A Community Called Atonement by Scot McKnight (… yes that is one ‘t’, there is another author Scott McKnight)
This is the first book I’ve read from an author belonging to the emergent movement. A while ago I used to follow his blog - jesuscreed.org. He seems to be very balanced and nuanced in [...]
This is one fantastic book! However with a huge disclaimer. Boyd consistently uses the “kingdom” phrase, for what, we believe, is not what Jesus used it. Boyd’s Kingdom of God seems to be either the Church, Christendom, or the Christian Ideal. It does not seem to be the eschatalogical, new age, to which even [...]
First off, let me say that this is a tremendous book. It attempts to do something very amazing, and in many respects it succeeds. I recommend that all Christians read this book, and I assume that many of you already have. With that said, I do have a large reservation that troubles [...]
The New Testament and Rabbinic Judaism by David Daube
This is a very detailed, and very long book which took me some time to get through. I’ve even post-poned doing this review until now because of how long I’d been reading this book. It was certainly worth the read, though I would not recommend [...]
The Kingdom of God by John Bright, 1959
This book is fantastically written. Although it reads like the audience should already know what the Kingdom is, the author isn’t pained to define what it is - but mostly what it isn’t. Fortunately it wasn’t the Kingdom of Israel, and it isn’t the Church. [...]
The Parables: Jewish Tradition and Christian Interpretation by Brad Young
This is a fantastic book, I would recommend that all Christians read this book! It covers roughly twenty-one of Jesus parables. It looks at them in light of the other parables told regarding the subject in Judaism, and other parables which use the same [...]
The Parables of Jesus by William Barclay
This has previously been published under another title: And Jesus Said
Barclay’s writing style, at least in this book, is very informal and casual. It lends for easy reading and clear expression of his thoughts. He shows himself to be very knowledgable about ancient culture, and the culture [...]
This Little Church Went to Market
by Gary Gilley
Victor recommended reading this book to me and I’m very thankful for it. Everyone working in a church should read this book! It opens with the sad state of twenty-first century western people who are ultimately swayed by skilled marketing pulling at their identity and emotions. [...]
God’s Indwelling Presence: The Holy Spirit in the Old & New Testaments
by James M. Hamilton, Jr.
This is a fantastically researched and written book. It was originally a thesis, and has now been published in book form. I hope to see more from this writer in the future. A good portion of the [...]
