Given six months to live in 1918, Pont became a born-again Christian and eventually considered the ministry his life-calling. He frequently combined his artistic training with his ministry, giving many illustrated talks. While still studying for ordination, Pont was appointed in 1939 to his first pastorate at Gilbert Memorial Church in Georgetown, Connecticut. During this period he was also director (1940-1942) of the Old Fashioned New England Bible Hour, a radio program broadcast from Norwalk, Connecticut. Receiving his pastoral training at Eastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Pennsylvania, and Shelton College in New York City, he was ordained by the South Brooklyn Baptist Church in 1943, and moved later that year to become pastor of First Baptist Church of New Durham in North Bergen, New Jersey. Unable to adequately support his family in that ministry, he returned to secular work about 1950, but remained available for the rest of his life as a guest and substitute speaker in numerous churches in Connecticut, New York and New Jersey. In the course of his ministry, Pont published two books, The Tabernacle Alphabet (Loizeaux Brothers, 1946), which he also illustrated, and The World's Collision (W.A. Wilde Co., 1956). Books on prophecy are not rare but this is a rare book. Seldom is such a well documented volume as this published in evangelical circles. the author, a deep student of the prophetic Scriptures, has done a vast amount of research among government records and has read thoughtfully innumerable political programs and idealistic schemes for the progress and peace of the world. In the train of such preparation he analyses world conditions in the light of the Bible and the movements of our times. If one would know more about the history of man's tragic and futile rule of this world, more about the devastating effects of the power of the universe that he has begun to harness, more about his one-world concept which does not take God into account, and much more about Bible prophecy as it relates to the culminating years of this age, here is a volume that will open the door to such knowledge. E. Schuyler English was editor of the religious magazine Revelation from 1931 to 1939. He was also on the faculty of the Philadelphia School of the Bible from 1935 to 1947 and was its president from 1936 to 1939., W. A. Wilde Comp[any, 1956, 2.25, Ediburgh: T.T. Clark, 1986. Hardcover.

A title in the series The International Critical Commentary on the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments. "This volume completes the monumental work on the prophet Jeremiah by one of the world's most widely recognized scholars of the Old Testament. Unequalled in scope and detail, these volumes draw on textual and linguistic interpretation of the Hebrew Bible and its versions as well as on the work of later commentaries and scholars. The completion of this work is a landmark event in Old Testament scholarship, and will provide a rich source of information for students and researchers for many years to come."
