R.W. Stott: The Authority of the Bible (Downers Grove:
InterVarsity Press, 1974. ISBN 0-87784-147-0). In this tiny booklet
of 32 very small pages, Stott gives a clear explanation of why Christians
still can and should trust and obey the Bible as God's Word, as
they have from the beginning of the Church.

Thomas
E. Schmidt: Straight & Narrow? Compassion and Clarity in the
Homosexual Debate (Downers Grove: InterVarsity Press, 1995. ISBN
0830818588). Schmidt's exceedingly compasionate book is particularly
valuable for those who need to familiarize themselves quickly with
the revisionist interpretations of Scripture put forward by “Gay
Christians” and their supporters. It provides truly fair accounts
of the revisionist arguments and most useful bibliographic references
to the works of the revisionists, as well as critiques of their arguments.
240 pages.

A paper commissioned
for the Primates of the Anglican Communion by The Most Rev. Drexel
Gomez, The Most Rev. Peter Akinola, and The Most Rev. Gregory Venables.
This paper is offered
to address the need for a practical statement of the Anglican Communion’s
self-identity and mission, as warranted by its own official documents
and public declarations. In some ways, it serves as a primer for
the unique character of Anglicanism as a part of God’s plan
for the Christian Church.
|
The paper is written
in response to the grave threat to the Anglican Communion’s
continued existence and flourishing posed by the Episcopal Church,
U.S.A.’s recent actions in contradiction of the Gospel. Nonetheless,
our wish is that the hopefulness of Anglicanism’s vocation
in service of Christ’s mission is here set forth.
