Eerdmans posted an interview with Alvin Plantinga about his new book Knowledge and Christian Belief.
I posted a summary (6,000 words) of G. K. Beale’s Handbook on the NT use of the OT over at Books At a Glance. If you haven’t signed up yet, try a free 30-day trial and read my summary of this fantastic resource.
We posted two new posts in our Greek Matters series, which looks at practical or devotional points we can take from the Greek that isn’t easily or at all apparent from the English translations. Check out Greek Matters: Colossians 1:3-5 and Christian Hope and Greek Matters: Colossians 1:9-12 and Pleasing God.
We also posted a write-up from Jennifer Guo on Chris Tilling’s Paul’s Divine Christology. To be honest, I hadn’t checked out the book yet, but from Jennifer’s write-up (mostly summary, a bit evaluation) I now know this is a landmark publication to be read ASAP.
