£25.00+£3.75p&pDissertation on the Death of Christ

by Bishop John Davenant

Davenant was an English delegate to the Synod of Dort and, in his later years, Bishop of Salisbury. In this highly regarded work he examines the issue of the extent of Christ's atonement and answer's the question "for whom did Christ die?" Davenant expounds the relevant Scriptures and interacts with earlier authors.

£22.50+£3.37p&pThe Atonement

by R.W. Dale

This book comprises Dale's Congregational Library Lectures and are considered by many to be the best book he wrote and one of the best on the subject of the atonement. It helped Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones to a better understanding of the work of Christ and is highly rated by John Stott and Alec Motyer. He gives a very helpful listing of all the Scriptures that relate to the subject of the Atonement. The way Dale tackles the subject, and his interaction with unbeliving scholars who objected to the idea of a substitutionary atonement, you are left with the feeling, 'This is what the Bible teaches'.

by David Ephraim Hart-Davies

Hart-Davies was a Church of England rector of St Thomas's Church, Edinburgh. He wrote this book in order to explain what the book of Jonah is about. Why did Jonah flee to Tarsish? Was did he moan at the end of the book? This is one of those books that, when you finish reading it, you think to yourself "That was so obvious - why did I not see that before."

£7.95+£1.20p&pThe Rise and Fall of British Republican Clubs 1871-1874

by Christopher J Rumsey

This is a political and not a religious work. It provides the fullest account to date of the 100 or so working-class republican clubs that were established in Britain between 1871 and 1874. Too often the historiographical treatment of these clubs has been generic ('More than 50 republican clubs were formed in large towns and cities…'). Instead, by a detailed investigation of primary sources, this study identifies the individual clubs and traces when and where they were formed. It also provides a multi-dimensional profile of the club movement and explains the reasons for its failure. All this is interwoven with the contemporary political scene, involving such key players as Dilke and Gladstone, but equally important for this purpose, Bradlaugh and Odger. What emerges is a fascinating account of a unique period in modern British history — the only time that the monarchy has been subject to any noteworthy challenge from republicanism. As such, it provides an interesting historical background to current debates about the future of the Crown.

Christopher Rumsey B.A. (Hons), M.Sc., M.A., F.R.S.A. is currently researching the political career of P.A. Taylor (1819-91), M.P. for Leicester.

£3.95The Argument of the Book of Job Unfolded

by WH Green

This book, which we were going to publish, was taken over by the Banner of Truth and has been published under the title Conflict and Triumph. This is a slightly updated version of Green's classic treatise on the book of Job. We took the opportunity to remove the archaic language to make it more understandle to a modern audience. It is not a detailed commentary but gives an insight into the main themes of Job and provides a doorway into the meaning of Job that is often missed by a superficial reading of the book. "This is a wonderful book" —Hywel R Jones, former Editorial Director, The Banner of Truth Trust.

£5.00+£0.75p&pThe Anxious Inquirer

by John Angell James

This book was the means of salvation for a great many Victorians. Its language makes it unsuitable to give to unbelievers as an evangelistic tool today, but is ideal as a manual for Christians who want to know how best to handle those who have become concerned for their eternal welfare and require suitable counsel as to how they may seek salvation in Christ.
