| | | I have used the Companion Bible for years. As long as you know up front that he is an 'old school' dispy, it can be a good resource.

He disagreed with the Lord's Supper and water baptism for Christians. And thought that only those Pauline epistles of the imprisonment period (i.e. post-Acts 28) were for the Church. | | The Following User Says Thank You to AV1611 For This Useful Post: | |

| | | I have his Bible and a lot of his works in print and I'd have to say everything but the Bible is a waste of time and money.

| | | Figures of speech used in the Bible is a resourse I use often--one does need to exercise caution, but from a purely linguistic POV it is a masterful work. His theology does come through at places, and one must use it critically.
