First, Dr. Gumerlock provides an exemplary example of Christian scholarly charity when interacting with differing points of view. Second, his handling of ancient texts and various possible interpretations are thoroughgoing and satisfying.

Whether coming from skeptics, atheist, leftists, cults, or even other Christians, poor logic and dubious reasoning deserve exposure and correction. In his new book, Biblical Logic, Joel McDurmon returns to Gods Word to recover logic and critical thinking from the hands of the enemy, and to expose the fallacies of unbelief and unbiblical ideas.\u003cbr style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none;\"\u003eBut is the Bible really the place to turn for logic? Is not logic the domain of scholars and philosophers? The British philosopher John Locke long ago answered this common misconception: God has not been so sparing to men to make them barely two-legged creatures, and left it to Aristotle to make them rational. In other words, logic existed and people reasoned and used the critical faculties of their minds long before any philosopher came along to teach about it. God created logic and reasoning as He created man, and He created it for man, and therefore we should find it reasonable that God's Word has something to say-- if not a lot to say-- about logic, rationality, and good judgment.\u003cbr style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none;\"\u003eChrist has made us priests and kings (Rev. 1:6). He has determined that His saints shall judge the world, and even judge angels (1 Cor. 6:23), and He has thoroughly equipped us to perform these tasks. God's Word sets the standard of reasoning and law by which we shall judge, and the Bible teaches us this standard we must follow and to which we ourselves must give account.

Some even make the case that there is a direct assault on the Christian religion because it is the only belief system that is greater than government and puts limits on governments. Relegating God to a distant corner of the universe empowers and emboldens governments to do what they will. In pre-Nazi Germany, many Christians were under the false assumption that they had to go along with whatever their civil rulers demanded. For decades before the rise of Hitler, Christians were subjected to arguments like the following from pastors and theologians:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin: 0px 0px 10px 30px; padding: 0px; outline: none; color: #010101; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 0px 0px 2px; padding: 0px; outline: none;\"\u003eThe Gospel has absolutely nothing to do with outward existence but only with eternal life, not with external orders and institutions which could come in conflict with the secular orders but only with the heart and its relationship with God.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin: 0px 0px 2px; padding: 0px; outline: none;\"\u003eThe Gospel frees us from this world, frees us from all questions of this world, frees us inwardly, also from the questions of public life, also from the social question.

Much of their thinking was shaped by a misreading of Romans 13 and a misapplication of Matthew 22:21 where Jesus says Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesars. As with all authority, there are limits, including limits on civil government. It might also help to realize that we do not live under Caesar. Our civil rulers took an oath to uphold the Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land. Neither the president nor the members of Congress are Caesar. If we have a Caesar, it is the United States Constitution. But even the Constitution recognizes its own limits and the right of the people to (1) express their grievances, (2) vote corrupt and oath-breaking rulers out of office, and (3) change existing laws.\u003cbr style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none;\"\u003eThe Bible tells us that civil rulers are ministers of God. The Greek word translated ministers is the same word used to describe ministers in a church. There are civil ministers and church ministers. Both serve as God's ministers within their jurisdictions. It is unbiblical to assume that civil rulers are autonomous, that they can legitimately rule independent of Gods limiting authority of them. It is a serious mistake to take Paul's instructions in Romans 13 and claim that civil rulers cannot be challenged by the citizenry. \u003cbr style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none;\"\u003eNotice the use of governing authorities in Romans 13:1. There's not just one ruler; there are many. Even Rome had governors and other civil officials. Our own system of civil government follows the biblical model of multiple civil rulers with county, state, and national authorities. American civil government was designed to be decentralized and limited at all levels. We have a United States Constitution and 50 state constitutions. Its unfortunate that as a nation we have turned unwarranted and unconstitutional authority over to the national government to the exclusion of state and county governments. \u003cbr style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none;\"\u003eCivil authorities are to rule in terms of good and evil. There is no room for tyranny in these words. Those who rule are bound by the same laws as the rest of us. That's why there is no divine right of kings in the Bible. The prophet Nathan challenged King David to do right. Daniel was not a revolutionary when he opposed the king's law. John the Baptist rebuked King Herod for his sexual sins. Jesus even called him a fox. Peter continued to preach, obeying God rather than man, even though he was commanded to stop by the authorities of his day. Paul used his Roman citizenship to challenge the Roman Empire. Paul spent a great deal of time in prison because he was seen as a threat to the Empire.\u003cbr style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none;\"\u003eTo obey Romans 13 is to call our civil officials to uphold their oath of office, an oath that nearly all of them took by repeating the words \"So help me God!\"\u003cbr style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none;\"\u003eJames Willson's study of Romans 13 is needed more than ever. What's most helpful about it is that it was written in a time that is not muddied by the politics of our day. There are no current or recently passed politicians named. He sticks to principles based on the Bible. If we are to save our Republic, then we are bound to heed his instruction and warnings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-bottom: 5px; padding: 0px; outline: none; font-size: 1.4em; color: #010101; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;\"\u003eExcerpt\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; outline: none; line-height: 1.3; color: #010101; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none; font-style: italic;\"\u003eWe live in an age and country of liberal ideas regarding government - an age when the right of the people are watched with the utmost sagacity and vigilance.

Infidelity attempts to turn this feeling in behalf of liberty into it own channel to rouse it against the Bible, as it is favored absolute and irresponsible power;and they avail themselves, and with no little success, of the mistaken exposition of the very passage before is. The expositors to whom we have referred intend to strengthen the arm of any and all civil authority these interpretations the infidel schoolhouse for the overthrow of the authority of the Bible.

Too many Christians are under the false impression that they are obligated to endure the legislative acts handed down by government officials no matter how evil they may be. This is a simplistic and dangerous reading of Paul's instructions in Romans 13. Elected officials are as equally bound to distinguish between good and evil in the area of civil government as are unelected citizens. Being a ruler offers no exemption. James Willson's exposition of Romans 13 is a much needed antidote to both the advocacy of passivity and rebellion that some are inclined to take.\" \u003cspan style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none; font-style: italic;\"\u003e- Gary DeMar, author and President of American Vision\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eAbout the Author: \u003c\/span\u003eJames M.

First, there must be a re-establishment of true government in the Church. Second, there must be a re-establishment of true liturgical discipline around the sacrament. Third, there must be a re-establishment of sound teaching. Because judgment begins at the house of God, when these things are recovered by the Church they will also be recovered by society at large. The Church is the nursery of the Kingdom, and there can be no reformation in state, school, or family, until there is reformation in the Church. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; outline: none; line-height: 1.3; color: #010101; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;\"\u003eMan's problems are indeed religious, but religion is not just theology, and man's problem is not just bad theology.

He goes where few commentators have gone before. As he shows in page after page of tightly argued points, there is a unity to the prophetic message of the gospels and the rest of the New Testament. Itʼs about new wine in new wine skins. Everything about the old covenant was planned obsolescence. Jesus was always in view, from the first promise of a savior in Genesis 3:15 to the revelation that “the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy” in Revelation 19:10. So much of modern-day prophecy commentary is an attempt to rebuild what was never meant to be rebuilt. The parables, as Joel makes abundantly clear, serve to show that the breaking down of the dividing wall was on the horizon for them and the world with the result that there would be “one new man” in Christ (Eph. 2:11–22). The destruction of Jerusalem and the dismantling of the templeʼs stones were a foregone conclusion because Jesus had always been the reality over the shadow (John 2:19). \u003cem style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none;\"\u003e- Gary DeMar\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; outline: none; line-height: 1.3; color: #010101; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none; font-size: small; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/span\u003e  Joel McDurmon, M.Div., Reformed Episcopal Theological Seminary, is the Director of Research for American Vision.

As Rev. Edward J. Giddings’s \u003cem\u003eAmerican Christian Rulers\u003c\/em\u003e attests, citizens who lived during the nascent years of the American republic saw a clear connection between the private faith and public faithfulness of a man. Recognizing that the only sure foundation for a prosperous country lay in sound Christian virtue, they accordingly elected men for their personal professions just as much as their political platforms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this diverse collection of nearly 200 biographies culled from two centuries of American leadership—from colonial legislatures to the White House—Rev. Giddings establishes a convincing case that the United States was a Christian nation not just because of the institutions she boasted, but because of the lives her people led.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this cynical age, however, some may discredit Giddings’s work by claiming that politicians will profess to believe anything in order to garner votes—that the statesmen under discussion here could have faked their Christian walks just as easily as Newt Gingrich, Mark Sanford, John Ensign, John Edwards, and David Vitter have done in our own age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut with its pages informed by private testimonies and eyewitness accounts of the personal lives of these men, \u003cem\u003eAmerican Christian Rulers\u003c\/em\u003e contradicts this facile criticism. If these men faked Christianity, they were brilliant method actors that never fell out of character, even well past their tenures in old age and in the privacy of their own homes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis classic exposé of nearly 200 great American statesmen testifies to the genuine faith of our nation’s fledgling days: that Christianity was the foundation of our public service, that an overwhelmingly Christian populace exercised uncontestable political pressure over the civic character of the country, and that America ascended to greatness because of—and not despite—her Christian foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is not just fascinating reading. It is a call to modern Christian voters to demand more than just fiscal conservatism and balanced budgets from our leaders, and a call to politicians to return to single-minded, unimpeachable integrity. It is a memorial now in great danger of being forgotten—of what made America great, and what can make her great again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuthor: Edward J.

Clark's extensive footnotes—thousands of them referencing the Bible and court cases—show how often the Bible has been used in contemporary lawmaking.\u003cem style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 9px; margin-bottom: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none; line-height: normal; color: #010101; font-size: 12px; font-family: Arial; text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e\u003cem style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none;\"\u003eBiblical Law\u003c\/em\u003e is a true compendium of the Bibles use of law touching on everything—from religious freedom, sales, exchanges, leases, labor and employment to health, healing, physicians, and everything in between.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\" style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none; white-space: pre; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 9px; margin-bottom: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none; line-height: normal; color: #010101; font-size: 12px; font-family: Arial; text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\" style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none; white-space: pre; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 9px; margin-bottom: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none; line-height: normal; color: #010101; font-size: 12px; font-family: Arial; text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eFrom the author's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none; font-weight: bold;\"\u003e Preface:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 9px; margin-bottom: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none; line-height: normal; color: #010101; font-size: 12px; font-family: Arial; text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003eA Pandect of Profitable Laws, against Rebellious Spirits!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 9px; margin-bottom: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none; line-height: normal; color: #010101; font-size: 12px; font-family: Arial; text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003eThus the Scriptures are described in the Preface to the King James Version.

Having encountered heavy resistance to the prophet's message of comprehensive revival and restoration in history, modern evangelical Christianity has abandoned the prophets. Unlike Jonah, who grew weary of life in the belly of a whale, modern evangelicalism has not only grown accustomed to the Church's cultural irrelevance today, it has actually proclaimed this pathetic condition as God's plan for the \"Church Age.\" But is it? Not according to Jesus' instructions to His Church: the discipline (putting under God's discipline) of all nations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; outline: none; line-height: 1.3; color: #010101; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none;\"\u003e\"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.

Kenneth L. Gentry, Jr. presents a comprehensive biblical case for God's comprehensive salvation and restoration in history. Sin is comprehensive; God's healing grace is no less comprehensive. Whenever sin reigns today, there God speaks to sinful man and offers a way of escape. \"There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it\" (I Corinthians 10:13).

The Great Commission calls the Church (in this \"Church Age\") to make a full-scale attack on modern humanist civilization, but always in terms of a positive message and practical program: a better way of life in every area of life. This is the greatness of the Great Commission. It must not be narrowed to exclude culture from God's special grace.\u003cstrong style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none;\"\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; outline: none; line-height: 1.3; color: #010101; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none; font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none; font-weight: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/span\u003e Dr. Gentry is a graduate of Tennessee Temple University, Reformed Theological Seminary, and Whitefield Theological Seminary.
