A Fleece of Gold
by Charles Stewart GivenThe fable of Jason and the Golden Fleece is known to old and young the world around.

But especially to the boy or young man of thoughtful mind does the glorious adventure appeal and make its l..

Commentary on the Epistle to the Galatians
by Martin LutherThe preparation of this edition of Luther's Commentary on Galatians was first suggested to me by Mr. P. J. Zondervan, of the firm of publishers, in March, 1937. The consultation had the twofold merit of definiteness and brevity. The demonstration seemed to prove convincing for it was agreed that one may as well offer Luther in the original Ge..

Christian Marriage Indissoluble - A Plain Sermon

It is simply what I have called it, “a plain Sermon,” written and printed for ordinary hearers and readers.God Himself deals with this whole question. ..
The Kashf al-mahjúb - The oldest Persian treatise on Súfiism
by HujviriThis translation of the most ancient and celebrated Persian treatise on Ṣúfiism will, I hope, be found useful not only by the small number of students familiar with the subject at first hand, but also by many readers who, without being Orientalists themselves, are interested in the general history of mysticism and may wish to compare or contrast th..
