About J.R. Graves
James Robinson Graves (1820–1893) was an American Baptist preacher and leader of Landmarkism—a mid-nineteenth-century movement marked by the belief in the exclusive validity of Baptist churches and the theory of Baptist succession since apostolic times. Graves remains one of the most colorful and controversial figures among the Southern Baptists. He was editor of the Baptist (or later the Tennessee Baptist), and author of numerous books including The Relation of Baptism to Salvation, The First Baptist Church in America, and The Seven Dispensations.

I have several of his books the most important of all is "The Parables and Prophecies of Christ explained"(still available in print) I also have several of his books in Kindle format. I prefer writers of the late 19th century. I find Graves to be very knowledgeable but very down to earth in his writings and quiet Biblical in his doctrine. Any resource by him is worth having.

Soooo why not put those three books mentioned also in the collection, i.e., The Relation of Baptism to Salvation, The First Baptist Church in America, and The Seven Dispensations? I would give $100 for a GOOD digital copy of "Seven Dispensations"... esp. one of LOGOS calibre. Good try finding one though. God will bless the one who does.

This collection should include The Seven Dispensations which is a very interesting read and a good corrective to extreme dispensationalism, IMHO. I am unhappy that this book was not included in this collection. I gave my personal copy away but it was once a favorite book with me.
