The Old Testament and Modern Discovery

London, Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge. 1938, First Edition. Soft Cover, 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. A Very Good+ clean, tight and unmarked copy apart from a small name to inside cover. xii + 102 pages. 8 illustrations. Modern discovery has shed a brilliant light upon the Bible, and of the Old Testament in particular. For 18 centuries the extant records of the ancient world had been searched for anything that which might throw additional light on the Bible story, but apart from meagre reference by Greek historians, outside of their own sacred writings, the children of Israel might never have existed. Today this has all changed with the discoveries in Egypt, Babylonia, Assyria, Palestine and in other ancient lands. This small work illustaretes the discoveries at that time. NOT AN EX LIBRARY COPY R7. Very Good/No Jacket.

Robert Runcie - the Reluctant Archbishop

London, Hodder and Stoughton. 1996. (ISBN: 0340571071). Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A near Fine unmarked copy (Fine apart from a small mark left by sticky label removal from front pastedown) with VG+ dustjacket which is not price clipped. x + 401 pages. 31 illustrations. Robert Runcie the 102nd Archbishop of Canterbury, invited Humphrey Carpenter to be his biographer in his closing months as Archbishop of Canterbury. It triggered a sequence of meetings over four years in which, playing Boswell to Runcie's Johnson, Carpenter reveals the man behind the office and, through many focuses, draws a picture of an archbishop grappling with eventful times for the relations of Church to state. Runcie's archbishopric saw the first visit of a Pope to British soil, the Falklands War, and his own peace envoy, Terry Waite, being taken hostage in Beirut. It saw him at odds with Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, and criticised by factions within the Anglican hierarchy. R2. Near Fine/Very Good.

A Fine unmarked copy which has an inscription to front endpaper with Fine dustjacket which is price clipped. xi + 422 pages. 17 illustrations. INCLUDED also is a MEMORIAL booklet of Michael Ramsey and his wife Joan. Professor Chadwick's masterly account of Archbishop Ramsey's life and works, written at the invitation of Ramsey, from Ramsey's personal materials and free access to Lambeth Palace archives. At home he was politically concerned against racialism in Britain, and determined to secure justice and equality for immigrants. Abroad he was a stern opponent of apartheid, whether in South Africa or in Rhodesia. In Parliament he helped to abolish capital punishment and to secure better treatment for homosexuals. In Christendom at large he was leader in a new spirit of brotherhood among the churches, and benefited from the new ecumenical spirit in the Roman Catholic Church and the Orthodox churches of Eastern Europe. He comes out of the book as a person of much prayer and rock-like conviction, who in an age of shaken opinion was an anchor of faith and hope among a pessimistic generation.
