The Church Age
Overview
In this little volume, Mr. Roy Gingrich has given us a concise treatment of “the church age,” an excellent survey of the Bible’s teaching on this subject. Mr. Gingrich has obviously spent much time and labor in preparation for the writing of this book. Much more has been written on “the church age” by other men, but I find that this book says all that needs to be said and says it in a concise way. It gives its readers an overall view of its subject without losing them in page after page of details. Therefore, I believe that this work would be an excellent addition to any and every Christian’s library.

Roy Gingrich was an American pastor and author best known for his comprehensive commentary series. He was born to Arthur and Arista Gingrich on February 3, 1920 in Ozark, Illinois, the youngest of four children. Roy received God’s call to enter the Christian ministry in 1941. After intensive preparation and pastoral stints in Illinois and Indiana, he became pastor of Faith Bible Church in Memphis, Tennessee, where he remained for over 40 years.
In 1963, Gingrich graduated cum laude from Victory University (formally Mid-South Bible College) and soon thereafter joined the teaching staff. Gingrich began writing conservative Bible commentaries in 1964. Roy Gingrich’s Commentaries in Outline Form (100 vols.) includes 60 different commentaries on the books of the Bible, and 40 additional commentaries on major Bible themes.
In 2001, Dr. Gingrich retired from a long and fruitful ministry, but continued to revise his commentaries and lecture at colleges and churches in the US. In 2003, he was inducted into the Crichton College Hall of Fame.
