“Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.”

The reader is invited to examine it critically, with the Bible at his right hand, without which nothing can or ought to be determined in relation to God's truth. We believe this series to help the reader in their search for Truth."

WWW: http://www.antipas.org/books/key_to_scriptures/kts_toc.htmlThe Truth About God And The Bible
"No subject comes near this in the immensity of the issues involved. The conclusion we may come to is very practical in its influence, whether we consider the principles on which we regulate our present lives, or the hopes and cravings with which we instinctively contemplate the limitless future of time. Other themes exhaust themselves in the short life we now live, beginning in the feebleness of the cradle and ending in the decay of all our powers, and our inevitable disappearance in the silence and oblivion of the grave. This goes forward and links itself with the universe and the everlasting.

Brethren in Christ
This book explores the question has often been asked, "Were there believers of the Truth during the Middle Ages when the power and influence of the Roman Church prevailed throughout the world of Christendom?
Author: Alan Eyre
WWW: http://www.antipas.org/books/brethren_in_christ/binc_toc.htmlThe Protesters
"Today the Christadelphian community --"Brothers in Christ" -- is the inheritor of a noble tradition, by which elements of the Truth were from century to century hammered out on the anvil of controversy, affliction and even anguish. These pages may help us to appreciate a Bible doctrine that God does not establish truth by the counting of heads, but by the trying of hearts, and also to understand why we as Christadelphians today resist the outstretched hands of broad oecumenical unity, and consider as traitors any among us who sell their birthright for this cause."

Questions and Answers
Christendom Astray from the Bible
"THAT CHRISTENDOM is astray from the system of doctrine and practice established by the labours of the apostles in the first century, is recognised by men of very different ways of thinking. The unbeliever asserts it without fear. The church partisan admits it without shame, and all sorts of middle men are of opinion that it would be a misfortune were it otherwise. The unbeliever, while himself rejoicing in the fact, uses it as a reproach to those who profess to follow the apostles whom he openly rejects, the churchman, while owning the apostles as the foundation, regards it as the inevitable result of the spiritual prerogative vested in "the church," that there should be further unfoldings of light and truth leading away from the primitive form of things; and the moderate and indifferent class accept it as a necessary and welcome result of the advance of the times, with which they think the original apostolic institution has become inconsistent."

There "are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction." (2 Peter 3:16). As believers in the Holy Bible as the inspired Word of God it becomes our duty to search out the scriptures (Acts 17:11) and "try the spirits" (1 John 4:1), to preach the truth and defend the faith (Jude 3).

Sacrifice of Christ
Blood of Christ: It's Place in the Divine Scheme of Reconciliation or Atonement, as originally promulgated by the Apostles in the First Century.
"There is no operation of Divine wisdom that has been so completely misapprehended and misrepresented as the shedding of the blood of Christ. Popular preaching brings it down to a level with the sacrifices of idolatrous superstition, by which wrathful deities are supposed to be placated by the blood of a substitutionary victim. Christ is represented as having paid our debts -- as having died instead of us -- as having stood in our room like a substitute in military service, or like a man rushing to the scaffold where a criminal is about to be executed, and offering to die instead of him (a favourite illustration in the evangelical pulpit)..."
