BOOKS (Listed in order of publication)

His Way. Cincinnati: Standard Publishing, 1973, 96pp.; second edition, 1980. Translated into Polish and Spanish. (This is based on one of my earliest courses, “Personal Christian Ethics.” It is an exposition of the ten commandments. It is a 13-lesson book meant to be used by Sunday School classes. Out of print.)

Being Good Enough Isn’t Good Enough: God’s Wonderful Grace. Cincinnati: Standard Publishing, 1976; 96pp. Reprint: Thirteen Lessons on Grace, Joplin, MO: College Press, 1988; 103pp.; now published by Wipf and Stock, Eugene, OR. Translated into Rawang, Tamil, Burmese, Spanish, and Lisu. (This is another 13- lesson book, based on the International Sunday School lesson Scriptures at that time. It incorporates some of my earliest thinking on the subject of grace, but not in a very logical order.)

Solid! The Authority of God’s Word. Cincinnati: Standard Publishing, 1978. Reprint: The Authority of the Bible, Grand Rapids: Baker, 1979; 94pp. Second reprint: Solid! The Authority of God’s Word, Joplin, MO: College Press, 1991, 123pp.; now published by Wipf and Stock, Eugene, OR. Translated into Arabic, Lisu, and Burmese. (This is another 13-lesson study. It covers on a popular level material from my “Word of God” course, on subjects such as the Bible’s inspiration and inerrancy.)

His Truth. Cincinnati: Standard Publishing, 1980. Reprint: Joplin, MO: College Press, 1989; revised ed., 1992; 116pp.; now published by Wipf and Stock, Eugene, OR. Translated into Korean, Arabic, Lisu, Burmese, Rawang, Japanese, Russian, and Tamil. (13 brief lessons on the basics of systematic theology, especially the topics related to sin and salvation.)

The Bible Says. Cincinnati: Standard Publishing, 1982. Reprint: Tough Questions, Biblical Answers (Part II), Joplin, MO: College Press, 1986, 128pp.; now published by Wipf and Stock, Eugene, OR. Translated into Polish. (Another 13-lesson study book, covering two of the four main categories of ethical problems: (1) justice & government, and (2) human life & personhood. I developed this material while teaching my “Ethics Seminar” course, which eventually became four separate courses.)

Tough Questions, Biblical Answers (Part I). Joplin, MO: College Press, 1985, 122pp.; now published by Wipf and Stock, Eugene, OR. Translated into Polish. (This 13-lesson study book covers the other two main categories of ethical problems: (1) sexuality and marriage, and (2) economics and ownership. This was originally written as a sequel to The Bible Says at the request of Standard Publishing; but when they saw the contents of some of the chapters, they refused to print it. That is when I turned to College Press as my main publisher.)

What The Bible Says About God the Creator. Joplin, MO: College Press, 1983, 518pp.; now published by Wipf and Stock, Eugene, OR. (This and the next two volumes were originally intended to be a single volume called What the Bible Says About God. My long-windedness got the better of me, and College Press graciously consented to let me publish the material in three volumes. This one covers God’s work of creation and the divine attributes most obviously displayed therein.)

What the Bible Says About God the Ruler. Joplin, MO: College Press, 1984, 465pp.; now published by Wipf and Stock, Eugene, OR. Translated into Russian. (This sequel to God the Creator deals with the general subject of divine providence, or how God intervenes in and interacts with the ongoing universe. One of its main themes is an analysis and refutation of Calvinism’s main doctrine, i.e., its understanding of the sovereignty of God as it relates to human “free will.”)

What the Bible Says About God the Redeemer. Joplin, MO: College Press, 1987, 598pp.; now published by Wipf and Stock, Eugene, OR. (Centered around the redemptive work of Christ, this volume covers divine attributes such as the Trinity, righteousness, holiness, wrath, love, grace, and immutability.)

Baptism: A Biblical Study. Joplin, MO: College Press, 1989; new edition, 2006, 171pp.. Translated into Russian, Tamil, and Chinese. (This book is an exposition of the 12 main NT texts that relate in some way to the meaning or purpose of baptism. Honest exegesis shows that all 12 passages depict baptism as a salvation event.)

Feminism and the Bible: An Introduction to Feminism for Christians. Joplin, MO: College Press, 1992, 358pp. (This introductory volume explains the four main types of feminism—Secular, Goddess, Liberal Christian, and Evangelical Christian—and how they relate to the Bible. Out of print.)

Gender Roles and the Bible: Creation, the Fall, and Redemption. A Critique of Feminist Biblical Interpretation. Joplin, MO: College Press, 1994, 319pp. (The main point of this volume is to show how feminists—especially evangelical feminists—break all the commonly-accepted rules of hermeneutics or Biblical interpretation, in their effort to defend egalitarianism. This book covers creation, the fall, Jesus and the gospels, and Galatians 3:28.)

Faith’s Fundamentals: Seven Essentials of Christian Belief. Cincinnati: Standard Publishing, 1995, 95pp.; now published by Wipf and Stock, Eugene, OR. Translated into Arabic and Spanish. (When Gene Wigginton was chief editor of Standard Publishing, he came across the concept of “the fundamentals” as set forth by the original “fundamentalism.” He asked me to write a small book presenting the “fundamentals” for today. That is the point of this book.)

Romans, 2 vols., “The College Press NIV Commentary.” Joplin, MO: College Press, 1996 (vol. I, 525pp.), 1998 (vol. II, 499pp.). Condensed, one-volume edition (with much help from Terry Chaney), 2005, 559pp. (This is my only commentary. It is primarily theological and exegetical, with minimal attention to textual and background issues. Much attention is devoted to Calvinism’s favorite sections, e.g., Romans 9.)

The Faith Once for All: Bible Doctrine for Today. Joplin, MO: College Press, 2002; 624pp. Translated into Russian, Arabic, and Spanish . (This is a systematic theology, treating the various Biblical subjects in a logical order. When people ask me how long it took to write this work, I usually say, “About 40 years.” I.e., it is the fruit of a lifetime of study about and reflection upon the contents of the Bible. Its orientation is Arminian, cessationist, and amillennial.)

The Holy Spirit: A Biblical Study. Joplin, MO: College Press, 2006, 131pp. (This small work contains 10 lessons on the Holy Spirit as I have presented them over the years in local churches. It forms a “matching set” with Baptism: A Biblical Study.)

Power from on High: What the Bible Says about the Holy Spirit. Joplin, MO: College Press, 2007, 505pp. (This volume contains all the material from my course on “The Holy Spirit,” plus much more.)

Headship, Submission, and the Bible: Gender Roles in the Home. Joplin, MO: College Press, 2008, 334pp. (This is a sequel to Gender Roles and the Bible, mentioned above. It examines the Biblical data and the feminist distortions of NT texts dealing with headship and submission, especially in the home. It shows how the feminist doctrines of “head [kephale] = source” and “mutual submission” are myths: theology ex nihilo.)

Bible Prophecy and End Times: Twelve Sermons. Joplin, MO: College Press, 2008, 59pp. (These are word- for-word outlines in 8½ x11 format of sermons preached at Miamitown [OH] Church of Christ, presenting on a popular level the material on eschatology in The Faith Once for All.)

Set Free: What the Bible Says About Grace. Joplin, MO: College Press, 2009, 401pp. Translated into Korean. (This book contains the present [2010] content of my seminary course on “The Doctrine of Grace,” which I have taught over 75 times to nearly 2,000 students. In essence it is a challenge to legalistic Restorationists who still teach works-salvation, and to Zwinglian Evangelicals who have abandoned the Biblical teaching on baptism as a grace event.)

God Most High: What the Bible Says about God the Creator, Ruler and Redeemer. Joplin, MO: College Press, 2012. (This is my most recent work. It is a condensation of the three large books on God as listed above. It has been updated, and it contains a CD with the complete contents of the three original works.)

Saved by Grace: The Essence of Christianity. Mason, OH: The Christian Restoration Association, 2017, 128pp. (Twenty-four short studies summarizing this very important doctrine of grace.)

Studies in First Peter: 35 Lessons for Personal or Group Study. Mason, OH: The Christian Restoration Association, 2017, 320pp. (This is an exposition of this book of the New Testament. It explains Peter’s thoughts for us paragraph by paragraph [sometimes verse by verse]. Sample chapter titles: “Our Trinitarian Salvation”; “Born Again”; “Our Living Hope”; “The Fear of God”; “Cleaning Out Your (Spiritual) Fridge”; “Submission to Authority”; “Love One Another to the Max”; “Encouragement in Suffering.”)

Studies in Ephesians: 25 Lessons for Personal or Group Study. Mason, OH: The Christian Restoration Association, 2020, 410pp. (Similar to the previous volume. Subjects addressed include errors of Calvinism, the non-role of Israel in the New Covenant age, salvation by grace, gender roles, and spiritual warfare.)

CHAPTERS IN BOOKS

“Is Bullinger the Source for Zwingli’s Doctrine of the Covenant?” in Heinrich Bullinger 1504-1575: Gesammelte Aufsatze zum 400. Todestag, 2 volumes, ed. U. Gabler and E. Herkenrath. Zürich: Theologischer Verlag, 1975. (An adaptation of material from my doctoral dissertation, “Covenant and Baptism in the Theology of Huldreich Zwingli,” Princeton Theological Seminary, 1971.)

“Conditional Election,” in Grace Unlimited, ed. Clark Pinnock. Minneapolis: Bethany House, 1976. (This is a volume of essays defending Arminian doctrine. This essay on predestination forms the essence of my chapter on this subject in The Faith Once for All.)

“Historical and Contemporary Perspectives on Inerrancy,” in Restoration Forum VI. Joplin, MO: College Press, 1988. (I am grateful to Don DeWelt for asking me to present this material at the 1988 Restoration Forum in Akron, OH. It drew severe criticism from that segment of “our brotherhood” who have rejected the inerrancy of Scripture. The criticism was not so much directed to the content of the paper, which was well documented, but to the issue of whether such a subject should be discussed at all in a “unity” forum.)

“The Nature of Divine Sovereignty,” in The Grace of God, The Will of Man, ed. Clark Pinnock. Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1989. (This is a second volume of pro-Arminian essays edited by Pinnock. He requested that I write the chapter on divine sovereignty, because that was such an important part of my book on God the Ruler. I never noticed until much later that some of the essays in this volume are actually defending open theism, an extreme and unacceptable form of Arminianism spearheaded by Pinnock and at that time just beginning to surface.)

“The Biblical Consensus: Historical Backgrounds to Reformed Theology,” and “Baptism According to the Reformed Tradition,” chapters 1 and 2 in Baptism and the Remission of Sins, ed. David Fletcher. Joplin, MO: College Press, 1990; reprint, Henderson, TN: Hester Publications, 2009. (This is a very valuable collection of essays. My first one explains how all of Christendom held to the same doctrine of baptism as a salvation event for the first 1500 years of Christian history, up through and including Martin Luther. My second chapter is a summary of how Huldreich Zwingli, in 1523-1525, completely broke with this 1500-year Biblical consensus, and introduced a completely new view of baptism, based on an alleged equivalence between OT circumcision and NT baptism. He [not Luther] is thus the origin of the modern Protestant “faith only” teaching.)

“The Nature of Biblical Authority: A Conservative Perspective,” in Conservative, Moderate, Liberal: The Biblical Authority Debate, ed. Charles Blaisdell. St. Louis: CBP Press, 1990. (The essays herein are lectures given in 1989 at Christian Theological Seminary in Indianapolis, a main Disciples of Christ school. I explained and defended the conservative approach to Biblical authority. The other two presentations were moderately liberal and liberally liberal.)

“The Word of God,” and “Baptism,” in Essentials of Christian Doctrine, ed. Steve Burris. Joplin, MO: College Press, 1992. (These are basic summaries of these doctrines.)
“The Church: The House of God,” in Christ’s Victorious Church: Essays on Biblical Ecclesiology and Eschatology in Honor of Tom Friskney, ed. John Weatherly. Eugene, OR: Wipf & Stock, 2001. (This was originally a sermon I preached for an anniversary service of one of the churches I helped to start when I was a student at Westminster Seminary in Philadelphia. In the sermon I show parallels between the church on the one hand, and the purpose and use of the OT temple on the other hand.)

“The Role of Faith in Conversion,” in Evangelicalism and the Stone-Campbell Movement, ed. William R. Baker. Downers Grove: InterVarsity Press, 2002. (Once upon a time the Evangelical Theological Society allowed the “Stone-Campbell” folks to plan and present their own forum at the annual ETS meeting, as long as a “neutral” Evangelical was invited to participate. This is one of my presentations at one of those forums. I challenge not only the Zwinglian “faith only” Evangelical view, but the common Restoration idea that obedience/works are part of the definition of faith.)

“Give Me the Hammer,” in Voices from the Hill, ed. David Faust. Cincinnati: CBC&S Resources, 2003. (This is a sermon on the nature of sins as being a spiritual equivalent to the nails that held Jesus’ body to the cross. Who of us would have volunteered to drive one of the nails through his wrist? How, then, can we be so blasé about sin?)

“Understanding God: God and Time,” in Evangelicalism and the Stone-Campbell Movement, Vol. 2, ed. William R. Baker. Abilene, TX: ACU Press, 2006. (This volume is a second group of scholarly essays presented at the “Stone-Campbell” forum under the auspices of the national meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society. My essay explains how God is related to time. I show how God is a temporal being but yet, contrary to open theism, has complete foreknowledge of the future of his creation.)

“The Classical Arminian View of Election,” in Perspectives on Election: Five Views, ed. Chad Brand. Nashville: Broadman and Holman, 2006. (My 64-page essay takes on most of the main Calvinist doctrines. The other four essays are extreme Calvinism, by Robert Reymond; moderate Calvinism, by Bruce Ware; open theism, by Clark Pinnock; and universalism, by Thomas Talbott. Each of us wrote critiques of the other four; but the editor condensed them severely, leaving out a lot of the good stuff.)
