Each year many of us start afresh on our Bible reading plans. Sometimes we choose a new one and sometimes we choose the excitement of a new plan. There are lots of different plans, and each one has its benefits and drawbacks.
But one of the challenges to a plan that goes through the entire Bible is that the Old Testament is so foreign and inaccessible to those without formal theological training (and even then, of course, who has the Old Testament mastered?). This problem becomes especially discouraging when you hit Leviticus and it begins describing in repetitive detail the various kinds of sacrifices….

RECOMMENDED COMMENTARIES
Throughout this Guide references are made to five commentaries that are written in English or translated into English and are based directly on the Greek text of John. They are:
C. K. Barrett, The Gospel according to St. John: An Introduction with Commentary and Notes on the Greek Text. 2nd ed. Philadelphia: Westminster, 1978.
Nancy Pearcey wrote award winning Total Truth, an incredible book laying out a Christian worldview as a paradigm for cultural and intellectual engagement. (That book, by the way, is currently 44% off at WTS Books — if you haven’t read it, it needs to go on your to-read shelf!) Now she has written a following up volume Finding Truth: 5 Principles for Unmasking Atheism, Secularism, and Other God Substitutes and it’s only $3.99 on Kindle. As the sub-title indicates, she gives five principles for finding non-Christian worldviews in various elements of society.
Here are some good books to have on Kindle – I’d probably prefer them in e-format than on my shelf taking up space, since they’re quicker readers. Some of them are good orientations to their subject, such as the book on premill and on whether the church has replaced Israel, and especially Naselli’s book on the atonement.
Taking Christian Moral Thought Seriously (B&H Studies in Christian Ethics), by Jeremy A. Evans and Daniel Heimbach….
The New Testament world lost a giant when I. Howard Marshall died on Saturday, December 12, 2015. Immediately, testimonies began popping up all over the web about ways Marshall had influenced men and women in the classroom and out of it. Since I never met Dr. Marshall but have appreciated his work, I thought I could join the tribute train by collating the testimonies of others into one place. If you have any more, please comment below so I can add them to the post….
