The posting of reviews does not constitute endorsement of the products or reviews that are linked.

• A Primer for Christian Doctrine, Reviewed by Daniel Blanche -- “The book is intended to be read alongside a larger textbook of systematic theology, and the author recommends that we view it as a ‘guidebook’ to help the beginner to find their way around the text.”
• Book Recommendation: Can We Trust the Gospels? -- “The final conclusion of the book when Williams asks us to consider this basic question: What is the most reasonable conclusion of the given facts (names, places, Jewish materials, surprising content, undesigned coincidences, fulfilled expectations and more).”
• Book Review: Providence, by John Piper -- “In this book, he surveys the biblical landscape of God’s providential involvement in our world. His stated goal is clear: to invite us into “a world of counterintuitive wonders,””
• Book Review: The Essence and Implications of Missio Dei, by Peter Pikkert -- “As helpfully as Pikkert’s book connects the dots between missio Dei and shifts in evangelical missions priorities, one question hangs over his argument...”
• Book Review: The Man of God: Volume 3, by Albert Martin -- “The greatest strength of these three volumes is Martin’s faithfulness to the Bible.”
• Book Review: Tom Nettles, Ready for Reformation: Bringing Authentic Reform to Southern Baptist Churches -- “This is a courageous book in which Nettles, Professor of Historical Theology atthe Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, dares to say that the recovery of Biblicalinerrancy among Southern Baptists, though laudable, does not go far enough. (And an audio version HERE)”
• In Review: Reforming Apologetics by J.V. Fesko -- “The book is a treat from start to finish, despite certain areas of conflict I had with some of the material. Overall, the insight gleaned from this book should encourage Christians to read more from their theological roots.”
• Review: Institutes of Elenctic Theology by Francis Turretin -- “The Institutes are not technically a systematic theology, although they are commonly categorized and useful as such. As an elenctic work it is polemical in nature, written to expose errors.”
• Review: The Inclusive Language Debate by D. A. Carson -- “I totally understand that not every pastor can read every book and be up on every issue, but I’ve never heard of pastors in my circles being aware of the kinds of arguments Carson makes.”
• Review of Michael Licona’s Why Are There Differences In The Gospels? -- “...the claim that a biblical passage manifests a fact-altering ‘compositional device’ fails to satisfy the significant burden of proof borne by such a complex claim. Licona often overlooks much simpler explanations or rejects them too hastily.”
• The Ecclesiastical Text -- “This is a collection of essays written by Theodore Letis, the Director of the Institute of Renaissance and Reformation Studies, over a period between 1987-1997 and published in journals both popular and academic...”
• The Madness of Crowds – A Review of Douglas Murray’s Latest Book -- “It’s as though there is a collective insanity gripping the Western world, an insanity that will cause us to destroy ourselves unless we wake up. This book is about as clarion a wake up call as you could wish for.”
• WM 116: Review: Authorized: The Use & Misuse of the King James Bible -- “In conclusion, this critique of the KJV is unusual in that it does not come from a Calvinistic evangelical perspective (like previous popular works by D. A. Carson [1978] and James White [1995]), but from one with a fundamentalist background.”
