Which Commentary Set Should I Buy?

If you’ve never used BestCommentaries.com, you’re in for a treat. You can search for commentaries by book, by set, and by author. I find myself most often searching by book, because on the Romans page, for instance, all the commentaries will be ranked by an aggregate...

Awesome Buy!

I simply don't know how this guy at Rejoice Christian Software does it. The John Frame Theology Collection for $60 instead of $220! I am so tempted... SO tempted! But I own most of these books already, I'm going to have to guess that a lot of those articles are...

Current Kindle Savings

I have now saved $83.26 on books by buying a Kindle. Admittedly, I would not have purchased some of these books had I not gotten a Kindle... And that would put the figure in the $60s. But I'm sure glad I bought those books (like Nothing to Envy, Stalingrad, and 1776)...

God Bless Us, Every One!

Merry Christmas, dear readers. It's time for you to give to one another! Leave in the comments... the best book or book-related item you got for Christmas, and the best book you gave!

A Good Bible Commentary

A good Bible commentary combines judicious exegetical comments with a willingness to make and defend theological and personal application: Viewed from a perspective that holds this world to be a “closed system,” suffering is a harsh and final reality that can never be...

Found It!

I have looked fruitlessly for this quotation a number of times, and I finally just stumbled across it: It is not biblical to say that the only virtues God can require of me are the ones that I am good enough to perform. If I am so bad that I can’t delight in what is...

A new edition of the GNT for the digital age. Unicode, no DRM. And, at last, a printed GNT with sharp, beautiful typography? We'll see. HT: Rod Decker

Audio from Amazon’s Audible

  I got Freakonomics (something fun for me and wife to listen to) and Christianity: The First Three Thousand Years, something by a major secular church historian I thought I ought to stay aware of.

John’s Frame Tetralogy

John Frame’s tetralogy is about to be completed. The Doctrine of the Word of God (DWG) is, according to one person who seems to know, supposed to be released next month. That means you need to go to this page immediately and download the pre-release PDFs of DWG,...

Updated NIV Goes Live Nov 1

News Flash: The new NIV update will be available for online reading Nov 1. Anecdote: I learned a lesson a few years ago from one of my teachers. The ESV Study Bible had just come out, and I was as excited as the rest of the miniscule portion of the blogosphere that I...

Confessions of a Christian Conservative

I’m a Carl Trueman fan, even though he doesn’t want any. He writes incisively and from a theologically conservative, church-historically aware, and self-consciously British perspective. So when he promised to tackle a problem that has been bothering me, I got excited....
