This series would be much more appealing if the books were included with the study guides for them. The study guides alone aren't nearly as helpful. I might have purchased, but as they are I'll definitely pass.

John MacArthur is a superb Bible teacher and theologian, but his other works on polemics and apologetics haven't appealed to me. This one is an exception. MacArthur does very well here in identifying the two greatest threats to the evangelical church -- experientialism and ecumenism. He goes into detail describing the origins of existential philosophy and how it crept into the church. He then shifts to ecumenism and explains how the Evangelicals and Catholics Together statement, endorsed and embraced by many prominent evangelical leaders, is fatally flawed. In doing so, he provides an excellent summary of the difference between Protestants and Catholics, and why the Reformation occurred. This book really needs to be back in print -- it addresses well the underlying concerns that are missed in the other "Charismatic" and "Strange Fire" titles. I recommend this one highly.

I'm disappointed there are no images. They really add to the articles.

I'd buy this series if it was reproducible for a small group. Unfortunately from what I'm reading here, it isn't.
