. Chapter eight is an analysis of the current situation developing between fundamentalism and conservative evangelicalism - the new conservative evangelical identify. In the last chapter, chapter nine, I present five suggestions for a way forward. In the appendix I have tried to bring some balance in our understanding of the powerful personalities of fundamentalism. Three men, Ian Paisley (Northern Ireland), Carl McIntire (America) and T. T. Shields (Canada), represent the three countries where the fundamentalist movement existed. They were polarising individuals, either hated or loved. How can we understand these very complex men of God? Tm7 n12 tm9 tm6 tm5 BRAND NEW TITLE FROM TENTMAKER PUBLICATIONS SGCB Price: $8.75 (list price $12.00) |
