32 Sincerity Meets Truth, Pederson, J. $9.95 $8.95
With a style like that of John Bunyan in Pilgrim's Progress, The Rev. John K. Pedersen has beautifully written a short story about the battle for Truth in the preaching of the Gospel. The setting is the town of Evangelical Religion, where a form of godliness called Kinder, Gentler, Calvinism reigns supreme at Kindlove Reformed Church. The story centers upon the preaching of a visiting minister named Pastor Faith Not-his-own, whose teaching solicits a response of hatred from many in the congregation, though some are brought to a saving awareness from the same message. A gentleman named Sincerity is challenged in his own soul by what he has heard, but what will the result of this confrontation with the Truth bring to the life of this troubled man? The apparent peace and unity which comfortably existed in this church is now shaken, and it's minister, Pastor Nuance Greytone (whose carefully crafted Paradise had been challenged) is left with a church never to be the same because of the Truth. Sincerity Meets the Truth is a powerful apology for the Reformed Faith, understood not as a separate and distinct doctrine of the enlightened few or an addition to the "core teachings" of Christianity, but as the very Gospel of Scripture.
