A. A. Hodge on the Importance of Doctrine
Justin Taylor mentioned two books on the importance of theology earlier today—one new and one old: The Trials of Theology: Becoming a “Proven Worker” in a Dangerous Business (Amazon), edited by Andrew Cameron and Brian Rosner, and Helmut Thielicke’s A Little Exercise for Young Theologians (Amazon). Both look good. There’s also been a lot of buzz recently about [...]
OpenLibrary.org: “Every Book Ever Published”
I knew that would get your attention. Internet Archive, a site I use regularly for researching public domain books, just announced their newest project: OpenLibrary.org. Here’s the site’s description: One web page for every book ever published. It’s a lofty, but achievable, goal. To build it, we need hundreds of millions of book records, a [...]
Resources on the Doctrine of Union with Christ
A pastor friend of mine sent out an email to a few friends last week asking for recommended resources on the doctrine of our union with Christ. I’ve done some reading and studying on the subject in the past, so I pulled together a bibliography of articles, books, etc. I haven’t read everything on my [...]

The Second Best Book in the World
I read an endorsement recently that really grabbed my attention. A well-known individual described a book that is not very well known in these terms: This book is much better than any other book in the world, excepting the Bible, in my opinion. The individual was Jonathan Edwards. The book was Peter Van Mastricht’s A [...]
Two New Theology Books Now on My Wishlist
P&R just published J. van Genderen & W. H. Velema’s Concise Reformed Dogmatics, which the publisher describes as “a crystallization of the best confessionally Reformed Dutch thought in a single, manageable English-language volume.” The translation is the merger of Gerrit Bilkes’s and Ed M. van der Maas’s separate English translations of the original 1992 Dutch [...]
