I was going to recommend a book here, possibly in a list of recommendations or possibly in a more extended comment. I finished reading this story to the kids tonight and everyone enjoyed it. Before writing, I thought I’d hop over to Amazon and see more details about the book (since we found it in… Read More »
Perhaps you recall my post a few years back about a commentary on 1 Kings that I really wanted but that cost $2,736.18. This is a good commentary, but it’s not old and it’s not made out of gold. It was published by a major company (Anchor) in my sons ‘ lifetime (2001). It has… Read More »
I have acquired a few copies of a special edition of a Bible atlas that you can’t get anywhere else. If you think you know what I’m talking about and you want one, send me an email and I ‘ll let you know the details.
What do you suppose was the best selling study Bible last year? ESV Study Bible? Archaeological Study Bible? MacArthur or Ryrie or Stanley? The actual list surprised me in many ways. Hard to believe that people are still buying some of these. What’s the best? I confess that I haven’t used the “American Patriot’s Study… Read More »

I now see this passage “written” on almost every page of books like Daniel, Ezekiel and throughout the New Testament stories of Jesus. I truly believe that seeing Isaiah… Read More »
Thanks for taking my poll on what biblical commentary I might write. I don’t get a lot of interaction on this blog, so it’s nice to get a little from time to time. By its very nature, the poll obviously wasn’t so serious. It was more of a gauge on your perception of my future,… Read More »
I wrote two sermons yesterday and one this afternoon. My hopes to write the fourth (and final) this evening have run aground on 2 Chronicles 32:24ff. I can’t figure it out and the dozen or so commentaries I’ve checked so far aren’t even asking the right question, let alone answering it. But I… Read More »
With the close of the semester and a quick flight to Florida and back, I picked up a book I expected to keep my attention. Fresh off a semester in which I studied Roman history a tad, I was interested to see how Paul L. Maier’s The Flames of Rome would tie in with what… Read More »
Today only Merrill’s 2nd edition of Kingdom of Priests is available for Logos at “half price.” I put that in quotation marks because it is based on the retail price ($40), and you can buy the paperback version every day at Amazon for $26. This brings to mind yet again my frustration at having to… Read More »
Challies gives his top 9 books of 2009. Though I haven’t read any of the books, my guess is that I would tend to agree with his choices. (Can I say that?) Andreas Kostenberger suggests his top 10 theological books of the year. This afternoon I bought his A Theology of John’s Gospel and Letters… Read More »
