  • High School Boys Bible Study: Ephesians

    [This post is part of the What Are We Up To In Ministry? series] In continuing this series, I want to do my best to keep you up to date with all the aspects of it, especially as they develop. Part of what I’m doing in my ministry internship at CrossPointe Church Waterford Lakes is a boys Bible study.…

  • Theological Commentary: Evangelical Perspectives

    [This review is part of the What Is Theological Interpretation? series] On a couple of recent occasions, Justin Taylor has highlighted an article by D. A. Carson that is featured in Theological Commentary: Evangelical Perspectives. Thanks to T & T Clark, I received copy of it to review, and I thought I’d tell you about the rest of the book.…

  • Faith That Moves Mountains: A Prosperity Gospel Blunder

    At CrossPointe, we’re in the midst of our series Servant/Savior on the Gospel of Mark (if you’re in Orlando, join us!). This past Sunday we made it to the 12th chapter, and are going to finish up the book around Easter. Thanks to Fortress Press sending along a review copy, I’ve been able to read N.…

  • Five Views on Justification

    IVP Academic was kind enough to send along Justification: Five Views for review, and over the next several weeks, I’m going to split up my review of it. I’ve decided the weeks leading up to Easter would be a good time to focus on this subject, which has ramifications for my reading plan, but that will wait for…

  • Psalms as Torah and Other Studies in Theological Interpretation

    [This post is part of the What Is Theological Interpretation? series] Recently, Baker Academic has been very gracious in sending me several books. Two of those books, Psalms as Torah and The Character of Christian Scripture are part of an on-going series called Studies in Theological Interpretation. After looking at the other titles, I decided to…

  • The Evolution of Adam: A Review

    Yesterday, I offered you some important preliminaries, so today we’ll dive into an actual review of The Evolution of Adam. Peter Enns considers his primary audience to be first Christians, and second people who think evolution needs to be taken seriously. Because of that, his aim “is to speak to those who feel that a synthesis between a…

  • Book of the Week: The Evolution of Adam

    Conveniently, the book this week is Peter Enns newest one, The Evolution of Adam. It provides a nice follow up to last week’s book (which is far more rigorous when it comes to Genesis) and will no doubt probably prove to be as much if not more controversial than his Inspiration and Incarnation (at least…

  • The Sixth Sense and The Gospels

    I would imagine everyone who wants to has seen The Sixth Sense as this point. This illustration though could work with almost any M. Night Shyamalan film (except for Avatar, and maybe another couple, ok, so maybe not every one). If you haven’t seen the movie, I’m going to ruin the ending for you… right…

  • Revisiting the Corruption of The New Testament

    Revisiting the Corruption of the New Testament is the first in what looks to be a promising series from Kregel called Text and Canon of the New Testament. The essays in this particular book are directed mainly towards Bart Ehrman’s claims about the corruption of the New Testament and specifically those made in his more academic…
