For the past year, I’ve been reading N.T. Wright more than any other author. His “big books” have been mountains that I was determined to climb carefully and thoroughly. Today I finished what easily goes to the top of my list of books that have impacted my life, my ministry, my faith and my understandingContinue reading “Review: Jesus and The Victory of God by N.T. Wright”

McCoy’s Open Letter To Seminarians
Readers of the Boar’s Head Tavern or SBC blogs are aware that the SBC’s International Mission Board has recently decided to draw several inexplicable, extrabiblical, lines in the sand: -Banning anyone who ever spoke in tongues from serving as a missionary. -Making baptism in an SBC church the only recognizable form of baptism for missionaryContinue reading “McCoy’s Open Letter To Seminarians”

Review: Colossians Remixed
Colossians Remixed by Brian Walsh and Sylvia C. Keesmaat. IVP, 2004. Reading, rereading, hearing, rehearing, teaching, reteaching, discussing, rediscussing….the letters of Paul and books/sermons/teaching from them. Sometimes, I become quite bored, I’ll admit. In the conservative evangelical circles I move in, Paul gets a lot of attention, and everyone assumes they understand him. He isContinue reading “Review: Colossians Remixed”

The Book I've Been Waiting For: Ryken's Bible Handbook
I’ve been teaching the Bible to high school students for 13 years, and hope to do so for many more. In that time, I’ve been looking for a particular resource, and I’ve never found it…until now.

I am enthusiastic about recommendingContinue reading “The Book I've Been Waiting For: Ryken's Bible Handbook”
High Culture, Low Lifes and Judgement In The Household of God: Answering That Tattoo/Piercing Question
Because I work with students, many of them not Christians, but mostly with some Christian background, I get a lot of questions about certain topics. I could probably post a “Ten Most Frequently Asked Questions From My Students” and you would be surprised at what is not on that list. Understanding that I am campusContinue reading “High Culture, Low Lifes and Judgement In The Household of God: Answering That Tattoo/Piercing Question”
Book Review: God is the Gospel by John Piper
[The entire text of God Is The Gospel is online at Crossway.] Many of my readers will be aware that I recently removed the essay “The Piper Project” from this web site. I am an unabashed fan of John Piper; a listener to his preaching, a student and reader of his work and a teacherContinue reading “Book Review: God is the Gospel by John Piper”
