EVANGELICALS AND ROME (D.W. CLOUD) This 395-page volume traces the amazing history of the evangelical world's journey to Rome. Nothing more plainly demonstrates the ongoing fulfillment of prophecies pertaining to end-time apostasy and the formation of a world-world harlot "church." The Introduction documents the history and apostasy of Evangelicalism since the 1940s. Part 1 answers the question "Is the Roman Catholic Church Changing?" It includes a study from official Vatican II documents as well as from the New Catholic Catechism proving that the RCC has not changed its heretical position on such things as the mass, the papacy, Mary, purgatory, the priesthood, prayers to the dead, and the sacraments. The author also shows that Vatican II and the New Catechism affirm the blasphemous declarations of the Council of Trent. Part II covers "Billy Graham and Rome," documenting Billy Graham's relationship with the Roman Catholic Church from 1950 to present. Part III covers "Other Influential Evangelical Leaders and Organizations and Rome," documenting popular evangelical leaders and organizations, including Campus Crusade, Christian Research Institute, James Dobson, Chuck Colson, Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship, D. James Kennedy, J.I. Packer, Luis Palau, John R. Stott, Youth for Christ. Part IV deals with "The Southern Baptist Convention and Rome." Part V deals with "The Charismatics and Rome." Dozens of influential Charismatic leaders and organizations are documented. Part VI deals with "Promise Keepers and Rome." Part VII deals with "Contemporary Christian Music and Rome." Part VIII deals with the subject of "Evangelical Catholics." This section looks at the phenomenon of so-called evangelical Catholicism and charismatic Catholics. The book "Evangelical Catholics" by Keith Fournier (foreword by Chuck Colson) is reviewed and refuted from Scripture. Part IX looks at the many ways "Rome Denies Salvation by Grace Alone." Part X deals with the recent agreement between "Lutherans and Catholics on the Doctrine of Salvation by Grace." Part XI looks at Evangelicals and Catholics Together II. Part XII answers the question "Was Mother Teresa a True Christian?" Did she teach the people under her care the true Gospel? This study contains an interview with a nun who works with Mother Teresa's Sisters of Charity. Read this amazing interview and learn what this Calcutta-trained nun does to prepare Hindus for death. Part XIII examines the charge that we donât understand the Catholic Church. 395 pages, 5X8, perfect bound.

IN PURSUIT OF PURITY: AMERICAN FUNDAMENTALISM SINCE 1850 by David O. Beale. This volume is one of the most extensive histories available written by a fundamental Baptist. Most of the books which attempt to give this history are written by Evangelicals who do not understand a genuine zeal for the truth and which focus, rather, on the foibles of men. One of the chapters is titled "The Challenge of Broad Evangelicalism." 457 pages. (Order from Bob Jones University Press, Greenville, SC 29614. Phone 800-845-5731.)

NEW NEUTRALISM II: EXPOSING THE GREY OF COMPROMISE by John Ashbrook. This 1992 book is a sequel to one first published in 1958 (and frequently revised since) by the author's father, William Ashbrook, titled Evangelicalism: The New Neutralism. Both books contain a wealth of information about the phenomenon of New Evangelicalism, and we feel that New Neutralism II is one of the very best books ever written on this subject. Ashbrook gives a clear definition of New Evangelicalism and traces its historical influence. In particular he deals with such institutions and men as Harold Ockenga, Billy Graham, Fuller Seminary, the National Association of Evangelicals, Campus Crusade, Moody Bible Institute, BIOLA college, John Stott, John MacArthur, Luis Palau, E.V. Hill, Charles Colson, Charles Stanley, Charles Swindoll, Bill Hybels, Bill Gothard, Warren Wiersbe, and Jerry Falwell. This book contains a helpful index.
