Can someone suggest a book(s) re: the origins of the invitation system?
mm.
Murray's 44 pager going fore $34.00 and Bennett's going for $164. A tad too much for too little and a lot too much for the other.
Thanks though.
The Invitation System by Murray, Iain H.
The Altar Call: The Origins and Present Usage by David Bennett
Amazon blurb for the latter:
The Altar Call is a thorough examination of the public invitation practice within Christian evangelism. In addition to giving a comprehensive historical background that spans three continents, The Altar Call also poses the following question: If John Wesley, George Whitefield , and Jonathan Edwards are regarded as the great figures of modern evangelicalism, why did none of these important leaders practice the invitation system that became so important in so many later evangelical groups? This important study will be of interest to both religious scholars and lay people, who are curious about the antecedents, development, and current use of the altar call.

Probably simple enough Q[s] for any Logos Master: What corpus of resources does Power Lookup [PL] display (and method and extent of enlarging it)? So, Google AI suggests "choose Power Lookup to see definitions from your dictionaries or references to that text." And a Logos article is similarly suggestive of a broad search…
The emails I get for new forum messages often have no content except the poster's subject. This seems to be a new phenomenon. Is this intentional? And while we're talking about the forum, to post a message requires me to choose certain things, such as platform, that do not apply.
Overnight I was charged for the updates to the Master Journal Library and Galaxie’s Theological Journal Library, vols. 1–28. The MJL downloaded the new resources, but nothing came down from Galaxie; it was supposed to be the list below. Did anyone get these, meaning my system needs a jolt to get the downloads going, or was…
