Noble, I wouldn't recommend Way of Life Encyclopedia. Some of the info is good, other stuff is under-researched, info is lacking in scholarship and quality at times, and then other times he is very biased in his work. There are many dictionaries similar to that and other online resources which would be much better. It's actually a small work as encyclopedias or dictionaries go. Wikipedia is a good source for info, as is Theopedia (both online, just search for their names). Monergism.com is a wealth of info, almost anything a conservative Christian needs to know, he can find a link there. And then aomin.org and equip.org would help with info on cults and other religions, etc. Hope that helps. Blessings in Christ, Bob K. Noble,

I agree he twists facts and looks for the devil in the closet on many of his "expose"s. But his work is a step up from a lack of virtually any scholarship, and so I am glad of that. I think his stuff does a lot of harm. But for some, it is the beginning of an adventure away from hyper fundamentalism. I knew that sentence of mine should have been qualified more. Sorry! God bless, Bob Ryan,

He puts on the appearance of being factual. But he effectivelyl does is read peoples' books so that he can find something to take out of context and twist to fit his pre-conceived ideas.

But he does try to be factual. I appreciate his works. And you are right that "For the Love of the Bible" can actually educate people on the fact that KJV onlyism is not overly simple. At one time I tried using that book to bolster my beliefs but now I just see it as giving example after example of people who were not KJV only in nearly the same degree or sense that I was at one time. I also agree that reformation is not something we can easily call everyone too. But growth and incremental steps are often the best we can do. Thanks for commenting, now to get to that 2nd part... Bob John,

Your last sentence is so true. I have been reading through Jacob's life story in Genesis recently, and how can you not be amazed at God's sovereign election through his life story? I remember at one time labelling myself a 1 and 1/2 point Calvinist. The point I thought I held was point 5. Since coming to believe Calvinism I have discovered that I really misunderstood that point totally. Preservation and Perseverance are not the exact same thing! Ryan,
