Page 5 of this issue is the same page which appeared on the back of the issue of Christian News which included the address the editor presented to the 13th Congress of the International Council of Churches which met at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver. Copies were taken home by delegates who came from many nations and church bodies around the world. It included the editor’s essay on 1) The Crisis in Christendom, 2) Why a Twentieth Century Formula of Concord, and 3) a Twenty-First Century Formula of Concord. When the ICCC met in Geneva, Switzerland in 1965, the convention organizers placed a copy of the editor’s Baal or God in the registration packet of each delegates. This helped spread Christian News around the world and in many denominations. Note on page 5 what reviewers from various denominations said about Baal or God.
The editor has been working on an updated edition of Baal or God. It will again in simple terms present the scriptural position on the basic Christian doctrines but history and truth show what has been going on in Christendom since Baal or God was first published.
When the 350 page paperback Baal or God was first published CN sold boxes of 100 copies for $25.00. This helped lead to widespread distribution. At the beginning of the Twentieth Century two wealthy laymen made it possible to send a series of some ten books known as The Fundamentals to every pastor and congregation in America. If Christian News similarly received a large sum of money, it would send an inexpensive update of Baal or God to every congregation in the U.S. The book will show that in every major denomination in the U.S. today there are theologians who deny the fundamentals of the Christian faith. It will contain the kind of material about the Papacy which appeared in the October 16, 2010 Christian News. It will document the fact that Christendom today needs a Reformation more than it did 500 years ago.
It will spread the Word about how any computer literate person can have access to all the material CN has published during the last 48 years in almost 2,250 issues.
It will help true Christian missions around the world by showing how universalism has thoroughly infiltrated every major denominations and destroyed true Christian mission work. Then it will present a solid scriptural defense of historic Christianity. It will show that the evolutionary and higher critical views of the Bible promoted in all major denominations are contrary to the Bible and the best scientific and archaeological evidence. It will show why all of Christendom needs a Reformation today far more than it did some 500 years ago when Luther nailed his 95 theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany on October 31, 1517.
