New Title from Free Presbyterian Publications
Very few books have been published on the transfiguration of Christ. One exception was the small work by Jonathan Ranken Anderson, entitled The Transfiguration, first published in 1859. It has now been reprinted for the first time, by Free Presbyterian Publications (paperback, 122 pages, £6.50) and contains a biographical introduction by Mr Roy Middleton. This fine book may be obtained from the Free Presbyterian Bookroom.
Anderson was a minister in Glasgow whose preaching was much blessed, particularly in the 1830s. Rev Neil Cameron said that he “was a theologian of much eminence. He was both profound and accurate in his expositions of the doctrines of the Word of God; he was deeply taught of the Holy Spirit.”
Home Mission Fund
By appointment of Synod, this year’s special collection on behalf of the Home Mission Fund, is due to be taken in congregations during May.
W Campbell, General Treasurer
