NICOT and NICNT for Logos
The most valuable commentary set on the planet (by some estimates) is again available at the cheapest price Logos has ever given for it, $1,000.
Review: Teaching Cross-Culturally: An Incarnational Model for Learning and Teaching
Teaching Cross-Culturally: An Incarnational Model for Learning and Teaching by Judith E. Lingenfelter My rating: 4 of 5 stars Summary: As a Western teacher teaching non-Western people, you need to become a 150% person: you'll never make it to 200%, but at least you...
Professional Development
I’m at Bibles International for a week to hear Glenn Kerr talk about Hebrew discourse analysis and Bill Smallman talk about cross-cultural communication. I’m reading a very interesting book on the latter topic, Teaching Cross-Culturally: An Incarnational Model for...
ACPADI Book Club—Creation Regained Week 3, Chapter 3: “Fall”
The chapter on fall shows that the scope of the fall is “not only the whole human race but the whole nonhuman world.” (p. 53) Wolters ticks off some of the domains affected by Adam’s sin: marriage the family the state the environment the arts the academy technology...
Dr. Bell on Esther
Just a quick note that when I first touted Dr. Bob Bell’s OT book, I made no claim to have read it, only that I appreciated the author. Now I’ve read more of it, and I just recently read the chapter on Esther. I’ll say just three targeted things about this chapter,...

An Insight from C.S. Lewis through Doug Wilson
Doug Wilson: In another of Lewis's books, The Great Divorce, he describes heaven as a place of real solidity and real color compared to the shadowy ghost world down below. We sometimes think that when Jesus rose from the dead, He turned into a kind of ghost. After...

Narnian Nobility
I’m reviewing a great little book that fellow Narnians would, I’m sure, enjoy as much as I do: Doug Wilson’s What I Learned in Narnia. Not all moralizing is bad: Wilson artfully reveals the morals in various pericopes of the Narnia septet. He provides seven chapters...
Bloodlines Review
Bloodlines: Race, Cross, and the Christian is the latest book penned by John Piper. In it he applies the impassioned exegesis for which he is known to issues of race and ethnicity. But his Christian Hedonism appears little in the book: it is mostly an exposition of...
