Exile and Restoration - a Study of Hebrew Thought of the Sixth Century Bc

London, SCM Press. 1968, First Edition. (ISBN: 0334004098). Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with dustjacket which has a small repaired closed tear to lower front. xv + 286 pages. The period of exile and restoration is a crucial one for the understanding of the development of Old Testament thought. The collapse of the state, the destruction of the Temple, the break-up of the community, all necessitated a re-thinking of the religious tradition. This book sets out to examine some of the aspects of the rich thought of the period. The problems involved are many: the course of events is not always clear, and the literature of the time presents difficulties. Much of this study is therefore devoted to a thorough scrutiny of what material we have: Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Deuteronomy, Isaiah, Haggai, Zechariah, the Deuteronomic History and the Priestly Work. NOT EX LIB R3. Fine/Very Good.

ALVES, RUBEM A.

Protestantism and Repression - a Brazilian Case Study

London, SCM Press. 1979, First Edition. (ISBN: 0334022789). Soft Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A near Fine clean, tight and unmarked copy. xxxiii + 215 pages. Over the last 25 years incredible changes have taken place in the Presbyterian Church of Brazil, and at the beginning of the 1960's it was acclaimed as the outstanding success story of Protestantism in Latin America, with its vitality and prospects for further growth. Now, after long domination by a small group of reactionary leaders, the church is decimated and the word Presbyterian has connotations of religious fanaticism and repression. Professor Alves explains how this happened, and it is a sobering story, made more grim by the thought that, as an increasing tide of conservatism sweeps the churches of North America and indeed of Europe, the same thing could happen there.

ANDRUS, HYRUM L.

Joseph Smith, the Man and the Seer

Salt Lake City, Utah, Deseret. 1961. Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Very Good+ clean, tight and unmarked copy in brown cloth boards which has a little light foxing to top edge with VG dustjacket which is not price clipped. Second printing (fisrt was 1960). The book brings into sharp focus the founder, under God the Father and his son Jesus Christ, of the Church of Latter-day Saints. The Church stands or falls by the acceptance or rejection of the Prophet. The Dispensation of the Fulness of Times gains credence or denial by the acceptance or denial of the Prophet's divine calling. Dr. Andrus has deftly brought together material from friend, foe, as well as from acquaintance of the Prophet, and from each of these eyewitnesses comes a tribute. That Brigham Young's dying words were Joseph Smith's name indicates the undying effect of the Seer on those who had linked their cause to his - to the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. R1.
