Al Mohler Wants Hell

by Dave March 16, 2011

Anyone who knows me will attest of my preoccupation with Al Mohler, President of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.  Big Al is a tried and true Calvinist who feels that it is important for all of us to shun anyone who feels the primary message of Jesus is Love, and most particularly to shun the [...]

The Lost Codex – N.T. Wright Edition

by Dave February 26, 2011

I have N.T. Wright’s Paul In Fresh Perspective, audio version, and I have been through it more than 5 times.  Tom Wright is my favorite theologian and he has done so much to expand and explain the Christian faith.

Update on Piper and McKnight, Blue Parakeet

by Dave January 12, 2011

As I said in the previous post, I started out with McKnight.  I am a big fan of Scot now and his Blue Parakeet is in keeping with my high expectation for him.  However, his book is only in printed form whereas the Piper apologetic is in audio.  So while I am halfway through with [...]

The Kingdom of David

by Dave October 23, 2010

On John Byron’s blog, The Biblical World, there is a video series about the kingdom of David and I thought it looked good enough to provide links to the videos here: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4 I have only watched Part 1 so far, but it looks quite good.  Each episode [...]
