Biographical Series

Here are the books that deal with Biographical Series that are written for the undergraduate level. They are available from Amazon (see more information under each book for direct links).

1. The Life of Jesus Christ. Updated and Revised Edition. Toronto, Ont.: Electronic Christian Media, 2016. James M. Stalker Edited and Updated by David E. Graves.

    Through the years there have been many biographies of Christ published but none has endured in popularity and demand as this work. It was first published in 1884, and translated into many foreign languages, but now for the first-time it is updated and revised, leaving the majority of the original material intact. It is easy to see why this work has seen continued success.  The details of Christ’s life are presented in a vibrant and cohesive style that brings alive the life of Christ. Stalker, a noted Scottish theologian, has carefully crafted a doctrinally sound and accurate masterpiece on the life of Jesus Christ that will long outlast the modern attempts at portraying his life.
     The language and format were updated for modern readers, and the English Standard Version (ESV) has been used for a modern translation of scripture. Maps and timelines have been added to provide the most recent scholarly research. An updated bibliography and index of subjects is also provided to assist the user in accessing the material. 
     The chapters include: The Birth, Infancy, and Youth of Jesus; The Nation and the Time; The Final Stages of His Preparation; The Year of Obscurity; The Year of Public Favor; The Year of Opposition; The End; and Hints for Teachers and Questions for Pupils.

A suitable resource intended for laypeople who want to know more about Jesus Christ, whether in seminary courses, college classrooms, homeschooling (grade 8 and up), church groups or personal study.

“Mr. Stalker gives a masterly miniature and thousands will see more of Jesus in it than in the life-sized portraits.” — Charles H. Spurgeon, “Prince of Preachers.”

“It is remarkable for its originality of method, clearness of style, comprehensiveness of view, and suggestiveness of matter.”— William M. Taylor, D.D. 

6X9 format, 147 Pages. ISBN: 978-0994806062. 

Available from Amazon; AbeBooks; Alibris; Barnes & Nobles; Blackwell; Biblio; and Book Depository.

The Life of Saint Paul. Updated and Revised Edition. Toronto, Ont.:  Electronic Christian Media, 2016. James M. Stalker Edited and Updated by David E. Graves.

    This updated and revised edition of Stalker’s classic work, first published in 1884,  has left the majority of the original material intact. The language and format was updated for modern readers, and the English Standard Version (ESV) has been used for a modern translation of scripture. Maps and timelines have been added to provide the most recent scholarly research. An updated bibliography and index of subjects is also provided to assist the user in accessing the material. Includes a new “Chronology of Paul's Life” by Graves in Appendix A.

“Mr. Stalker gives a masterly miniature and thousands will see more of Paul in it than in the life-sized portraits.”  — Charles H. Spurgeon, “Prince of Preachers.”

“It is the best brief life of Paul of which I know.” — Wilbert W. White, D.D.

“It is remarkable for its originality of method, clearness of style, comprehensiveness of view and suggestiveness of matter.” — William M. Taylor, D.D.

"Should be in the hands of every student of Paul; it is brief, clear, and concise; it traces the growth of Paul’s gospel, and reveals the mind and heart of the great Apostle to the Gentiles.”  — Arthur G. Leacock.

“Dr. Stalker writes clearly because he sees clearly. . . . His book is a miracle of condensation, a miniature masterpiece.” — George Jackson, PhD.

6X9 format, 135 Pages. ISBN: 978-0994806055
