Put off by Christian jargon and pat answers? James Southern relates how he was put off during his initial contact with reborners, as he labelled those who claimed to be born again. He recounts his skepticism, his conversion, his Bible School years, his life in Israel, and his intermittent backsliding. Rash Promises incorporates these life experiences, often humorous, with a study of rash promises and rash conduct by scriptural characters. Failing to learn what not to say and what not to do hinders one’s spiritual progress. And renouncing rash vows frees a person to live more fully for the Lord.

Vows, oaths, and curses are all quite separate enterprises in the Bible, and especially in the Old Testament. Unfortunately, the writings of many modern scholars fail to indicate these distinctions. This well-argued book elucidates the distinctive nature of vow-making in the Old Testament milieu, setting it in proper relief against the background of other declaratory statements. The first chapter provides a general introduction to the subject and clarifies the often confused practices of oath-taking and vow making as commonly found in the Hebrew Bible. The remainder of the study refines and defends these distinctions, exploring similar means of assertion in the ancient Near East, and suggesting such theological and literary implications as may result.

This two-volume work under the title, Toward Conformity to the Image of Christ, was initially prepared for upper division college students preparing for some branch of ministry. Volume One is subtitled, A Biblical Pattern of Spiritual Formation. God's moral nature is the perfect pattern, the human personality is the place for the pattern, and the problem of sin shatters the pattern. Volume Two is subtitled, A Biblical Product of Spiritual Formation. It shows that Spiritual Formation is the product of both the work of the Holy Spirit and of individual believers to develop personal character that resembles that of Jesus. After answering a variety of questions and objections, then the product is put to use in living out the Christian life in day to day activities. College religion faculty, pastors, evangelists, Youth Ministers, Church musicians, Christian Education Specialists, etc. would be interested in the books.
