REVIEW
THE OLD MAN DIED (AND HE'S DEAD!)
I am most appreciative of the fundamental concepts that are espoused in The Old Man Died. Smith, Murray and Gibson—referred to in the book—are three of the few authors who have been prepared to state the biblical position—or anything remotely near it—and this is a most refreshing read.
Likewise, Dr Swincer certainly has the ability to “think laterally” in regard to biblical doctrines. There has been an “habitual response” to the concepts of the “sin nature”, and the “flesh” that as Dr Swincer explains, have become ingrained in the theological mind-set.
The broad use of Scripture and its exegetical application is masterly.
In addition to the insightful correctives, Dr Swincer shows a truly pastoral heart in seeking to help people at large in the Christian community, who continually struggle in the area that can only be described as “habitual sin”.
Thank you.
