DELUGE

Gerald Wheeler, Southern Publishing Association, Nashville, Tennessee 37202, 1978, 32 pages, $ .85.

Within the confines of its limited space this small paperback carefully examines the data relating to flood geology and shows how these facts best fit into the Biblical account. Wheeler shows, for example, that certain spectacular fossil finds can be most adequately accounted for by the Flood model. One chapter explores various theories of coal formation. The book is written in nontechnical language for the layman while at the same time making careful use of scientific data.

THE OPEN RAPTURE

Sakae Kubo, Southern Publishing Association, Nashville, Tennessee 37202, 1978, 32 pages, $ .85.

In The Open Rapture Kubo uses a captivating narrative style to examine the array of opinions held in regard to the second coming of Jesus. Differing concepts of Daniel's seventy-week prophecy, the millennium, the tribulation, and the rapture all come in for their share of attention. At the close of this short book the reader not only will have been exposed to various ideas, he will have a clear understanding of what the author considers to be the Biblical position.

Kubo is chairman of the School of Theology at Walla Walla College, Walla Walla, Washington.

GOD MEETS MAN

Sakae Kubo, Southern Publishing Association, Nashville, Tennessee 37202, 1978, 160 pages, $7.95.

In his usual readable style, Dr. Kubo examines the doctrines of the second coming of Christ and the Sabbath as they relate to man's interaction with God as Creator and Redeemer. Practical, spiritual benefit for various aspects of man's existence appears on every page.

THE WORLD OF MOSES

Paul F. Bork, Southern Publishing Association, Nashville, Tennessee 37202, 1978, 128 pages, $4.95.

To read this book is to take a trip backward in time. The reader can almost imagine he is living in the world of Moses as the author uses the discoveries of archeology to vividly recreate what Egypt was like during that time. The book deals with internal and international affairs, the time of the Exodus and the people the Israelites must have contacted in their journeys. It also traces the development of writing and the matter of inspiration.

Bork is associate professor of religion at Pacific Union College, Angwin, California. He has participated in excavations at Tell Gezer and the Mount Zion area of Jerusalem. During 1979 he will be associated with digs in the Dead Sea areas of Sodom and Gomorrah.

SATURDAY OR SUNDAY?

D. E. Casebolt, Southern Publishing Association, Nashville, Tennessee 37202, 1978, 63 pages, $ .85.

This small volume grew from correspondence between Dr. Casebolt, a practicing physician who observes Saturday as the Sabbath, and a Sunday-observing minister regarding articles the minister had written in the local newspaper. Using both Biblical and historical sources, the book explores the generally accepted position that the apostles and early Christians kept Sunday as the weekly day of worship.

TWO BE ONE

Ernest H. J. Steed, Logos International, Plainfleld, N.J., 1978, 160 pages, $2.95.

No, this is not a book about marriage, at least not the husband-wife relationship. Yet, in a certain sense, Two Be One is about a marriage that Satan has been trying to produce for centuries. This book purposes to unlock the mystery that explains the devil's program in ancient and modern paganism, occultism, Communism, and even ecumenism and Christianity. That key is the satanic marriage of good and evil. The devil has always seduced man by giving him a little good along with evil and attempting to persuade him that this amalgamation can be the source of oneness, peace, restoration, and life.

Two Be One contrasts God's method of achieving oneness—separation of good from evil—with Satan's plan. The book is easy to read and contributes a scholarly source of information on the relationship between Christianity and other world religions.
