Concordance to the Ndebele Bible

by Ken Green

WHITE HOUSE, Tenn. (BNc) – I have before me the Concordance to the Ndebele Bible, written by Foy Short, long-time missionary to Zimbabwe. The Ndebele language is spoken by people in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana.

Short, who recently turned 90, is the compiler and principle editor of the concordance, which he has been working on for the past ten years. He was quick to point out that it would not have been possible without those who financially supported the effort and those who assisted with the typesetting, editing, proofing, and suggestions of words that should be included. Short’s son Harold expedited the work tremendously with his computer programing expertise, and several others played essential roles. But without Short seeing the need and setting out to do something about it, it most certainly would not have happened. Read more

ETSPM launches quarterly biblical magazine, ‘The Journal’

by Jody Apple

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (BNc) – In recent years East Tennessee School of Preaching and Missions (ETSPM) published a small booklet-sized magazine called Journey. Though we’ve received positive comments about it, the most common remark we’ve heard has been, “What happened to Journey?” Alas, it was never published regularly.

That problem has been corrected and a “new and improved” quarterly, “The Journal of ETSPM,” now takes its place. The Fall 2010 (Sept.) issue is heading to both our USPS and email lists.

This issue focuses on “The Restoration Plea” and contains the following articles: Read more

Deceiving Winds helps church navigate

Book review by Matthew K. Clifton

Paul’s letter to the Ephesians has been a special area of interest for me in my studies, so when I got the opportunity to review a new book focusing on the biblical and historical information we have regarding the church at Ephesus, I jumped at the chance. I was not disappointed.

In Deceiving Winds, Bruce Morton has assembled a wonderful study not only on the textual information found in the New Testament, but also on the social, historical and archaeological background that brings depth to the picture of ancient Ephesus. In a world where the church is constantly dogged by temptations to digress doctrinally and “go along to get along,” we should well heed the warning and example found in the scriptures regarding the church at Ephesus. By so doing, the church in present times can navigate these dangerous waters and remain pleasing to the Lord. Read more
