Lewis Sperry Chafer's "True Evangelism" remains a classic work on the process of evangelism. In this relatively short, but scripture packed treament, Chafer lays out the case for the work of God and man in this most sacred enterprise. While it was written in 1919, it remains at the top of modern reading lists on the subject. The six topics discussed in the book are as follows: I. FALSE FORCES IN EVANGELISM II. SALVATION, THE OBJECTIVE IN EVANGELISM III. THE CONVICTING OF THE SPIRIT IV. THE PRAYER OF INTERCESSION V. SUFFERING WITH CHRIST VI. THE CLEANSING OF THE PRIESTS
An in-depth evaluation of the Serpent and mdash;Satan. Chafer traces from the early pages of Genesis through the book of Revelation a sweeping overview of Satan's past, present, and future.

The world has been willing to comply with the wishes and projects of Satan to the extent of ceasing to believe that he really exists; this unbelief being most advantageous to his present undertakings. Yet the opinions of men have never changed the facts of revelation, and, according to Scripture, Satan exists; still possessed with great power and influence over the affairs of men-a power and influence to be increasingly dreaded as this present age advances. The teachings of Scripture on this important subject are but little understood by Christians and seem to be entirely outside the thought of the world. It is, therefore, to be expected that any attempt to present this truth will seem, to many, mere folly and fiction. The name Satan has by no means been lost. It has, however, been associated with a most unscriptural fancy. Without reference to revelation, the world has imagined a grotesque being, fitted with strange trappings, who has been made the central character in theatrical performances; and by this relation to the unreality of the theatre, the real character of Satan has come to be only one of the myths of a bygone age.
Lewis Sperry Chafer (1871 - 1952) was an American theologian who founded the Dallas Theological Seminary. Chafer was mentored by C.I. Scofield and became a key figure for Christian Dispensationalism in the early 20th century.
The original eight volumes now complete and unabridged in four! "Though scholarly in the true sense of the word, this work can also be read and understood by those not formally trained in theology." --Charles C. Ryrie

If you tend to shrink in guilt and fear when you hear the word “evangelism,” this book is for you. Saturated with grace and deep biblical insight, Chafer helps us understand that evangelism is never about pressure or a formula. Rather, it is about interceding for the Lost and being open to the Holy Spirit’s leading in sharing the Gospel when the time is right. One cannot read this book without being inspired and refreshed in the Christian’s great task, privilege and joy of evangelism.

In this work celebrated theologian and pastor Lewis Sperry Chafer takes on the tough questions about the ever mysterious and elusive enemy of God, Satan. Going through the Bible and analyzing each reference to either Satan, Lucifer, the Devil or his works, Chafer shows us that the Devil is someone we should watch out for as a predator always on the prowl.
Jew or Gentile, you will find a study of the Jewish nation - past, present and future - one of the most fascinating as well as rewarding subjects you have ever investigated. In Israel's Restoration ten recognized authorities on the Jews in relation to prophetic Scripture bring you a comprehensive survey of the Jew - his place in God's plans and his relation to you as a Christian.
Christian eschatology and prophecy are interwoven in the teachings of the Bible to such an extent that the knowledge of the first is limited to the extent that we comprehend the second. Every doctrine of the Christian faith has its conclusion or culmination in that future which is the burden of Biblical prophecy. An ignorance of this prophecy, or any perversion of it, seriously affects one’s concept of the pure faith. It is for this reason, therefore, that a clear Biblical expression concerning prophecy is necessary. Especially is it needed because confusion is increasing among Christians with regard to trustworthy teaching of prophecy, leading, as is usual in such cases, to lessened certainty in testimony and to decreased evangelistic zeal in winning the lost to Christ. With a view to rendering service to the Lord Jesus Christ and His Church, a group of believers, assisted or counselled by many well-known and trusted Bible teachers, decided to call a conference on the Christian faith in its relation to prophecy. Because of its wide capacity organizationally, its peculiar fitness to promote such a conference, and its ability to distribute benefits derived therefrom, the sponsorship rested with the American Board of Missions to the Jews. Under the direction of its energetic and capable secretary, Dr. Joseph Hoffman Cohn, the program for a Congress on Prophecy was carefully arranged and it was carried out in the Calvary Baptist Church, New York City, November 1-8, 1942.
The Gospel of the Christ is a clear, biblical reply to the question of what a person must believe about Jesus Christ to possess eternal life. While Christianity has historically maintained that faith in Jesus Christ is essential for everlasting life, this raises the vital question: what is the necessary content of this faith? Written against the backdrop of the controversy within Free Grace circles over the "crossless gospel" and the contents of saving faith, Thomas Stegall goes well beyond a carefully documented analysis of his own movement. The Gospel of the Christ provides a systematic, exegetically-based treatment of biblical teaching on the subject of "the gospel" and the meaning of the title, "the Christ." The end result is a comprehensive biblical and theological study of Jesus Christ's person and work in the contents of saving faith.
Integrative Theology is designed to help graduate students in a pluralistic world utilize a standard method of fruitful research. Each chapter on a major doctrine: (1) states a classic issue of ultimate concern, (2) surveys alternative past and present answers and (3) tests those proposals by their congruence with information on the subject progressively revealed from Genesis to Revelation. Then the chapter (4) formulates a doctrinal conclusion that consistently fits the many lines of biblical data, (5) defends that conviction respectfully, and finally (6) explores the conclusion’s relevance to a person’s spiritual birth, growth and service to others, all for the glory of God. Why the title Integrative Theology? In each chapter, steps 2-6 integrate the disciplines of historical, biblical, systematic, apologetic and practical theology.
A one-volume edition of the three-volume 'Integrative Theology', this text deals with the definition and application of this new and distinctive approach to religious study.
