In 1970, Dr. Montgomery was the visiting Reveille Scholar at the University of California, San Diego. This audio set is comprised of the series of lectures in which he surveyed the theological scene in the 20th century.

An introduction to the world of the occult and an evaluation of its claims and teachings.

What can one know about God from a study of the world around us, and how can this study prepare us for a special revelation from God?

No book in the entire Bible has had such an impact for theological conversion as Paul's Epistle to the Romans. St. Augustine came to Christ on hearing Romans 13:11-14; Martin Luther's study of the book brought him to an understanding of salvation by grace alone through faith; John Wesley's heart was "strangely warmed" as he listened to the reading of Luther's Preface to the Book of Romans at a little Moravian chapel in Aldersgate; and Karl Barth sounded the death knell of pre-World War I liberal theology with his Commentary on Romans.

In 1987, Dr. Montgomery delivered the annual Pascal Lectures at the University of Waterloo. In clear, precise, and easy-to-understand language, he details why the inter-relationship between human rights and Christian theology is so critical. He explains why the justification for human rights can be founded only on a revelation that transcends human knowledge. He then provides reasons why Christians, on the basis of that revelation, should be keenly interested and active in human rights issues.

On February 5, 1969, Drs. Montgomery and Steen were invited to the campus of DePaul University to debate the question "is there a supreme being - someone above me - who knows me, who watches out for me, who can help me, who is my guarantee of eternal life; or is man on his own in this universe?" Julian J. Steen was dean of the Chicago School for Adults and a well-known American humanist.

An introductory lecture on jurisprudence (philosophy of law) delivered at the Faculty of Law, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta on March 26, 1993.

A classic debate between a Christian historian and theologian and a humanist on the historical evidence for Jesus. Dr. Montgomery is well known internationally for his lectures and writings on the historicity of Jesus and the reliability of the New Testament documents. He has set forth his case in books such as History and Christianity. Dr. G. A. Wells is also well known for his view that we have no reliable eyewitnesses to the events related in the New Testament.

This is a treatment of the concepts of law, gospel and the classic three uses of the law, together with their application to the crucial question of the appropriateness of legislating a Christian agenda in a pluralistic society.

Teaching Them All Things compares and contrasts the current situation in the United States and the United Kingdom, and suggests ways in which the gospel can be presented without violating the "separation of church and state" principle.

Dr. Montgomery presents a careful exposition of the fourth Gospel. These popular lectures were delivered as a series to an enthusiastic audience in the late Walter R. Martin's Southern California Bible Class. Now these dynamic talks can be heard in their entirety - for the building up of the saints and as a challenge to the unbeliever.
