THE TRINITY : EVIDENCE AND ISSUES
"Almost 600 pages in length, this book is the most detailed exegetical work on the Trinity ever written by an evangelical scholar. It begins with a discussion of epistemology and hermeneutics and then proceeds to deal with all the Trinitarian passages found in the Old and New Testaments, the intertestamental period Jewish literature and the writings of the early Church. It concludes with a detailed refutation of all the arguments given by anti-Trinitarians."
- Dr. John Ankerberg and Dr. John Weldon
"Dr. Robert Morey’s new book, The Trinity: Evidences and Issues, is simply excellent. It will undoubtedly become the standard reference work on the subject for years to come.
This book not only offers indisputable biblical proof of the historic Christian doctrine of the Trinity, carefully evaluating the Greek and Hebrew texts, it evaluates a very large number of associated issues relating to historical theology, contemporary culture, denials of the Trinity and apologetics generally.
Among these topics are Arianism, feminism, liberal theology and the Jesus Seminar, humanism, Mormonism, contemporary philosophy, the intertestamental period, Islam, modalism, Jewish views, Unitarianism, Oneness Pentecostalism, and much more.
We wish to give our highest recommendation to this book and to congratulate both the publisher and Dr. Morey for making it available to the larger Christian public. We pray it will have a major ongoing ministry to the layman and scholar alike. If you purchase only one book on the Trinity, this must be it."
DEATH AND THE AFTERLIFE
"Nominated as “1985 Book of the Year” by Cornerstone and chosen as “Best Reading of 1985” by Biblical Evangelist, this book quickly made it on several “Best Seller” lists. It has been featured on the John Ankerberg Show and many other radio/TV ministries. It is used in many seminaries such as Trinity Evangelical, Dallas, Southwestern, Conservative Baptist, Reformed, Gordon-Conwell, Moody Bible Institute, etc."
- Dr. Roger Nicole (Reformed Seminary)
"Dr. Morey’s work provides an extensive examination of the biblical language related to human destiny beyond the grave. The lucid style and the very careful organization of the material make the work readily understandable to lay people as well as useful for pastors and other scholars."
- Dr. Vernon Grounds (Conservative Baptist Seminary)
"Since the earliest years of Christianity, the doctrine of eternal punishment has been fiercely attacked. Today that attack continues. Conditionalism and universalism are widely accepted as being biblically, logically and ethically far more acceptable than traditional theology. But Dr. Morey here presents a persuasive case with which anyone who seeks to malign or weaken the historical doctrine must reckon."
- Dr. Jay Adams (Westminster Theological Seminary)
"Here is a book to buy. It has been some time since a notable work on the future state of man after death has appeared. Morey’s book admirably fills this gap. In addition to the Biblical data, as a plus, Morey includes a wealth of intertestamental and patristic resources."
- Dr. Gary R. Habermas (Liberty University)
"This volume generally exhibits a high degree of scholarship. One is repeatedly impressed by the amount of background material and research that had to be done in order to interact properly with the individual topics in Part I. This volume by Morey is a well-researched treatise on the biblical data concerning death and the afterlife. The topic of death and the afterlife is always a popular one. Accordingly, I recommend this book as a textbook for courses on cults or eschatology, whether for group studies or for personal reading. Much noteworthy data is supplied which needs to be studied and digested."
- Christian Scholar’s Review
"Morey’s book is the most comprehensive biblical study on the doctrine of death and the afterlife to appear in the last half century. He is a first-rate exegete whose command of the Hebrew and Greek languages is apparent in every chapter. He also displays a vast familiarity with the Apocrypha, Pseudepigrapha, Patristic material, Talmud, Midrash, Philo and Josephus. The author’s careful scholarship and his attention to details make this volume a valuable contribution to the study of personal eschatology. Death and the Afterlife is a stimulating work worth reading."
- Dr. Walter R. Martin (Christian Research Institute)
"The first major work on the subject in this century, Death and the Afterlife will for many years be a standard reference work in this sorely neglected field. The scholarship of this volume will impress those who have studied the subject with any degree of thoroughness. At the same time, he communicates many great and profound truths in language that the average layman will both appreciate and profit from. It is a clear, cool breath of fresh air in the midst of a vacuum of doubt and unbelief."
- John Ankerberg
"A group of men have asked me to pick out what I consider to be the most important book on the market that Christians should read. The book I have chosen is Dr. Robert A. Morey’s book, Death and the Afterlife. This is a landmark book that presents overwhelming proof for the biblical doctrine concerning death and the afterlife."
- The Biblical Evangelist
"The jacket of this remarkable volume calls it “a landmark work.” We are willing to go even further and describe it as “a masterpiece!” This book is especially devastating to the cultists and all those who teach soul sleep, annihilation and universalism. We urge every preacher and every Bible student to obtain a copy without delay!”
- Cornerstone
"The dust jacket carries high recommendations by Walter Martin, Vernon Grounds and Roger Nicole- reason enough for this volume to be given careful scrutiny by evangelical readers. All the more so when they discover that the book sets forth a long overdue and solidly biblical exposition of the doctrine of eternal punishment. Dr. Morey-pastor, teacher and author of a dozen scholarly works- has proven himself equal to the considerable task of researching, exegeting and contending for with irrefutable logic and clarity the twin doctrines of irrevocable judgment and eternal damnation of unrepentant sinners. In the process, he has convincingly refuted such nonscriptural errors as reincarnation, materialism and occultism. Dr. Morey has assembled a wealth of information from a wide variety of scholarly sources."
