Kent Messages of the Bible
Kent, Charles Foster – The Messages of the Bible (11 vols)
Part paraphrase, part commentary, part survey, and part critical notes, this massive work was likely the inspiration for the modern day “Message Bible” by Eugene H. Peterson. The difference is that this resource is not in “Bible verse format”. This resource is grouped according to natural classification and order of appearance. See the complete list of contents at the end of this description.
Brown The Devil's Mission of Amusement 7 page article from 1889. Hollywood in the church and her ministries. Brown was a student of C.H Spurgeon.
Excerpts:
Different days demand their own special testimony. The watchman who would be faithful to his Lord and to the city of his God needs to carefully note the signs of the times and to emphasize his witness accordingly. Concerning the testimony needed now, there can be little if any doubt. An evil is in the professed camp of the Lord, that is so gross, so brazen in its impudence, that the most shortsighted of spiritual men can hardly fail to notice it.... Amusement for the people is the leading article advertised by each... until the hideous fact has been proved up to the hilt, that "amusement" is ousting "the preaching of the Gospel" as the great attraction... The Concert is fast becoming as much a recognized part of church life as the Prayer Meeting; and it is already, in most places, far better attended.
"Providing recreation for the people" will soon be looked upon as a necessary part of Christian work, and as binding upon the Church of God, as though it were a Divine command, unless some strong voices are raised which will make themselves heard.
Read the 7-page article: Brown, The Devil's Mission of Amusement.
In addition to examining the 66 book Protestant cannon, this book also examines the Apocrypha and other ancient writings (i.e. see the review of all Apocalyptic literature in comparison with Revelation).
Although not a substitute for the Bible (see the Introduction, subsection, “How To Make Use Of A Paraphrase”), this resource offers a scholarly, reverent, appreciative, and enthusiastic reading of the Bible.
