Edward A. Donnelly

Excellent study on the doctrines of heaven and hell from author Edward Donnelly. Knowing the biblical teaching on hell is vital simply because of the sheer weight of biblical testimony, but also because of the reality of the doctrine, and the pervasive unbelief in a literal hell today. Hell reminds us of our littleness, the awfulness of sin, and brings us face to face with the overwhelming presence of God (14). Hell blows back the fog of our own man-centeredness (9).

The first two chapters alone are worth the price of the book. Donnelly avoids hypothetical conjecture and remains firmly tied to the biblical texts. He gives an expansive view of heaven and hell in the relatively short space of about 125 pages.… (mais)

Ted Donnelly's handling of biblical teaching is always marked by faithfulness, insight, wisdom and warmth. All of these qualities abound in this splendid exposition of Simon Peter's life and ministry. It provides the rare combination of helpful, and at times, searching, instruction with the genuine Christian pleasure of discovering more about the grace of Jesus Christ.-- Sinclair B. FergusonIn his consideration of Peter the Disciple, Ted Donnelly helps us to see the omnipotent and manifold grace of God at work, fashioning the rough-hewn Galilean fisherman into a polished instrument in the hands of the Master. In the contemplation of Peter the Preacher we are helped to see those principles which validate and illustrate the centrality of preaching in the purpose of God, and to consider the kind of preaching owned of God to the accomplishment of his saving purposes. Finally, in the examination of the biblical witness to Peter the Pastor we are led to consider what is involved in being a shepherd after God's own heart.-- Albert N.
