I. THE SYNOPTIC PROBLEM (MATTHEW, MARK, & LUKE)
A. The term “synoptic” comes from the Greek adjective, “συνοπτικός“ which is made up of two terms, “συν” and “οψείω” meaning “to see” “with” or “together”. In this discussion the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke are looked at beside one another /assets/worddocs/MAT-INTR.zip
Copyright 2000 by Pleasant Valley Publications. IntroductionOver the past couple of months several people have approached me or my wife about a wonderful ministry that they’ve come across that has changed their lives. It is the ministry and teaching of Henry Wright. We were invited to read his book, to attend a bible study based on the book, and to go to the seminars when he came to town last week. One of the more common descriptions given was that he is so biblical in his teaching because he backs everything up with scripture.
By J.I. Packer
Wheaton, IL: Crossway Books, 2002, 272 pages.
As Packer notes in his Foreword, this volume, which is devoted to Bishop J.C. Ryle (d. 1900), is really two books in one. The first is a survey of Ryle’s life and work, highlighting his quality and stature as an English evangelical leader. The second is a reprint of the first edition of his book, Holiness, published in 1877 (page 9).
By John Stott
Downers Grove, IL: InterVarsity Press, 2001, 235 pages.
The contents of this book were delivered by John Stott at the A.D. 2000 London Lectures on Contemporary Christianity, at All Souls Church, London on four consecutive Thursdays. The full title of the lectures was The Incomparable Christ: Celebrating His Millennial Birth. Despite having founded the annual London Lectures in 1974, Stott had never been the lecturer until this time.

Downers Grove, Ill: InterVarsity Press, 2001, 138 pages.
The stated goal of the Pocket Dictionary is to define the “third language that’s neither Greek nor recognizable English—the technical vocabulary of grammarians, lexicographers, linguists and Greek instructors.” To that end, DeMoss defines more than 1,700 terms related to multiple fields of study including grammar, textual criticism, exegetical method and New Testament criticism.

Abstract
This essay debunks the philosophy espoused by Gregory Boyd in his work: God of the Possible. It is also an attempt to clarify Boyd’s fundamental doctrine and to examine the alternative views he discredits. His philosophy must certainly be dealt with in any current dialogue on the sovereignty of God and brings renewed importance to an age-old debate. /assets/worddocs/helwig_godofpossible.zip
by Dr. Harold O. J. Brown
Hendrickson Publishers, Inc. 512 pages March 1998.
This book was originally published in 1984 under the title Heresies : The Image of Christ in the Mirror of Heresy and Orthodoxy from the Apostles to the Present. There was a very good review by Joseph Sobran in the October 5, 1984 issue of “National Review” which led me to purchase the original book.
Dr. Brown is currently with the Reformed Theological Seminary Resident Faculty, in Charlotte NC.
