This week WTS’s book sale (thru 8/14/07) is all about Biblical Theology. If I still had book allowance money, I’d pick up the books by Graeme Goldsworthy, particularly According to Plan. I’ve been wanting to spend some time with his books.
I strongly recommend Mark Strom’s Symphony of Scripture. It is a great book that traces some of the major themes of Scripture to their fulfillment in Christ.
There are other notable books there including: As Far As the Curse is Found, Poythress’ The Shadow of Christ in the Law of Moses, and Vos’ Redemptive History and Biblical Interpretation. This is a great time to stockpile books to better understand Biblical Theology.
Among the new books available is one that is instantly on my Wish List. I may have to break down and buy it out of my personal funds. That book is the latest collaboration by Dan Allender and Tremper Longman III- Breaking the Idols of Your Heart: How to Navigate the Temptations of Life. I have found all of their previous books together to be immensely helpful in understanding my heart and God’s gospel. Being an idol factory (Calvin), I could really use all the help the gospel offers in repenting of my idols, and the creation of them. I’m trusting you know something about that. If not- probably all the more reason to read this book.
And to what idols might you be referring?
The Pats? The Bosox? The Celtics?
I read Bold Love years ago and really enjoyed reading it.
Well, part of it.
They tore me up badly for half of that book, showing me how cold my heart was.
Don’t know if you remember me playing for the Celtics or not. I finished in the mid to late 70’s…
