Animals and Birds occupy a prominent place in the Bible accounts. Nevertheless, it is rare to find a study of this important study from both a Biblical and a scientific standpoint. Both animals and birds appear in historical references, in mentions of nature, in the sacrifices, in their use as foods, in their use as labor, as transport, and of war. Both animals and birds are mentioned in prophetic passages also. Animal products are frequently a part of the Biblical story as well. The Lord Jesus often used both animals and birds in His teachings. For instance, that He might convey the idea that possible privations awaited any who would follow Him, Jesus used foxes to compare with His own lack. Many other analogies are used by our Lord, such as between being fishers of fish and fishers of men; such as His mention of a snake and a scorpion in Luke 11:11, 12 in relation to prayer. There are also frequent metaphorical uses of animals and birds. In this study Dr. Burton Goddard gives both ZOOLOGICAL and ORNITHOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATIONS of all the animals and birds mentioned in the Bible. However, this study is not limited to the scientific identifications, but an alphabetical listing by English names is also given. Under each English name appears the original Hebrew word for the animal or bird. This results in the surprising discovery to readers that there are many Hebrew words employed by the Biblical writers for the same English word. For instance, seventeen Hebrew words are used for goat. Also included are additional discussions regarding the description of, and use of such animals and birds, how and where they appear in the Bible, and many other useful bits of knowledge. This compact, butvery thorough study is taken from the article in The Encyclopedia of Christianity, Volumes I and II (1964, 1968), and is presented here to give this excellent information a wider audience. Burton L. Goddard was the much-degreed librarian at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, South Hamilton, MA. He was the librarian for over forty years, and a principal in the administration of the seminary as well.

This is a country that professes Christianity but it is not. The real god of the United States of America is Mammon. The United States is not a Christian nation; it never has been and it never will be. Although no one on earth is good, most believe they are. In fact, even serial killers see themselves as basically good. Of course, that is not true. All human beings are evil, and peace on earth is impossible because there is no peace for the wicked. Many profess Christianity but few actually are. In this book, I confront people with the truth.

In this remarkable book JOHN TODD (1800-1873) begins what he hoped to be a Systematic Theology for Children.

GOD IS A SPIRIT GOD ETERNAL GOD IS EVERY WHERE GOD ALL-WISE GOD KNOWS EVERY THING GOD'S POWER TRUTH OF GOD GOD DOES AS HE PLEASES GOD IS HOLY GOD IS GOOD Richard Newton, who was called by Spurgeon "The Prince of Preachers to Children," said the following about John Todd: "When I was a young man I happened to read a volume of "Lectures for Children" which had been written and published by Dr. John Todd. I felt then as if I had found a gold mine. That volume lasted me all through college, and taught me how to talk to children." This volume also includes an ADDRESS TO MOTHERS which is one of the finest brief essays we have ever read on the powerful influence of mothers on their children. It alone is worth the price of the book.

"Tuesday Morning Meditations" is an important book for those seeking a deeper understanding of God, spirituality, and ultimate meaning in a world that often seems distant, uncaring, and indifferent.

In these 23 sermonic reflections, author Dwayne Meadows, speaking in language born of a deep engagement with the Biblical text, and with the poetic nuance of the great bards of the sermonic arts, encourages, edifies, and challenges with such sermons as * "This is Love" * "What If" * "Lord make me to know mine end" * "Strange Fruit"

"Tuesday Morning Meditations" is a book for everyone, regardless of denomination or faith tradition, who wrestles with the essential enigma of divine relationality, and is not afraid to question traditional understandings of Humankind's religious strivings.

In March 1848 John Eadie (1810-1876) sent forth this volume with the desire to instruct and excite young people concerning the value of the Bible. The response was so encouraging that four years later he issued a revised and enlarged edition, which is here offered to the public for the first time in more than a century. "Though written for the rising generation, these plain addresses are not meant for mere children. Simplicity has, indeed, been aimed at in their style and arrangement, in order to adapt them to a class of young readers whose minds have already enjoyed some previous training and discipline. They are designed to stimulate thought, as well as impart information. The object of their publication is not only to promote present improvement, but also to foster in the youthful spirit a hallowed taste for further study in the best of all the sciences." - From the Author's Preface

REVEREND SAM: THE TECHNOLOGY OF SALVATION. This is the promise of Sam, brainchild of George Henderson. George, a religious speechwriter with little faith in anything except his own cynicism, is facing pecuniary ruin due to his association with evangelical libertines. He divines an absurdity of an idea: a robot preacher who would be faultless. All that would have to be supplied would be prerecorded sermons written by George, for a nominal fee, of course.

With the support of his financier cousin, Eric, and the animatronics genius of Louis O'Cain, George sets his plan in motion. Sam's speeches soon become both popular and inflammatory. Everyone from a suspicious government to spurned business partners begin pressing from the shadows, leaving George walking a fine line between fortune and sedition.
