When the Gospel Invades Your Office: Tim Keller on Faith and Work
Since all callings are from God, and all human callings get God's work done, that they all have equal dignity --M. Luther
At one point in my ministry here I regularly visited my members at their workplace---either eating lunch with them in their office or just going by to see them there. Usually these visits had to be brief---20 to 30 minutes. But this made it possible to learn quite a lot about their work-issues and the environment in which they spent so much of their time.
Inerrancy and the Gospels by Vern Poythress; A Review
Is another book on the harmonization of the Gospels really needed?
Inerrancy and the Gospels is a treasure trove of theological wisdom. Readers will find that Poythress sprinkles theological and exegetical insights onto almost every page, which makes reading this book a joyful task. For example, Poythress offers apt advice on the synoptic problem when he states that “the meaning of a discourse . . . consists in what it says, not in the history of its origin". Therefore “we do not have to solve the synoptic problem” to read the Gospels well.
When Smart Theologians Endorse Dumb Hermeneutics
I can’t remember when I’ve read a book that was so disrespectful to women
No serious person can read the book and not see that (Rachel Held) Evans is mocking the Bible. There’s no getting around that. When you twist God’s word, act as if a narrative description is a Biblical command, and then use it to satirize views that no one holds, then you are mocking both the Bible and Christians.
Has LifeWay Really Banned the Word ‘Vagina’?
Fact-checking the widely cited reason the Christian retail chain is not carrying Rachel Held Evans's book.
News item: LifeWay Christian Stores has opted not to carry Rachel Held Evans's new book, A Year of Biblical Womanhood. While she has publicly stated that she has not been told the reason the retail chain won't stock the book, she has also said in several recent interviews that it is because she used the word vagina.
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.
