Finding Truth by Nancy Pearcey only $3.99 on Kindle
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!)

If you have any more, please comment below so I can add them to the post….

Your Guide to Three Greek Exegetical Problems in John
You’re sitting at home enjoying a nice show when your doorbell rings: it’s a Jehovah’s witness who wants to share with you about how Jesus is a god. How do you respond? Do you tell him you’re busy and shut the door? Do you engage in a debate with him? Do you pull out your Greek New Testament to discuss the grammatical complexities of John 1:2? There are many reasons we as Christians and academics should know Greek grammar solid, and this is only one of them. Of course each Christological passages in the Bible require careful exegesis and close attention to the language used, otherwise how would we know whether our theology of Christ is actually grounded in what the biblical authors wrote?….
