Book Description
First Presbyterian Church of Durham, North Carolina, was founded on New Year's Eve 1871 as the Durham Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. The congregation's first house of worship, a modest frame structure, stood on the site occupied by the present church. First Church, beginning in the late nineteenth century, established, funded, and staffed industrial missions near local textile and tobacco mills to become the "Mother Church" for three present day Presbyterian churches, and, recently, in association with other Presbyterian churches, to establish a Hispanic Presbyterian congregation. Abroad, First Church launched an ambitious foreign mission program and thereafter cared for refugees and embraced immigrants. First Presbyterian Church has been a welcoming church that has, through the circling years, endeavored to meet the challenge of adjusting to the contending forces of tradition and change as they have impacted and continue to impact worship, music, education, mission, and church government. This is the church's story.

Book Description
What does it mean to live the Christian life with conviction? Richard Lischer insists that Christians have a stake in the political and social conflicts that are dividing our culture. In whatever circumstance, Christians are obligated to tell the truth about what it means to be a follower of Jesus. In Just Tell the Truth, Lischer explores seasons of suffering, hope, and triumph in the light of the gospel. Drawing upon Scripture and the lives of both well-known and anonymous Christians, he helps his readers imagine what truthful living looks like. While remaining biblically and theologically rooted, the sermons eloquently engage the present moment, showing how Christian conviction has a place in the controversial realms of politics, racial justice, and the COVID-19 crisis. The nourishing meditations in Just Tell the Truth align the rhythm of the gospel with the curvature of human experience, empowering Christians to find the heart of God in what is too often a heartless world.

The Power to Comprehend with All the Saints brings pastor-theologians together to answer these and other key questions about the integrity of their vocation. These pastoral voices speak wisdom that will enrich both the academy and the church.

Book Description
Librarians, historians, researchers, students, and others interested in examining the literary production of Southern Presbyterian ministers and works written about them will find A Presbyterian Bibliography invaluable. A 4,187-entry listing of extant published writings of ministers ordained by or received into the Presbyterian Church in the United States in its first hundred years, 1861-1961, this bibliography lists works by and about PCUS ministers and gives locations of all editions found in eight significant theological collections in the U.S.A. Presbyterian seminary libraries are those of Austin, Columbia, Louisville, Princeton, Reformed, and Union (Virginia); included also are the libraries of the Historical Foundation of the Presbyterian and Reformed Churches and the Presbyterian Historical Society. An examination of this listing of published (i.e., printed) books, parts of books, pamphlets, and periodical article repreints shows that PCUS ministers became authors, editors, translators, poets, dramatists, composers, and essayists who wrote sermons, polemics, commentaries, Bible studies, theologies, histories, and letters to Presidents. Content notes and annotations for many books indicate individual minister contributions. A subject index, and indexes leading to every listing of a minister's name and to the main entries of the other presons gives access to the Bibliography.
