Reviews
A publication of a written discussion between Whiteside and Clark on whether churches may have Bible classes, or Sunday schools, with Whiteside in the affirmative and Clark in the negative.
The discussion certainly covers both sides of the discussion and shows the basic premise of each. The reviewer agrees with Whiteside and believes that Whiteside laid out his case well; nevertheless, one can see the basis of contention and the concerns presented on both sides.
A worthwhile book to have on show more the issue. show less

A compendium of articles and treatises by the author on all types of subjects-- the work of the Holy Spirit, the role of faith, discussions of various trends, Bible passages, and language used, and similar matters.
Whiteside demonstrates on the whole that he is a good, careful, and conscientious Bible student. One will no doubt take issue with some of his claims and conclusions and may find him dogmatic at times, but there is great value in considering Whiteside's perspective on many passages show more and issues.
Well worth considering. show less

A very general and comparatively brief commentary on Romans, expanding on issues of note to the author, especially anything that could be compared to those promoting premillennialism in the author's day.
Some interesting interpretations and ways of understanding the text that are thought-provoking, at least. A lot also with which there is substantive ground for disagreement.

The book is a posthumous collection of Whiteside's questions and answers and articles that deal with matters of the Kingdom and eschatology. Most of the material is written as a response to Boll and his popularization, for a short time, of premillennialism within churches of Christ, and Whiteside, among others, stood opposed to that doctrine, and wrote regarding such matters in the Gospel Advocate and similar publications.
The material, therefore, is written with a view of refuting this show more doctrine and demonstrating what the prophets, Jesus, and the Apostles truly meant regarding the Kingdom. The author clearly exposes the fallacies of the premillennial position, sets out clearly how the church fulfills the prophecies of the Kingdom in the Old Testament, and presents a more Biblical view of how the end of the world shall come.
An important work to properly understand the nature of the Kingdom and the flaws in dispensational premillennialism. show less
