Do Not Disavow

Do Not Disavow By: Rick Davis   When Charlemagne established law Salic in barb’rous land, The gospel flourished, and he saw Christ’s praise on every hand.   (“Do you approve his methods now?”) I do not disavow.   King Godfrey took Jerusalem From bloody paynim hands And brought a halt to Musselmen Invading Christian lands.   (“He did some mean things anyhow!”) I do not disavow.   King Richard with his scarlet shield And passant lions ‘bossed Rode forth again unto the field To regain what was lost.   (“His deeds at Acre you allow?”) I do not disavow.   Unto the Germans Luther brought The gospel full restored, And Calvin at Geneva taught The glory of the Lord.   (“The Jews?

The Life and Theology of Paul

The Life and Theology of Paul is a solid overview of the core of the Apostle Paul's presentation of the gospel. It's a short book, and most of the chapters end with a "Lessons for Today" section that would make this an ideal resource for a church Bible study. Waters clearly intends this book for a lay audience, and as such he avoids directly miring himself in most of the controversies surrounding things like the New Perspective on Paul.

This is a book I would recommend for a small-group study of the gospel.
