The new issue of Themelios (35-1) has just been published. I know there is lots of chatter on the blogs about it, but let me make the observation that in this issue, the book reviews is where it’s at. They are excellent and, even, scathing at times! Ok, maybe I’m over-doing it a bit, but the book review section has some real zingers this time. Below are several highlights:
- Alistair McGrath, Heresy: A History of Defending the Truth. Reviewed by Kevin DeYoung
- Dewi Hughes, Power and Poverty: Divine and Human Rule in a World of Need. Reviewed by Steve Timmis
- John Stott, The Radical Disciple. Reviewed by Vaughan Roberts
- Michael Frost and Alan Hirsch, ReJesus: A Wild Messiah for a Missional Church. Reviewed by Tim Chester
- Philip B. Payne, Man and Woman, One in Christ: An Exegetical and Theological Study of Paul’s Letters. Reviewed by Thomas R. Schreiner (Don’t miss this one)
- John G. Turner Bill Bright and Campus Crusade for Christ: The Renewal of Evangelicalism in Postwar America. Reviewed by Owen Strachan
- Francesca Aran Murphy and Philip G. Ziegler, eds. The Providence of God: Deus Habet Concilium. Reviewed by Paul Helm (Worth the work to read all the way through.)
D. A. Carson and Carl Trueman’s editorials, as always, are excellent and worth the read. I haven’t read Martin Salter’s “Does Baptism Replace Circumcision?” yet, but from what I can tell, it looks great.
Many thanks to the work of Andy Naselli – the muscle behind much of Themelios.
