• A Review of Five Views on Biblical Inerrancy -- “...I doubt if one were setting up a conference on the future of Israel that he would invite countries who don’t believe in the existence of Israel (like Iran) to the table. The deck was stacked.”
• An Affordable Reissue of Letis’s The Ecclesiastical Text -- “Among other things, Letis argues in this book that the inspired New Testament text can be found in the apographs (copies) rather than only in the autographs (originals), offering a direct critique of B. B. Warfield and others in the process.”
• Book Review: Iain H. Murray, Wesley and Men Who Followed, by Jeff Riddle -- “The truth was that men were now leading Methodism who would not have been received as probationers a hundred years earlier.”
• Book Review: The Septuagint -- “For those who are wanting a primer on what the Greek Old Testament is, this is the book for you.”
• Hillbilly Elegy: Another generalization of Appalachia -- “The problem is, he does not have a new or amazing insight. He is doing what outside media has done to Appalachia for generations.”
• Is It Abuse? A Biblical Guide to Identifying Domestic Abuse and Helping Victims. By Darby Strickland. -- “If pastors, counselors, and church members could only read one book on the subject of abuse, I would recommend they read Is It Abuse? by Darby Strickland.”
• Ivy League Professor Dismantles The Destructive ‘Antiracist’ Movement -- “The Elect: Neoracists Posing As Antiracists And Their Threat To A Progressive America...McWhorter correctly identifies this ideological battle between rationality and wokeness as one which must ultimately be fought and won among the Left.”
• Recovering From Biblical Manhood and Womanhood – “A (I Hope) Friendly Review -- All that said, my overall impression of the content of the book is one of concern. The concerns, in my mind, fall into a few distinct categories.”
• Received Text Reading List -- “The list is not exhaustive, but should be sufficient to get you started in your study. Titles are organized according to differing levels of difficulty.”
• Review: Covenantal and Dispensational Theologies: Four Views on the Continuity of Scripture -- “The book is an excellent addition to the ongoing dialogue between different evangelical systems of theology. Each contributor is well-versed, articulate, and cheerful in their presentations and responses. They acknowledge their similarities, discuss their differences, and advance the conversation.”
• Review of The Life and Writings of Thomas Helwys and A Short Declaration of the Mystery of Iniquity -- “Both editors sought to provide a modernized edition of the text and both succeeded in producing a readable copy. Groves also includes a helpful historical introduction that contains an extensive overview of ‘A Short Declaration.’”
• Review: The Making of Biblical Womanhood -- “But the greatest strength of the book, it’s historical narrative, is also its greatest weakness. Barr argues against a doctrine of Scripture, not with Scripture itself, but with history and personal experience.”
• The junk DNA myth takes a well-deserved hit -- “After showing how fraudulent icons have historically been used to prop up the Darwinian paradigm, Wells then illustrates the overall nature of the junk DNA issue before addressing in detail the actual genetic data.”
• The King James Version Defended by Edward F. Hills -- “...this defense of the historic, English Protestant Bible should be read by all who share an interest in these areas.”
• ‘The Quiet Girl’ Review: A Heartfelt, Beautifully Homespun Tale of a Lonely Irish Childhood -- “...you can foretell the way the story must end right from the moment Seán bids Cáit a curt goodnight without even turning his head from the TV...”
• The Story of a Failed Cancellation -- “...the sidelining of one of the country’s pre-eminent popular historians for wrongthink—especially given Oliver’s publications have little to do with his media commentary—shows how a figure too big to cancel can nonetheless be siloed...”
• This Little Church Went To Market and This Little Church Stayed Home -- “Gilley goes into great detail on the authority and sufficiency of the Scriptures, and points out the dangers of looking to other sources, programs, and modern trends.”
