Author Description

Roy E. Cogdill is eminently fitted for the task of producing such a work asthis. For nearly thirty-five years he has been a preacher of the gospel andalmost from the start has been regarded as one of the ablest teachers in thechurch. He has held gospel meetings in every part of the nation, as well ashaving spent prolonged periods in evangelism in Canada. He knows theproblems that churches face; he knows the teaching of God's word which dealswith those problems, and he knows how to apply the one to the other. Such hehas done in Walking by Faith.When controversy and differences are on every hand and when the peaceof God's people is jeopardized, it is highly proper that such a class book asWalking by Faith be placed in the hands of every child of God. Churches maywisely conduct earnest and careful studies of controverted points, sifting truthfrom error, striving constantly to bring forth the exact teaching of God's wordon all matters of difference. The two fundamental concepts which Christianshave always held - the absolute authority of the word and the firm convictionthat the word can be understood - make it forever impossible that God'speople shall divide over any point of Bible teaching. For when any differencearises among them, they immediately resort to the Bible with the query, "Whatsaith the Scriptures?" And they continue their study until there is unity ofunderstanding as to Bible teaching. Once that unity is reached, the matter issettled.
