RESOURCES The presentation
of our understanding on the various topics of Scripture may be different from
that of others who may be just as sincere in their undertaking. We encourage you to examine the material
presented and to measure it against Scripture for its true worth.
Though we differ in understanding from most
others, we are not the only ones who hold on to these convictions. Others, too, have been painstakingly and
lovingly presenting the truths of Scripture in their own quiet way, waiting
on God to present them to those whom He is now calling.
WEB LINKS Here are links to other
organisations that share in the belief that God is the Saviour of all
mankind. v

Unless otherwise stated, all scriptural quotations are as found in the
Concordant Literal New Testament (or Concordant Version, CV). The CV
is published by the Concordant Publishing Concern (CPC), located in Based on the revelation that this accurate
translation affords, the CPC has published a great number of texts (books,
booklets, pamphlets and expository writings) over a long period of time, all
of which have been catalysts in improving our understanding of
Scripture. It is quite impossible to
fully convey the sense of devotion, drive and diligence that have gone into
the work produced at the CPC. But it
leaves us no doubt about Who the inspiration behind it all is.
Below are some of the CPC titles available that
we would recommend to the serious student of Scripture. The accompanying summaries are taken from
the catalogue at the CPC
website. v "God's Eonian Purpose"
This work
is a thorough review of God’s plan and purpose, gathering together many of
the most basic themes of Scripture, including The Beginning of Creation, The
Eons and Administrations, Justification, The Conciliation, Completeness in
Christ, and The Goal of the Universe.
These and other vital subjects are presented in an interesting and
informative manner which will appeal to the sincere student of
Scripture for the strengthening of faith.
The book contains charts and illustrations which provide a welcome
visual supplement to the text. We
live in a day when few believers have a good grasp of the truth that God has
a purpose. Many reason that as long
as they themselves are saved, nothing else really matters. But to know Christ and to rejoice in the
glory of God is just as important. We
need to listen to His Word and receive the glorious revelations He has made
concerning His operations and goal if we are to possess real joy and
satisfying peace. v
"Death,
Resurrection, Immortality" This work
deals with the problem of death and God’s solution of resurrection and
immortality through the work of the Lord Jesus Christ. Writing during his final illness, the
author was not anticipating a passage into an intermediate state between
death and resurrection, but rather looking forward to the gift of life and
immortality provided by Christ’s victory.
The widely accepted teaching of the immortality of the soul, which
makes resurrection unnecessary and detracts from the value of our Lord’s
sacrifice, is shown to be unscriptural.
There are provided concordant studies of the words “soul” and
“spirit,” which are certain to be of much value to the reader who wants to
find scriptural truth on these subjects. v
"The
Gospel of our Salvation" This book
explores the various evangels (or gospels) of the Scripture, with a special
emphasis given to the message of God’s grace for believers today. These gospels are described
chronologically and include the gospel which God brought to Abraham, the
gospel Gabriel brought to Zechariah, the gospel an angel brought to the
shepherds, the gospel Timothy brought from the Thessalonians to Paul, the
gospel of the Circumcision, the gospel of the Uncircumcision (including the
“Mystery”), the gospel of the unsearchable riches of Christ, and the eonian
(“everlasting”) gospel of the book of Revelation.
v
"The
Mystery of the Gospel" or "The Secret of the Evangel"
Somehow
the very word “mystery” seems to shut the door of love in our faces instead
of opening portals for it. The word
“mystery” looms large and dark and shadowy.
It seems to defy understanding.
None but the wisest may even attempt the solution to a “mystery”! Not so with the mysteries in God’s Holy
Word. They are simply secrets. Once they were hidden and could not be
known. And yet, after God revealed
them, they were easily understood by all who had ears to hear. When the apostle Paul was held captive in v
"The
Problem of Evil and the Judgments of God"
This book
traces the divine function of evil (whatever is harmful or destructive) from
its inception to its consummation, by presenting scriptural solutions to the
various long-debated questions concerning God and His sovereignty. As one of its subjects, it probes and
takes issue with the commonly accepted explanation that Satan, and not God, is
responsible for evil. To quote the
book’s author: “Almost all of us are shortsighted. We see the judgments, but fail to recognize that they are only
part of God’s way with mankind, that they are definitely not an end. We confuse the going with the goal. Judgment is God’s strange work. He uses it as a preparation toward a
glorious consummation.” The message
in this book is especially valuable to us in these days of doubt and
distress, to lead men to rely on and rest in God alone.
v
"All
in All" This publication
is a compilation of the writings of A. E. Knoch on human destiny. The author examines three major theories
on this topic current among students of Scripture. The striking phrase “All in all,” which pertains to the
vivification of all mankind in 1 Corinthians v
"The
Outcome of Infinite Grace" “The last
enemy to be destroyed is death!” It
was this verse which caused the author, a pastor, to study afresh the subject
of the fate of the wicked. The three
choices apparent from a surface reading of various biblical texts were
eternal torment, extermination or ultimate reconciliation. The author studied to find which one was
true. This book is a result of that
study. Says the author, “If it proves
as satisfying to the reader as it has to the writer we shall have a delightful
time ‘rejoicing in hope of the glory of God.’” v
"The
Spiritual Gifts for Today" The
fourth chapter of Ephesians tells us what gifts are ours today. There are great changes. Most of the early gifts were dropped in
this adjustment. They are no longer needed. Two new ones were added and three are
carried over. It is worth every
effort to clarify the relation between the gifts in 1 Corinthians and those
in Ephesians. This work allows the
reader to overcome the difficulties involved in this task.
v
"Creation"
(An Unsearchable
Riches issue) God
created this world in which we live.
The heavens and the earth did not come about by themselves, nor did
they arise out of nothing. All is out
of God. Among these pages is the
explanation of the import of God’s creation of evil. Three fundamental lessons are that God is
active, evil has entered into God’s creation, and God gloriously disposes of
evil by the power of His spirit and His word. What is the purpose of the former, present, and future
creations? How do they serve for the
sake of God, Christ, Satan, and humanity?
These and other lessons are discussed in this issue of Unsearchable
Riches magazine. As we learn of
God’s plan, let us look forward to the glorious consummation of God’s
creation. In addition to these book titles, the CPC also
publishes its bimonthly magazine, Unsearchable Riches, each January,
March, May, July, September and November.
