What better way to end off the year and give you ideas on how to put that Christmas gift money or Amazon gift cards you got to good use than a list of awesome books! As you probably know already, I love to read! And although this year I've fallen behind my reading goal of 50 books in the year...
Here is everything we got (so far) on
The Meaning of Jesus | Book Review
This is a book that I assume many Evangelicals would not be too familiar with—but it was an interesting read. It is a conversation between a liberal and conservative(ish) scholar about the historical Jesus debate. Not many people outside of scholastic circles will be too familiar with this debate,...
The New Perspective on Paul and Justification – By Faith Alone?
For many, the phrase, "The New Perspective on Paul" would not have much meaning. However, this debate in theological circles has massive influence on many pastors and church leaders today. It hits at the core of the Protestant doctrine of justification by faith alone, and thus, is an important one...
Evangelism and the Sovereignty of God
J.I. Packer (1954-2020) is probably one of my favourite writers, and this book is yet another great read by one who is, in my estimation and many others, one of the best Evangelical writers. Those who have read his book Knowing God would attest to this! (And if you haven’t yet, go get a copy!) His...
The Atheist Who Didn’t Exist
For those of you who are not familiar with Dr. Andy Bannister, you should be. Whether you’re an atheist or Christian or anything else, his wittiness and sense of humour alone are worth the banter of this book. Even if you don’t come to agree with his intensely straightforward logical reasoning,...
Strong Medicine for a Fatal Disease | Social Justice, Critical Race Theory & the Gospel
You can also listen to an audio version of this article here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4EEDyfdRbBrKNJMrLTrIIe?si=A32gV4IFRRq3AFBsjCWl7A Social Justice and Racism are terms which have reverberated throughout our societies in an especially amplified way this past year. The various riots of...
Progressive Christianity and Deconstructing the Faith
You can also listen to an audio version of this article here: The true historic faith of Christianity has always been under attack. Even from the earliest days of the church in its infancy, we see in the writings of the New Testament that false teaching was already a big concern. It is...
James Anderson | What’s Your Worldview?
Dr. James N. Anderson has written what is probably one of my favourite introductory-level apologetics books. What’s Your Worldview: An Interactive Approach to Life’s Big Questions is a novel and creative approach to Christian apologetics to the layperson. The premise is simple but profound—what...
Discovering the Heart of the Reformation
I think it important that every serious would-be ‘Protestant’ should at least endeavour to have a basic understanding of what is meant by that term. Studying the Reformation then is of many benefits—and Michael Reeve’s book is a great introduction to whet the appetite and leave one wanting more!...
Crazy Busy | A (mercifully) short review of a (mercifully) short book
Are you crazy busy? Stressed out? Do you find yourself always replying with the same almost automated response when people ask how are you? “I’m busy, but good.” As much as I try to avoid it—I am. I know that feeling all too well. We tell ourselves it’s just for a season, but seasons have a...
