"Balancing The Book - A Study of Biblical Paradoxes" expounds many Biblical passages which appear to be contradictory, yet which are clearly designed to challenge men to think out the meaning. Many of the inspired writers of Scripture delighted in the use of paradoxes to present their message, and unless we take this into account we may never arrive at a proper balance.

This text covers the history and beliefs of Islam, the arguments used by Moslems to support their beliefs and to attack the Bible and Bible truth, and arguments that might be used to challenge and convince Moslems of the truth of the Bible. It is intended to be read by Christadelphians with an interest in declaring the truth to Moslems.

The same word can have two completely different meanings to different people, depending on their religious background. This book lists alphabetically a wide range of Bible words and explains them by the way they are used in the context of the Scriptures as a whole. Since the Bible is God's inspired Word and our only authoritative guide, a large number of Scripture references are given. The book also discusses words not found in the Bible but which are commonly used to explain Biblical concepts - whether rightly or wrongly.
Bible Words focuses on words which are frequently neglected or misunderstood, or whose meaning has changed over the centuries in relation to everyday speech. It is a reference book for those who would like to clear their minds of popular misconceptions and reach a better understanding of the Bible. It is also valuable as a teaching or preaching tool.

Many years have passed since the phrase "the impregnable rock of Holy Scripture" was first used, but it is still true. In all the changes swamping our world, God's word, the Bible, stands firm. God himself is "The Rock" of the Bible, and as he is unchanging so is his word.
Religions of many types and forms exist in our world, but unless our faith is built on the solid foundation of the Bible, the God inspired writings of "the apostles (N.T.) and prophets (O.T.), Jesus Christ being the chief corner stone", it is useless human tradition. This book sets clearly before us, mostly in the words of the Bible itself, the first principles of truth.
An excellent book, clearly setting out the first principles of Bible teaching, with a wealth of Bible quotations covering every basic topic. A most useful handbook for both the preacher of, and searcher for, truth. Designed particularly for those engaged in preaching the truth, and shouldn't that be all of us?

"We can well understand that Dr. Hayward found this an exceptionally difficult book to write, which makes us all the more grateful that he undertook the task. What is particularly inspiring is the fact that the author himself is a committed Christian, and therefore is able to unite his experience with his scientific knowledge. Many will turn with expectancy to the chapter, "Why Christianity?" and be fortified as they read the impressive and (for many of us) final arguments for the Christian revelation of the Almighty. It is a book which answers some (if not all) of the many questions young people are asking at the present time, and which will carry greater weight and authority when it is recognised that it is not written by a professional theologian, but by a scientist who is also one who himself fervently believes what he argues so cogently, for the benefit of others who may be faltering where they firmly trod". -- Marcus Beverly - "The Christian Herald"

"First Epistle of John is an extension of the Gospel of John. In it we are shown how the principles which govern the life of God's Son, and the power which transformed him, may become, by his grace, the principles and power of 'those whom his Father has given him'."

Extract: "The authorship of this work is somewhat uncertain. It has been attributed to a Mr. Epps of London, a brother of Dr. Epps, of homeopathic and cocoa fame. It was published anonymously in 1842 under the title, "The Devil - an Expose". It remains one of the clearest expositions on the subject of the "devil" and "satan". The lectures were delivered to a metropolitan congregation and an application was made for their publication, hence their appearance".

A story for all ages telling of the faith and martyrdom of our brothers and sisters living in the catacombs of Rome many centuries ago. Do we with "lions" fight as committedly as did the men of faith of old? Do we really choose to suffer affliction with the people of God, rather than enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season, or do we casually choose a path which is only a mite different from the world about us? This book may assist to a fuller commitment to "him who loved us, and washed us from our sins".

This translation was published 120 years ago, eleven years after the discovery of the Sinaitic manuscript, and has not since been in print. Based on a study of the Sinaitic, Vatican, Alexandrian and other original Greek manuscripts, it is a revision of the Authorized version. Richter (a non-Christadelphian), left his position as a missionary for the Berlin Mission as a result of his studies of original texts, and translates out some of the anglicized Greek words, or leaves them in their pure form explaining the original meaning; e.g. 'baptize' becomes 'immerse', 'devil' is 'diabolos'. The 'word' of John 1:1 is given neuter gender in the verses that follow. His 90 page introduction is largely a powerful defense of true teaching, although one or two doctrinal inaccuracies show up.
