  • 4 Online Journals You Should Know About

    Yesterday, the latest issue of Themelios was published and there’s some good reading to be had in there. Andreas Kostenberger’s The Present and Future of Biblical Theology stands out for one, but there’s also 68 book reviews! Themelios is a great catch-all online journal (especially when it comes book reviews) but it’s not the only journal you can…

  • 12 Reasons Jesus Had To Become A Man

    Over this past weekend, I was able to sit down and read Bruce Ware’s latest book The Man Jesus Christ: Theological Reflections on The Humanity of Christ. I’ll post a full review sometime next week maybe, but in the meantime, here’s some food for thought. In response to a claim by some that Jesus’ male gender…

  • Baseball + Theology = Theologian Trading Cards

    A couple of weeks ago, I showed you that I got these Theologian Trading Cards in the mail courtesy of Zondervan Academic. I thought I’d give you a few more pictures, my thoughts, and link to where you can enter a giveaway to get some for yourself! Basically, this is a set of baseball cards,…

  • Have You Heard of Classic Christianity?

    This may at first glance seem like an odd Black Friday post, but bear with me. When I was at Dallas, I remember seeing several students carrying around Thomas Oden’s 3 volume systematic theology. He even came for a lectureship about the early African origins of Christianity (which you can read more about here). I…

  • A Collection of Challies’ Visual Theology Infographics

    I’ve linked to some of these before, but since Tim Challies offered a roundup post, I thought you should have this link.

  • Two Views on Thomas Aquinas For Evangelicals

    Over at The Gospel Coalition yesterday, they posted two essays on Thomas Aquinas. The first (that I saw), was by K. Scott Oliphint and suggested Aquinas is a shaky foundation: Thomas Aquinas is among the top philosophical theologians in the history of the church. His genius cannot be doubted. His significant influence extends, not simply…

  • Election As Chuck Testa

    You thought this whole deal was your idea? Nope. “You did not choose me, but I chose you” (John 15:16). You think you were picked based on your ability? Nope. “So then it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy” (Romans 9:16). You think you were picked when you…

  • Delighting In The Trinity: An Introduction To The Christian Faith

    As a general rule, I’m always keeping my eye out for new and interesting books on the Trinity. Even more importantly, I try to keep an eye out for books on the Trinity geared toward the popular level reader. When I saw IVP Academic had released Delighting In The Trinity: An Introduction to the Christian Faith and…
