The Gospel in the Gospels: A Conversation with Jonathan Pennington
Author of 'Reading the Gospels Wisely; A Narrative and Theological Introduction
I’m not sure exactly to whom you are referring with the phrase “the gospel-centered camp” but if you mean the likes of Tim Keller, Bryan Chapell, and Tullian Tchividjian then I would gladly take on that label as well. I am radically centered on the freeing and transforming grace of God in the gospel and am hesitant about much of evangelical pietism. Moralism is not the gospel and I think Jesus focuses on this message very much.
Glorious Ruin: Appreciation and Concerns
Tullian (Tchividjian) seems anxious to sever any moral link between sin and suffering
If you’re looking for a book on suffering that offers simplistic answers, easy solutions, five-step formulas, and “pull up your bootstraps” triumphalism, don’t buy Glorious Ruin.
An Interview with author of “When Your Husband is Addicted to Pornography”
I can’t emphasize this enough; a husband’s use of pornography is not about the wife
This book isn’t about the husband as much as it’s about the wife’s heart. I address six themes in the book: hope, surrender, trust, identity, brokenness, and forgiveness. I’ve reiterated this, because I don’t want anyone to get the idea that this is a manual for fixing your husband. It most definitely is not. But………
Our Shining City on a Hill?
A review of In Search of the City on a Hill, Richard M. Gamble, (Continuum, 2012)
Do you believe that America is the “city on a hill” that Christ was referring to in his Sermon on the Mount? Are there more than one of these cities? Was Jesus talking about a civil nation at all, or was this a metaphor of the church?
The Book of Common Prayer at three hundred and fifty.
Thomas Cranmer’s phrases echo through English literature and popular culture.
Only when Henry was succeeded by Edward VI, in 1547, could the reform that Cranmer wanted truly proceed. Cranmer’s Book of Common Prayer was revised in 1552, three years after its publication, in order to intensify the Protestantism of its theology. Ecclesiastical committees had worked on the revision, and this version became the established collective liturgy of the Church of England for the next four hundred and sixty years
A Landmark Book: The First Puritan Systematic Theology
“Without a doubt, this will be an indispensable guidebook to Puritan thought and practice for years to come.” -- Sinclair Ferguson
This massive volume by Joel Beeke and Mark Jones provides the reader with a comprehensive introduction to Puritan thought. It is a notable work of historical-theological synthesis and a book to which I will be returning again and again, both for scholarly reference and personal devotion. Simply an amazing achievement.” -- Carl Trueman
Rachel Held Evans’ ‘A Year of Biblical Womanhood’: A Review
Evans works to prove that the Bible is not without error and therefore cannot be applied literally
This book is not ultimately about manhood and womanhood, headship and submission, or the complementarian and egalitarian debate. At its root this book questions the validity of the Bible. And denying the inerrancy and sufficiency of Scripture is a denial that will ultimately erode the gospel of our Savior.
Embracing Obscurity: Becoming Nothing in Light of God’s Everything by Anonymous
Anonymous is aiming at the pride and self-reliance which lurks just under the surface of our outwardly Christian lives.
He goes on to talk about embracing the “mystery.” Our lives and choices should seem crazy to unbelievers. “Is my life mysterious?” the author asks. “Or do I live, love and lust like the rest of the world?” He brings up the example of NFL running back Glen Coffee who walked away from football after one season, because he wanted to follow God’s call on his life. Is that mysterious or what?
First systematic political theology from an Orthodox Christian perspective
The Mystical as Political: Democracy and Non-Radical Orthodoxy by Aristotle Papanikolaou
The first comprehensive treatment from an Orthodox theological perspective of the issue of the compatibility between Orthodoxy and liberal democracy, Papanikolaou’s is an affirmation that Orthodox support for liberal forms of democracy is justified within the framework of Orthodox understandings of God and the human person
A Balanced Evangelical View of America’s Founding
It would be problematic to deny the deep Christian (or at least theistic) influence on the Founders’ intellectual world.
While not every Founding Father was a Bible believer, they all lived in a Bible-suffused milieu. And while faith was hardly their only inspiration, Christian principles heavily informed the Founders’ beliefs in equality, liberty, and the nature of the American republic.
