Recent publications based on articles previously published in Scripture Truth
On 30 June 2021 Rebuilding Zion: An Exposition of the Books of the Exile we brought back into print a brand new edition of the classic book by F B Hole (1874-1964). In articles first published in Scripture Truth Volume 40 (1959-1961) he expounds the Old Testament books of the Exile: Daniel, Ezra, Nehemiah, Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi, considers their prophecies concerning Jesus Christ and God’s past and future plans for Israel, and forcefully presents the very relevant message they have for Christians today.
On 23rd May 2020 we published “Canaan Possessed: Studies in Ephesians and Joshua"” by John Blackburn, who was editor of Scripture Truth from 1962-1979 and co-editor from 1980-1984. It contains his series "Studies in Ephesians" from Volume 41 (1964) and Volume 45 (1976) and "Bible Study: The Book of Joshua" from Volume 47 (1980) - Volume 50 (1989). A Kindle edition is also available.
On 1st August 2017 we published a revised edition of “The Holy Spirit of God and The Great Adversary” by Algernon J Pollock, edited by John Rice. Part 1, on the Holy Spirit, is an elaboration of a series of articles which first appeared in 1929 in Scripture Truth. A Kindle edition is also available.
In keeping with a long tradition of publishing complete series of articles in book form, in August 2014 we re-published "Remembering my Creator since my youth" by David Anderson, first published as a series entitled "Creation" in Scripture Truth magazine between July 2009 and March 2014.

In February 2011 we re-published "Waiting for the Coming" (available as a Google Play e-book) by J T Mawson, the founding editor of Scripture Truth magazine, first published in 1936, which is primarily a revision and reprint of a series entitled "The Coming Again of the Lord Jesus" in Scripture Truth magazine, Volume 25, 1933 and the article "He that shall come, will come" in Volume 26, 1934, together with some additional material.
During 2008 we re-printed in paperback "Short Papers on the Church" (available as a Google Play e-book) by Hamilton Smith, first published in book form in 1925, based on a series of articles which appeared in "Scripture Truth" in 1922.

Scripture Truth Magazine
"Scripture Truth" has been published since 1909, when, under the editorship of J T Mawson and H D R Jameson, articles were scrutinised by a committee of responsible men amongst the Brethren: H J Vine, J T Mawson, H P Barker, F B Hole, H R Jameson, Mr Huntley, J Murray, Capt J W Smith, Hamilton Smith, Mr Bell, R Dunn, Robert Whyte and Walter Westcott. Indeed, much of the content of the early issues was written by them. In more recent years the magazine has been edited, solely or as part of an editorial board, by John Blackburn, Theo Balderston, Colin Curry, Bos Menzies Jeffrey Brett and Gordon Hughes.
