I spent last week at the annual meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society. One of the benefits to attendees is good prices on the latest books, usually at 50% discount. I’ve attended three times previously, but for various reasons I purchased very little. This year I bought much more, in part thinking ahead to next year’s study through the Bible and preparation for comprehensive exams. I like seeing what other people (whom I care about) buy, so I thought that some of you might find it of interest if I shared. This is not a complete list, nor is it a recommended list. Perhaps one day I ‘ll comment on some of these after I have read them.<\/p>\n
Boyd, Gregory A. and Paul R. Eddy, Across the Spectrum: Understanding Issues in Evangelical Theology<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n Hannah, John D., An Uncommon Union: Dallas Theological Seminary and American Evangelicalism<\/a><\/em>. The flyleaf says “Dallas Theological Seminary is often stereotyped as a stronghold of fundamentalism, biblical inerrancy, and dispensational premillennialism. In this groundbreaking book, a graduate and veteran faculty member of DTS explains how the truth is far more complicated than such stereotypes would imply.” Uh-oh. <\/p>\n Meadors, Gary T., ed., Four Views on Moving Beyond the Bible to Theology<\/a>. <\/em><\/p>\n Meyer, Jason C., The End of the Law: Mosaic Covenant in Pauline Theology<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n Moore, Russell D., Adopted for Life: The Priority of Adoption for Christian Families and Churches<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n Morgan, Christopher W. and Robert A. Peterson, eds., Suffering and the Goodness of God<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n Mortenson, Terry and Thane H. Ury, eds., Coming to Grips with Genesis: Biblical Authority and the Age of the Earth<\/a><\/em>. I’ve seen positive reviews on this book, but after I got it home I saw that it has a chapter defending gapless genealogies in Genesis 5 and 11. Good luck with that.<\/p>\n Oswalt, John N., The Bible Among the Myths: Unique Revelation or Just Ancient Literature?<\/em><\/a> I listened to Oswalt give a survey of this book. I’m also enjoying his commentary on Isaiah.<\/p>\n Smith, Gary V., Isaiah 40-66<\/a><\/em> (New American Commentary). I also met and talked with Dr. Smith. I’m really enjoying his Isaiah 1-39<\/a><\/em>, and he gave me a preview of his revolutionary thinking contained in the second volume.<\/p>\n Ware, Bruce A., Big Truths for Young Hearts: Teaching and Learning the Greatness of God<\/em><\/a>. I may say something about Ware’s presidential address in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I spent last week at the annual meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society.
