|
|
POPULAR BELIEFS: ARE THEY BIBLICAL? Description. This best-selling book examines ten popular Christian beliefs from a historical and biblical perspective. Each belief, like Infant Baptism, Life After Death, Sunday Sacredness, is traced historically and tested biblically. Many Christians will be surprised to discover that some of their cherished, popular beliefs derive from unbiblical pagan teachings and church traditions. The aim of the book is to help sincere and open-minded Christians to test the validity of their beliefs on the basis of the normative authority of the Bible. |
|
FROM SABBATH TO SUNDAY. A HISTORICAL INVESTIGATION OF THE RISE OF SUNDAY OBSERVANCE IN EARLY CHRISTIANITY Description. This book presents the results of five years of painstaking research done by Dr. Bacchiocchi at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome on how the change came about from Saturday to Sunday in early Christianity. The book has the distinction of being the first publication written by a non-Catholic ever to be published with the Catholic imprimatur-approval. The book documents the role of the papacy in changing the Sabbath to Sunday in early Christianity. |
|
DIVINE REST FOR HUMAN RESTLESSNESS. A THEOLOGICAL STUDY OF THE GOOD NEWS OF THE SABBATH FOR TODAY Description. This book complements From Sabbath to Sunday by offering a stirring theological presentation of the relevance of the Biblical seventh-day Sabbath for our tension-filled and restless society. You will find in this book practical principles on how to experience through the Sabbath the Savior's rest and peace in your life. The book has been translated in fifteen languages, helping many to discover the Sabbath as a day of joyful celebration of God's creative and redemptive love. |
|
THE SABBATH UNDER CROSSFIRE. A BIBLICAL ANALYSIS OF RECENT SABBATH/SUNDAY DEVELOPMENTS Description. The book analyzes in a systematic way the most common arguments used to negate the continuity and validity of the Sabbath for today. With compelling Biblical reasoning, it unmasks the fallacies of the attempts made to reduce the Sabbath to a Mosaic institution, fulfilled by Christ and condemned by Paul. The final chapter, "Rediscovering the Sabbath," offers an informative update on the rediscovery of the Sabbath by numerous religious groups and church leaders. |
|
|
THE SABBATH IN THE NEW TESTAMENT Description. In this book Dr. Bacchiocchi summarizes his extensive research by presenting four basic reasons for the permanence of the principle and practice of Sabbathkeeping in the New Testament. The second half of the book answers a wide variety of questions often asked about the Sabbath. To the delight of many the new edition includes a chapter by Mrs. Bacchiocchi where she shares 20 of her family's favorite Italian Sabbath recipes. |
|
IMMORTALITY OR RESURRECTION? A BIBLICAL STUDY ON HUMAN NATURE AND DESTINY Description. With compelling Biblical reasoning, this book unmasks the oldest and possibly the greatest deception of all time, namely, that human beings possess immortal souls that live on forever. It will help you understand how this deceptive teaching of innate immortality has fostered a whole spectrum of erroneous beliefs that have affected adversely Christian thought and practice. Most important of all, this book will increase your appreciation for God's glorious plan for your present life and future destiny. |
|
THE PASSION OF CHRIST IN SCRIPTURE AND HISTORY Description. This book has two major objectives. The first is to provide the information necessary to help people distinguish between what is biblical and what is unbiblical in Gibson's portrayal of Christ's Passion. The second objective is to help Christians of all persuasions more fully appreciate the centrality, necessity, and achievements of the Cross. May a thoughtful reading of this book lead many people to appreciate more fully the Passion of Christ as His passionate love to redeem us from the penalty (Gal 3:13) and the power of sin (Titus 2:14) through His sacrificial death. |
|
THE CHRISTIAN AND ROCK MUSIC: A Study on Biblical Principles of Music Description. Seven authors of six different nationalities have contributed chapters to this book, which has two main objectives. The first is to help people understand the true nature of the various styles of rock music popular today. Special consideration is given to the problems arising from transforming rock music into a medium for Christian worship and evangelism. The second objective is to define those biblical principles that should guide Christians in making good musical choices. The book clearly delineates the issues and provide biblical answers to the problems which have caused so many Christians to stumble. For concerned Christians, this book may well be a musical survival kit in our compromising society. |
|
|
CHRISTIAN DRESS AND ADORNMENT Description. At a time when nudity is in and modesty is out, it is important to understand how our outward appearance reveals the picture of Christ whom we serve. This book examines the Biblical teachings regarding dress, cosmetics, and jewelry. It is an important book designed to help Christians follow the simplicity of Jesus' life-style, even in regard to clothes and appearance. |
|
THE MARRIAGE COVENANT. A BIBLICAL STUDY ON MARRIAGE, DIVORCE, AND REMARRIAGE Description. What many people appreciate most about this book is the clear and compelling way it articulates the Biblical principles for building a happy and lasting marital relationship. Many have expressed their appreciation for the enrichment this book has brought to their marriage. Some couples claim that this book has saved their marriage. You will appreciate the Biblical approach to marriage, divorce, and remarriage. |
|
WINE IN THE BIBLE. A BIBLICAL STUDY ON THE USE OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES Description. This timely study has been heralded by many Evangelical scholars as a breakthrough research which is desperately needed to meet the alcohol epidemic raging in America today. With painstaking research the book shows that the Bible consistently teaches total abstinence and not moderation in the use of alcoholic beverages. This timely book is designed to help, especially young people, develop the moral convictions needed to resist the peer pressure to drink. |
|
THE ADVENT HOPE FOR HUMAN HOPELESSNESS. A THEOLOGICAL STUDY OF THE MEANING OF THE SECOND ADVENT FOR TODAY Description. This book offers a compelling analysis of the unprecedented fulfillment of the End-time prophecies. This book will teach you how to live in the joyful anticipation of Christ's Return. It will help you, who are called to live among the uncertainties and trouble of this present world, to find meaning, courage, and hope in the assurance of a soon-Coming Savior. |
|
HAL LINDSEY'S PROPHETIC JIGSAW PUZZLE: FIVE PREDICTIONS THAT FAILED Description. This book analyzes five of the predictions which Lindsey made in 1970, showing how they failed to come to pass. The purpose of the book, however, is not merely to show the senselessness of Lindsey's sensational end-time scenario, but primarily to help Christians understand the true nature and purpose of Biblical prophecies. |
|
WOMEN IN THE CHURCH.A BIBLICAL STUDY ON THE ROLE OF WOMEN IN THE CHURCH Description. This book provides a much needed balanced interpretation and application of the overall Biblical teachings on the role of women in the church. With compelling Biblical reasoning Dr. Bacchiocchi shows why Scripture excludes women from serving in the headship role of priests, elders or pastors, but includes them inthe supportive ministries of the church. The reason for this Biblical distinction derives not from the cultural conventions of the times, but from the distinct and yet complementary roles God assigned to men and women at creation. |
|
THE TIME OF THE CRUCIFIXION & THE RESURRECTION Description. This book examines the time element of Christ's Crucifixion and Resurrection and offers compelling Biblical and historical evidences which clearly refute the Wednesday-crucifixion and Saturday-resurrection dating. The new edition includes new chapters dealing with the meaning of Christ's death and of His heavenly ministry. |
|
GOD'S FESTIVALS IN SCRIPTURE AND HISTORY Volume 1: THE SPRING FESTIVALS Description. This book traces the meaning and observance of Passover and Pentecost through Biblical and Early Christian History. The study shows how the Spring Festivals invites us to commemorate the redemptive accomplishments of Christ's first Advent, namely, His atoning death, His resurrection, ascension, inauguration of His heavenly ministry, and sending of the Holy Spirit. |
|
GOD'S FESTIVALS IN SCRIPTURE AND HISTORY Volume 2: THE FALL FESTIVALS Description. The second volume examines the historical and theological development of the Fall Feasts of Trumpets, Atonement, and Tabernacles. The study shows how the typology of Fall Feasts points to the consummation of redemption, namely, the judgment, the final disposition of sin, the second Advent, and the restoration of this world. The two volumes challenge Christian churches to develop a church calendar pattern after the Feasts of Israel in order to celebrate during the course of the year the redemptive accomplishments of Christ's first and second Advents. |
|
PROF. GRAEME S. BRADFORD, MORE THAN A PROPHET: HOW WE LOST AND FOUND AGAIN THE REAL ELLEN WHITE Description. This book offer a much needed balanced picture of Ellen White by showing the authenticity of her divine revelations as well as the reality of her human limitations. This book has long been overdue and will do much to restore confidence in the validity of the gift of prophecy as manifested in the writings, preaching, and teachings of Ellen White-a woman who has left such a rich legacy, not only for the Seventh-day Adventist Church, but for the world at large. |
|
PROF. WILLIAM E. RICHARDSON, SPEAKING IN TONGUES? IS IT STILL THE GIFT OF THE SPIRIT? Description. Through a painstaking analysis of the restrictions Paul places on tongues-speaking during the worship service, Prof. Richardson shows that Paul disqualifies much of the Pentecostal speaking in tongues today as an unbiblical, illicit activity. The confusion caused by several people speaking in tongues at the same time without any translation, is an illicit activity clearly condemned by Scripture. |

COMMENTS ABOUT THE BOOKS AUTHORED BY DR.BACCHIOCCHI
"From Sabbath to Sunday
is a thorough and painstaking piece of research, which every investigator
in the future will have to take into account."
Bruce M. Metzger, Professor of New Testament
PRINCETON THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY
"The warning has gone out, Sunday is in trouble. . . . In order
to gain a much needed perspective on this issue, a practical and worthwhile
reading of From Sabbath to Sunday is needed."
Thomas G. Simmons, Director, CATHOLIC DIVINE WORSHIP
Review, MODERN LITURGY MAGAZINE
"From Sabbath to Sunday is a remarkable ecumenical
portent. After reading this solid piece of research any reasonable person
must question the general easy uncritical acceptance of Sunday as the
Lord's Day."
Marcus Ward, THE EXPOSITORY TIMES, England
"The scholarship of From Sabbath to Sunday is
not just impeccable, it is truly a marvel. No patristic stone has been
left unturned. An when, as in several instances, Dr. Bacchiocchi's patristic
and scriptural interpretations are opposed to traditional interpretation,
they are generally quite thought-provoking and in all rather persuasive.
I am really most thoroughly impressed by the scope and vision of the
work."
W. A. Jurgens
Review, THE CATHOLIC HISTORICAL REVIEW
"From Sabbath to Sunday goes over the traces of
early Christianity in a very serious way to show how and why Christians
moved their day of worship from Saturday to Sunday. . . . People who
consider themselves far removed from the issue, will find something
or other in this book that will lead them to a new understanding of
worship."
Martin E. Marty, Ph. D., Prof. Church History, Chicago Divinity School,
Review, THE CHRISTIAN CENTURY
"From Sabbath to Sunday is a well-researched and
well-written treatise that combines erudition, devotion, and an irenic
spirit. ... The implications are staggering, not only for the Sabbath/Sunday
question itself, but also because of the larger question of the relations
between the Old and New Testaments."
Don A. Carson, Ph. D.
Editor of the symposium FROM SABBATH TO THE LORD'S DAY
"Divine Rest for Human Restlessness invites every
reader to a penetrating and suggestive analysis of the tradition and
significance of Sabbathkeeping."
Most Reverend Cardinal Joseph L. Bernardin
ARCHBISHOP OF CHICAGO
"Immortality or Resurrection? is a much needed
book in order to combat the persistent but mistaken opinion that the
soul is an immortal substance. I thank the author for this decisive
study."
Clark H. Pinnock, Ph. D., Professor of Theology,
McMASTER DIVINITY COLLEGE
"Immortality or Resurrection? is a powerful presentation
of the Biblical wholistic view of human nature and destiny. The book

H. L., Th. D., Professor of Hebrew and Old Testament ,
ANDREWS UNIVERSITY

for scholars, educated professionals, and lay people interested in the

timely."
John T. Baldwin, Ph. D., Professor of Theology,
ANDREWS UNIVERSITY
"Immortality or Resurrection? is a groundbreaking
work based on solid biblical exegesis, calling into question the traditional
belief in the immortality of the human soul and the doctrine of unending
eternal torment for the wicked. I want all of my students to be aware
of this timely study."
Ray S. Anderson, Ph. D., Professor of Theology and Ministry
FULLER THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY
"I praise God for the clear, persuasive, powerful and Biblical
sound treatment of the subject of human nature and destiny found in
Immortality or Resurrection? It is the best book I
have seen. I will use this book with every interested person with whom
I study God's Word. I am eager to write a recommendation to the local
conference presidents and ministerial secretaries within the Pacific
Union, urging them to give this book as a gift to every pastor."
Lloyd Wyman, Ministerial Director
PACIFIC UNION CONFERENCE OF SDA
"Few have pursued so rigorously the potential implications of the
Biblical holistic understanding of human nature for such matters as
the state of the dead and the final state of unbelievers, as Dr. Bacchiocchi
has done. The strength of Immortality or Resurrection?
lies in his relentless pursuit of the meaning of the biblical text.
Those who consider themselves biblicists cannot simply dismiss his findings
out of hand."
William W. Klein, Ph. D.,
Professor of New Testament
DENVER SEMINARY
"Immortality or Resurrection? is an admirably
clear survey of the Biblical holistic view of human nature that incorporates
both body and soul in one unified self. It is based upon sound scholarship.
I especially recommend it for students, pastors, and church leaders."
Alan G. Padgett, Ph. D.,
President of Christian Theological Research Fellowship,
Professor of Theology and Philosophy of Science,
AZUSA PACIFIC UNIVERSITY

of the subject and reflects accurate scholarship. The book is much needed
today in view of all the misinformation that is sincerely but mistakenly
published and preached on this important subject.
Elder Ralph Robertson, Ministerial Secretary,
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA CONFERENCE OF SDA
"Immortality or Resurrection? is a most helpful
work showing clearly that the notion of an immortal soul it is no part
of biblical Christianity and must not be allowed to overshadow the true
doctrine of resurrection."
Robert Davis Hughes, III, Ph.D., Professor of Systematic Theology
UNIVERSITY OF THE SOUTH
"Immortality or Resurrection? is a must reading
for every Christian who wants to know the Biblical truth about human
destiny. The book deserves to have a significant impact on contemporary
Christianity as the Reformers had in their day. It overthrows the Greek
view of natural immortality with a penetrating Biblical analysis."
Norman R. Gulley, Ph. D., Professor of Systematic Theology,
SOUTHERN ADVENTIST UNIVERSITY
"Immortality or Resurrection? provides a fresh,
challenging, and thorough review of biblical teaching on human nature
and destiny. It is clear, readable, and provocative, and deserves to
be widely read."
Colin Brown, Ph. D., Professor of Systematic Theology
FULLER THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY
Rector of St. Mark Episcopal Church

to each pastor of the Oregon Conference).
Dick E. Hanson, Director Church Ministries

by it."
Warren S. Ashworth, D. Min., Professor of Religion,
PACIFIC UNION COLLEGE

study on human nature, the state of the dead, and human destiny. Happily,
Dr. Bacchiocchi's Immortality or Resurrection? meets
such a need. Its message is absolutely essential."
S. Douglas Waterhouse, Ph. D., Professor Emeritus of Old Testament,
ANDREWS UNIVERSITY

evidence for a wholistic view of human nature, and removes the basis
for the belief in the survival of the soul . . . Keep extra copies on
hand to give away to give away as you study . . ."
Doug Kilcher, D. Min., Chair, Christian Ministry Department,
ANDREWS UNIVERSITY

is probably it. Study it against Scripture and test the genuineness
of your commitment to truth."
Lael O. Caesar, Ph. D., Professor of Religion,
ANDREWS UNIVERSITY
"Immortality or Resurrection? is destined to become
a classic in its field. The book is a must reading in the light of recent
debate over the nature and destiny of man, and especially, the current
evangelical debate over the nature of hell."
Woodrow W. Whidden, Ph. D., Professor of Historical Theology,
ANDREWS UNIVERSITY

His findings are significant and deserve one's careful consideration."
Thomas A. Krosnicky, S. V. D. DSLit.,
Executive Director, CATHOLIC BISHOPS' COMMITTEE ON LITURGY
"It may be that one of the most powerful forms of anti-Judaism
in the church today is the very structure of its liturgy. Hence From
Sabbath to Sunday must be welcomed as a new, sound research
attempt to open up discussion in this vital area. It is a field that
needs our attention. And one could not find a better starting point
for such an exploration that Dr. Bacchiocchi's latest volume. I recommend
it highly."

Chairman, DEPARTMENT OF RELIGIOUS STUDIES
CATHOLIC THEOLOGICAL UNION, CHICAGO

the masterly handling of the relevant material. It reveals truly a scientific
approach. The book will stimulate a reexamination of long established

Vernon C. Grounds, President,
DENVER CONSERVATIVE BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY

Dress and Adornment! He has chosen a topic of real concern
to committed Christians and has approached it from a Biblical and historical
perspective. All will benefit from reading Christian Dress."
Dr. H. Rasi, Director, Department of Education

ANDREWS UNIVERSITY THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY
"God Festivals in Scripture and History is simply
the best production on the market for historical and theological documentation
on the importance of Biblical festivals to ongoing Christian faith and
worship. The author gives a theologically-sound, well-balanced, and
historically-accurate analysis of the festivals on God's liturgical
calendar from the Hebrew Scriptures, the life of Israel, and the practice
of the early church. He recounts the tragedy of the church's subsequent
denial of this part of its Biblical heritage. Then, he makes practical
suggestions of how Christians can reclaim the legacy of the Hebrew Scriptures
that was brought to them by Jesus and the Apostles. A must reading."

Robert T. Fauth, President
EDEN THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY
"Women in the Church is the most thorough treatment
on the subject on the basis of Scripture to be issued in our day...
It should settle the issued of the ordination of women for evangelical
Christians who hold to the authority of the Bible."
Robert Preus, Ph. D.,
President, CONCORDIA THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY
"Women in the Church is a careful, thorough review
of literature on the subject. Because it presents lucid analysis of
arguments, pays attention to exegetical detail, and above all takes
God's binding word with complete seriousness, the book merits wide consideration.
... It will be helpful for all Christians."
James A. De Jong, Ph. D.,
President, CALVIN THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY

most helpful book yet on the Biblical role of women in the church. It
is complete but not laborious. . . . Very clear and balanced. I will
be using it as a text."
Earl D. Radmacher, Ph. D.,
President, WESTERN CONSERVATIVE BAPTIST SEMINARY
