John Darby's Synopsis of the Books of the Bible (5 volumes)
How do we interpret biblical prophecy? What are the implications of the rapture? What is the relationship between the church on earth and God’s future kingdom? John Darby’s interpretation of Scripture in the Synopsis of the Books of the Bible constituted the first step in answering those questions. These volumes contain introductions—written by Darby himself—to each book of the Bible, along with overviews of important biblical themes, such as prophecy, revelation, and the Gospel. His interpretation of Scripture in the Synopsis of the Books of the Bible reflects and informs his dispensationalist teachings—teachings which later gave rise to fundamentalism and transformed the landscape of twentieth century Christianity.

Holiness to the Lord
Holiness to the Lord is a valuable guide for expositors interpreting the often challenging text of the Book of Leviticus. More than a discussion of sabbath regulations, Allen P. Ross's astute work steers a clear course through ancient Israel's maze of religious laws, reveals it as the theological foundation for Christ's gospel, and correlates it to New Testament teachings (especially Romans, Hebrews, and Peter). These useful expositions minimize the difficulty of the subject matter by presenting coherent explanations of the major themes and concepts in practical biblical messages about worship, sanctification, and obedience. The Book of Leviticus is allowed to speak for itself thanks to an effective blend of theological commentary and exegetical direction by Dr. Ross, thus meeting the needs of scholars as well as expositors.

A Harmony of the Life of St. Paul
This resource is a great handbook for students, ministers, Sunday school teachers, and laypersons. Frank Goodwin does for the life of Paul what a harmony of the Gospels does for the life of Christ. He endeavors to blend Luke’s account of the Acts of the Apostles with selections from the Pauline Epistles. Thus, Paul’s letters are treated as parallel or supplementary to Luke’s account. In harmonizing these writings, the intent is to treat only the biography of Paul; the dogmatic and ethical portions of his writings are generally omitted. Scriptural passages are accompanied by brief but copious notes and comments.
