Sales First Half of 2019

Four of the six books are still selling. I recently sold several Great Ejection books too.

Appendices

In five of the six books I have published there have been appendices. These are short essays that contribute to the subject but that are a little outside the immediate orbit. The appendices are as follows

1. Historical Exposition of the Song of Songs (Heavenly Love)

2. Regeneration under the Law of Moses (What the Bible teaches about being born again)

3. Sample historic confessions or creeds that support a monergistic view of regeneration (What the Bible teaches about being born again)

4. Early heresies and kenotic theories (What Jesus is doing now)

5. Understanding the Lord's Supper (What Jesus is doing now)

6. John 16:26-27 (What Jesus is doing now)

7. Intercession of the saints (What Jesus is doing now)

8. For whom does Jesus intercede? (What Jesus is doing now)

9. An untitled appendix listing the ejected ministers by area, based on Colman and Matthews (1662 The Great Ejection)

10. A list of legitimate illustrations used to describe conscience and its workings (Candle in the Wind)

11.The argument for God from conscience (Candle in the Wind)

12. A brief history of Christian thought with regard to conscience and casuistry (Candle in the Wind)

Festschrift Errata

When I put together the biographical piece for the festschrift The Holy Spirit and Reformed Spirituality it was not possible to consult with Geoff directly and so a number of minor errors crept in. To date I am aware of five of these.

1. At one point I say that he did "university level study in Biblical studies with Greek and philosophy at the nearby Baptist College in Cardiff". These studies were in fact at Cardiff University.

2. There is a reference to "his mother's uncle, Oliver Bound" that should be "Oliver Bown".

3. I also messed up on some dates. His last grandchild Osian was born in 2007 (not 2008)

4. His father's dates should be Harry Eastaway Thomas (1904-1978)

5. His mother's dates should be Elizabeth Francis (1906-1994)

Another Book To Which I Contributed

I also contributed a biographical intro to a festschrift for my father-in-law Geoff Thomas some years ago. For some reason I don't think I've mentioned that here.
