Finished re-reading: The Kingdom of God by Jeffrey Johnson 📚 An excellent book. One of the best introductions to historic baptist covenant theology that I’ve read.

Finished reading: Taught by God by Brandon D. Smith which makes the case for the admiration and retrieval of a premodern form of interpretation. 📚

“every biblical theology is incomplete, a drawn-up bucket out of an endless well”

— L. Michael Morales in Exodus Old and New 💬 📚

I finished reading: Exodus Old and New by L. Michael Morales 📚 Although a few of the author’s connections were unconvincing, this book succeeds in clearly establishing the exodus as an important theme throughout scripture.

Finished reading: The Covenants by R. B. C. Howell, a book on Baptist Covenant Theology from the 19th century. I found chapters 7 and 9 the most helpful. Be aware, that the author has some unique views, and the language is a bit archaic. It’s available free online or as an ebook 📚

Finished reading: The Art of Disagreeing by Gavin Ortlund 📚

This brief book is full of wisdom for our contentious times, explaining how meaningful disagreements must be both well-founded and graciously handled.

Recently Finished reading: Rose Guide to End-Times Prophecy by Timothy Paul Jones 📚I’m grateful for the author’s attempts to be even-handed, and highlight things to appreciation about each perspective. Still, it covers too much for most lay readers, and not enough for an in-depth assessment.

Finished reading: The Essential Means of Grace by Paul Washer 📚 This short little book is a very readable and practical overview. I’ll be recommending this and buying copies to give away.

Finished reading: The Preeminent Christ by Paul Washer 📚

I’m always thankful to read a primer on essential doctrine that is devotional rather than dry and stirs the heart to worship. A bonus is the wealth of hand-selected quotes on the subject from throughout church history.

Finished reading: Finally Free by Heath Lambert 📚 This is one of the best books I’ve read on this topic—full of practical help and solid biblical wisdom, which is often missing from similar books. It will be one of the first books I recommend going forward.
