  • Philosophy: A Student’s Guide

    Recently, I’ve been killing it with eBooks. Like I commented on Twitter, I’m usually feast or famine. If I’m reading 1 eBook (using the Kindle app on my iPad) then I’m probably reading a dozen. I had the idea that instead of reviewing the books as I finish them (since I usually only review print…

  • Logic: A God-Centered Approach

    First off, you’ve gotta admit this is a pretty incredible cover. Logic textbook or not, there’s just something about this design that just draws you in. This is perhaps a good thing since most people won’t take a formal class on logic at any point in their education, much less read a textbook on it.…

  • The Invention of The Biblical Scholar

    In reviewing a book like this, I’m not really sure where to start. This is a small, yet incredibly dense volume. The density makes it almost impossible to summarize in a review form that is not just a recreation of the back matter. The book is only 131 pages long and only has 3 chapters.…

  • Recovering Classic Evangelicalism

    Usually, I work off of a loose queue line for my review oriented reading. Big volumes are an exception, but in general, I try to work in a loose order of arrival. However, I always try to give each book a good initial perusal when it first comes in the mail. This involves judging the…

  • Mere Apologetics: How to Help Seekers & Skeptics Find Faith

    Alister McGrath is professor of theology, ministry, and education and head of the Centre for Theology, Religion, and Culture at King’s College, London, and president of the Oxford Center for Christian Apologetics.
