Evangelical Truth: A Personal Plea for Unity, Integrity & Faithfulness (Christian Doctrine in Global Perspective) is an easy-reading theological book that defines the contours of Evangelical belief.

It’s the last teaching of Jesus that’s recorded in the Gospel of Matthew. Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and [...]

The Drama of Ephesians (IVP, 2010) is an intriguing book that author Timothy Gombis suggests, “Most books (on Ephesians) are either popular treatments or inaccessible scholarly works. My hope is that this book fills that gap between commentary and popular exposition” (Interview with the author from IVP). I would suggest [...]
The Kingdom and the Cross is a very short devotional booklet designed to get the everyday reader to think about spiritual things.

In The Lost World of Genesis One: Ancient Cosmology and the Origins Debate (IVP, 2009), professor John H. Walton writes a very informative book regarding the interpretation of Genesis 1 and the ongoing debate concerning origins.

If you’re a value-conscious book buyer, you owe yourself a copy of Andrew Byers’ Faith Without Illusions: Following Jesus as a Cynic-Saint (IVP Books, 2011). This book packs a bigger wallop than its 211 pages suggest. However, I wouldn’t plan to read it at the beach. Byers addresses serious matters, [...]

There was likely a period after Paul’s conversion to Christianity when he spent considerable time studying the Scriptures (The Law and the Prophets). As a Pharisee, he would have had an extremely high level of knowledge regarding the Word of God. But until his Damscus Road experience it would have [...]
When I first started reading Christ Among the Dragons: Finding Our Way Through Cultural Challenges (James Emery White, InterVarsity Press), I thought it was going to be some massive nay saying of modern church contextualization methods.
