This is the type of book that reveals more "new" thoughts I hadn't seen before, each time I read it. I have been assisted in understanding multiple aspects about the Holy Spirit by using this book along with the scriptures. There are so many scriptures cited that I can check the thoughts presented and how they correlate with the Bible. I was introduced in this book to the simple concept that atonement is also at-one-ment with God. This is the best book for an understanding of what the Holy Spirit is, how it operates, and how one knows if they have it.

This may be one of the most exhaustive expositions available on the Scriptures that illustrate the natures of God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, Man and the nature of Death. Frequently a subject is approached with complete lists of all scriptures bearing on a topic. No better in-depth analysis of the Atonement work of our Lord (called the Ransom) can be found anywhere.

This is the fifth volume in a series of six. After reading this book and carefully examining the scriptures in it, I have finally gained a clear, detailed and harmonious explanation of the relationship between God and His son, Jesus Christ, as well as the Holy Spirit, which is often unfortunately described as a "mystery" in the Christian world today.

I have also gained a better insight into the purpose of Jesus' life, death and resurrection. It is generally understood by Christians that Jesus died for the sin of the world. This book explains, however, the logisitics of why and how his death can provide salvation and remove the sin of the world - because Jesus' sinless life satisfied God's justice in providing a substitute or "ransom" for Adam (father of the human race), who sinned and caused his posterity to also be born in sin (1 Timothy 2:5,6).

One must read and study the scriptures in this book with an open mind as it challenges the creeds of Christianity that have been held for over 1,500 years.

This volume is amazing. When I first read it, I couldn't put it down. It explains the philosophy of the ransom in such a clear and concise way, one wonders why so many theologians today complicate it with their convoluted reasoning. The chapter titled "A ransom for All" is excellent and is worth the book alone!

This series of books written by Charles Taz Russell are well written using the Bible Scriptures to inform the individual of the importance of the Bible in the past and most of all today.

Many may not know that Mr. Russell's orginization of Bible Students evolved into what are today known as "Jehovah's Witnesses."

I have enjoyed reading his books and hope you will too. I hope that you will invite the Witnesses into your home next time they knock on your door.

Thanks Mr. Russell. And most of all thanks Jehovah for bringing these books into our homes.
