Biblical Worldview: Creation, Fall, Redemption Promo Video
Biblical Worldview: Creation, Fall, Redemption now has a promo page on bjupress.com. If you haven't yet purchased a copy, you will want to do so now that there is a promo page. Bryan Smith, the presenter on the video there, is the one whose vision I was trying to live out in the book. His theological mentoring made a major impact on me during my nine years at BJU Press. He knows his Bible extremely well and works to apply it across all the academic disciplines with a depth and rigor I've never...
How to Listen to YouTube Lectures as Podcasts

How can a self-described (sometimes, to the right people, like you I guess) "fundamentalist" not swoon to hear, quoting Roger Olson no less, “It’s been a long time...

Special Deal on Frame’s New Book: $32 Shipped
I like John Frame a lot. He helps me put my Bible together with my worldview. I just reviewed his new book, A History of Western Philosophy and Theology, and a friend of mine at Grace Books (Carlisle, PA) let me know that they have a special going where you can get it for $32 shipped.
