• A Guest Review: McKnight on Oden -- “Oden moved from a politico-theological orientation to a classic, creedal orthodoxy and in so doing made new friends and offended old ones.”
• Book Review: Before You Share Your Faith, by Matt Smethurst -- “I’ve often asked myself why new believers are so willing—and often so effective—in sharing their newfound faith.”
• Book Review: Faith of the Fatherless: The Psychology of Atheism by Paul Vitz -- “Faith of the Fatherless is a fascinating book that is appropriate for atheist and theist. It is both a must-read for those studying atheism, and good food for thought in assessing one’s own reasons for belief or unbelief.”
• Book Review: Rosaria Champagne Butterfield, The Secret Thoughts Of An Unlikely Convert -- “I discovered this little book by hearing the recommendation and reading the review (on the reformation21.org blog) by Carl Trueman. It is indeed a gem.”
• Bully Pulpit: a Man and His Book -- “Oden, once a man deep in radical, liberal ideals passionately opposed to orthodoxy, confesses a stunning conversion to orthodox evangelical Christianity, and at the coaxing of the most unlikely person.”
• Crowned With Glory: The Bible from Ancient Text to Authorized Version -- “Crowned With Glory is not your average ‘King James Only’ book.”
• History of the English Calvinistic Baptists from John Gill to C. H. Spurgeon by Robert Oliver -- “This particular volume provides a good introduction to the issues of hyper-Calvinism vs. the free offer of the gospel, antinomianism, the eternal Sonship of Christ, and open or closed communion.”
• Psalms and Hymns and Spiritual Songs -- “Nothing objectionable, suitable for everyone, 5 star rating.”
• Review: Finding the Right Hills to Die On by Gavin Ortlund -- “One thing I found very interesting and insightful was the way that Ortlund acknowledged that second-order issues can have ties to first-order ones.”
• The Latin New Testament: A Guide to its Early History, Texts, and Manuscripts, Review -- “Part II explains the texts one faces as a reader of the Latin New Testament, and is both accessible and salutary. The edition of the Vulgate most widely used by today’s scholars is that of Weber et al.”
• WM 236: Review: Everhard on being a “Critical Text Guy” -- “A review of Critical Text vs. Textus Receptus: Some Preliminary Conclusions, by Matthew Everhard.”
