I Believe: Exploring the Apostle’s Creed
Alister McGrath is an Anglican who writes often on Reformation theology and related issues. This is a small book that reads like a primer on the Christian faith using the Apostle’s Creed as an outline. It is loaded with good illustrations about basic doctrines as well as simple explanations of the meaning of biblical words […]
Truth, Evangelism & the Postmodern Mind
This is a 3-tape series of messages presented at Trinity International University’s May 1998 conference “Telling the Truth: Evangelizing Postmoderns.” These messages are going to be part of a book coming out this year. You can buy the tapes through the Ravi Zacharias Ministries. Two tapes are by Zacharias and one is by Carson. Both […]
True Spirituality
This is one of those books by Schaeffer that I had missed reading when we were all reading Escape from Reason, How Shall We Then Live?, and The God Who Is There. In this book (first printed in 1971, containing 180 pages) Schaeffer applies the apologetic emphases of his other books into a practical guide […]
The Everlasting Man
Starting off the year with this book was not an easy task. As a matter of fact, I would not advise this book as a starting place for reading Chesterton. (start with his smaller book, Orthodoxy) I would, however, advise reading the book sometime. He gives a short purpose for the book by saying, “The […]
Messiah: the Story of George Frideric Ha...
It was a delight to be loaned this book for the Christmas holidays. I had never read the biography of this great composer who blessed us with The Messiah. This was a story as well of how that composition came into being, uniquely following only biblical wording. Worthwhile!
Experiencing God
This is one of those books, because of its popularity, you have to read in order to answer the questions and comments about it. Experiencing God is now a seminar course, a tape series, a workbook and even a study Bible. My comments are in a positive and negative form. Positively. Blackaby (the primary spokesman) […]
C.S. Lewis & Francis Schaeffer
This is a 1998 book on current apologetic trends as foreshadowed by these two well-known writers. The authors are both from Asbury Theological Seminary, which shows through the critique especially in the chapter on Inerrancy. I think, however, that the book is a fair evaluation of the views of these two prolific writers. The value […]
The Death of Outrage
This is a 1998 book by the long-time conservative and well-known author of The Book of Virtues. The sub-title is “Bill Clinton and the Assault on American Ideals.” This book was released just before President Clinton gave his public deposition before the Federal Grand Jury. Bennett’s purpose in the book is to defend traditional ideals […]
Renaissance and Reformation
While browsing a used book store, I came across this 1986 book by Estep, an author of Baptist History, whom I have enjoyed. This book covers only those time periods within the title but includes many descriptions of Baptist history as well. This book was of particular interest to me because of the present struggle […]
