The Coming King and The Rejected Shepherd: Matthew’s Reading of Zechariah’s Messianic Hope by Clay Alan Ham
Another short book (1256pgs) but full of nuggets and good work. The first two chapters of the book are highly technical. The author is proficient in both Hebrew and Greek and uses the first two chapters to [...]
Robert Schuller, said the following:
“I don’t think anything has been done in the name of Christ and under the banner of Christianity that has proven more destructive to human personality and, hence, counterproductive to the evangelism enterprise than the often crude, uncouth, and unchristian strategy of attempting to make people aware of their lost and sinful [...]
Jesus & Utopia: Looking for the Kingdom of the God in the Roman World by Mary Ann Beavis
For starters, let me say that this book is very liberal, and takes what could be considered a very alternative starting point of view. (Yes, I read this in a day, it was short, only 108 pages). [...]
Believer’s Baptism: Sign of the New Covenant of Christ, edited by Thomas R. Schreiner and Shawn D. Wright
I was looking forward to getting my hands on this book and reading it. Some of it I didn’t find too interesting, specifically sections of paedobaptism (infant baptism) - because the ineffectiveness of such a practice is [...]
The Problem With Evangelical Theology: Testing the Exegetical Foundations of Calvinism, Dispensationalism, and Wesleyanism by Ben Witherington III
This is another fantastic book by Witherington. I wanted to finish this in short order after I read his newer book. However, life got in the way and I’ve only just finished it minutes ago, after [...]
These two videos illustrate two different perspectives on evangelism today. I think in many ways it sums up much of what people are saying here. Please watch the first video and then the response below:
Bullhorn Guy - Rob Bell
Bullhorn Response - Christian Malpractice - Way of the Master
What do you think of these thoughts?
Which [...]
Don’t get me wrong - it is clear that we must live lives that back up the gospel we are preaching. I am just going to say that at the beginning so that I am not misunderstood. As Christians, we are to live lives of love, holiness, hospitality and generosity. Jesus and his disciples communicate [...]
I watched the “Jesus Family Tomb” on the Discovery Channel last night as well as the roundtable discussion with Ted Koppel afterwards. Personally, I’m still a Christian ;-).
The movie was interesting although made a lot “maybes” “what if” “perhaps” into seemingly definates.
I really enjoyed the discussion afterwards - the best part of that hour was [...]
In light of news like this (Lesbian converts to convert others), I think it is important for us to think about the debate around homosexuality and moral implications. Good thing others are thinking too. And it seems they are right on.

There are a few interesting things about these articles.
First off, that there is even discussion about this topic is rather amazing knowing the Bible speaks about the Temple needing to be rebuilt. There are people discussing these issues who are serious and are campaigning for it to be a reality.
Secondly, it also [...]
