In the realm of Christian eschatology there are three primary schools of thought: premillennialism, postmillennialism, and amillennialism (with dispensational premillennialism serving as a sort of fourth). In this short pamphlet (at ~56 pgs I hesitate to call it more than that) author Duane Garner makes his case regarding the issue. The argument being presented in … Continue reading Book Review: Why The End Is Not Near – By Duane Garner
In the wake of the Enlightenment it became more and more clear as people began to try and doubt everything that there was to doubt, that eventually one runs into a dilemma, either to doubt their-self away or to posit some first principles, some axiom, some presupposition. We have become more and more self-aware from … Continue reading Book Review: The Universe Next Door – By James W. Sire
Biblical Economics is, just as the title would lead you to believe, an explanation of just what Scripture puts forth as a guide for the economic process. The author notes that the Bible is not an economics textbook, yet the truths set forth therein still have some applicability to that realm of study. As the … Continue reading Book Review: Biblical Economics – By R.C. Sproul Jr.
In the realm of counseling books, Dr. Larry Crabb is quickly becoming a favorite author of mine. This is the second book which I've read by him. I picked it up one evening planning on doing some light reading before bed and ended reading the book through in one sitting, simply because I didn't want … Continue reading Book Review: Hope When You’re Hurting – By Larry Crabb & Dan Allender
My first exposure to Michael Horton came through reading essays of his online. This text counts as the first full book which I read by him, and it came highly recommended. Introducing Covenant Theology is, as the title so aptly puts it, Michael Horton's introductory text to the idea of Covenant Theology. Horton begins his … Continue reading Book Review: Introducing Covenant Theology – By Michael Horton
Christianity & Liberalism is what might be rightly called the pinnacle of the Christian defence for orthodoxy. The landscape in which the book falls into is one of increasing religious Liberalism, a movement which overtook Christianity in the years following the Enlightenment up through the early Twentieth Century (and even into the present) in the … Continue reading Book Review: Christianity & Liberalism – By J. Gresham Machen
Postmodernism is an idea that is [intentionally] ill-defined and poorly understood, both by those who call themselves postmoderns and by those who attack them. One of the groups which has set its sights on postmodernism in recent years is the Christian church, which has had no shortage of condemnations for it. Granted, we may also … Continue reading Book Review: Who’s Afraid of Postmodernism? – By James K. A. Smith
Dorothy L. Sayers is an author whom I sorta randomly stumbled upon. I had seen her books in the library, and had heard this book mentioned once in a lecture, but had never read her and had never really heard much about her. However as I started looking around at information on her my curiosity … Continue reading Book Review: Creed or Chaos? – By Dorothy L. Sayers
There are few books which I am more indebted to than Chesterton's Orthodoxy. I think I may say with some certainty that it is the book which spurned me to think critically about my faith, to delve into the pool that is theology. The book is what one might call the second in a series, preceded … Continue reading Book Review: Orthodoxy – By G.K. Chesterton
Icame across this book as one of the required readings for an introduction of world thought. If one is looking for a introduction to philosophy, a survey of philosophical ideas or a history of philosophy text there are certainly no shortage of them in print. Some of them are more in depth than others (though … Continue reading Book Review: Looking at Philosophy – By Donald Palmer
