Theologian Trading Cards: A Review
A Fun Way to Learn Church History and Theology (#ChristmasShopping)
The cards are attractive and will appeal to those of a Reformed or scholastic bent. I can envision them being used in homeschools and Christian schools in the junior high to high school level, or even younger than that. They will spur more research into the various figures, but I’m not so sure they’ll actually be traded. Since you get the set, there’s nothing to trade for. Unless teachers use them as rewards and then, the trading would ensue!
The Rise, Expansion, and Fall of the Evangelical Left; A Review
It may not be as dead as it seems, argues David Swartz. Maybe it even won.
It is precisely this possibility that makes Moral Minority not only a stirring account of recent American history, but also a necessary tool for understanding our global Christian moment. Buy it, read it, debate it, disagree with it, but do not ignore it.
A Review: A Year of Biblical Womanhood
Here's what I would have said if we could have gotten the chance to open that dialogue.
Rachel, I can and do agree with much of what you say in your book regarding the ways in which either poor biblical interpretation or patriarchal customs have sinfully oppressed women. I would join you in exposing churches, books, teachers, and leaders who have imposed a human agenda on the Bible. However, you have become what you claim to despise; you have imposed your own agenda on Scripture in order to advance your own goals.
Secret Thoughts Every Ministry Wife Should Read
A Review of Rosaria Butterfield's 'The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert'
The book’s chief value is Butterfield’s blunt examination of how the church, and its culture, first appeared to her. In this book, she addresses many of the stereotypes that abundantly churched people (often unintentionally) foster about non-Christians. And she explains how the Body of Christ both failed and reached her as the Spirit began His work in her soul
The Gospel in the Gospels: A Conversation with Jonathan Pennington
Author of 'Reading the Gospels Wisely; A Narrative and Theological Introduction
I’m not sure exactly to whom you are referring with the phrase “the gospel-centered camp” but if you mean the likes of Tim Keller, Bryan Chapell, and Tullian Tchividjian then I would gladly take on that label as well. I am radically centered on the freeing and transforming grace of God in the gospel and am hesitant about much of evangelical pietism. Moralism is not the gospel and I think Jesus focuses on this message very much.
Glorious Ruin: Appreciation and Concerns
Tullian (Tchividjian) seems anxious to sever any moral link between sin and suffering
If you’re looking for a book on suffering that offers simplistic answers, easy solutions, five-step formulas, and “pull up your bootstraps” triumphalism, don’t buy Glorious Ruin.
An Interview with author of “When Your Husband is Addicted to Pornography”
I can’t emphasize this enough; a husband’s use of pornography is not about the wife
This book isn’t about the husband as much as it’s about the wife’s heart. I address six themes in the book: hope, surrender, trust, identity, brokenness, and forgiveness. I’ve reiterated this, because I don’t want anyone to get the idea that this is a manual for fixing your husband. It most definitely is not. But………
Our Shining City on a Hill?
A review of In Search of the City on a Hill, Richard M. Gamble, (Continuum, 2012)
Do you believe that America is the “city on a hill” that Christ was referring to in his Sermon on the Mount? Are there more than one of these cities? Was Jesus talking about a civil nation at all, or was this a metaphor of the church?
The Book of Common Prayer at three hundred and fifty.
Thomas Cranmer’s phrases echo through English literature and popular culture.
Only when Henry was succeeded by Edward VI, in 1547, could the reform that Cranmer wanted truly proceed. Cranmer’s Book of Common Prayer was revised in 1552, three years after its publication, in order to intensify the Protestantism of its theology. Ecclesiastical committees had worked on the revision, and this version became the established collective liturgy of the Church of England for the next four hundred and sixty years
A Landmark Book: The First Puritan Systematic Theology
“Without a doubt, this will be an indispensable guidebook to Puritan thought and practice for years to come.” -- Sinclair Ferguson
This massive volume by Joel Beeke and Mark Jones provides the reader with a comprehensive introduction to Puritan thought. It is a notable work of historical-theological synthesis and a book to which I will be returning again and again, both for scholarly reference and personal devotion. Simply an amazing achievement.” -- Carl Trueman
