Zondervan’s Premier Collection NASB Single Column Reference is a beautiful presentation of God’s Word in the renowned NASB 1995 translation. The materials and typesetting make this a Bible that can compete with similar, more expensive Bibles on the premium market.

Book Review — Kingdom Through Covenant – 2nd Edition

December 11, 2020 by Chuck Ivey

In Kingdom Through Covenant – 2nd Edition, Gentry and Wellum have given us a much needed updated to their seminal work on the biblical covenants. Whether one finds their arguments convincing or not, theologians who argue for or against covenant theology or dispensationalism will eventually have to consider the claims made by the authors.

Book Review — John Calvin: For a New Reformation

November 27, 2020 by Chuck Ivey

Love him or hate him, John Calvin remains “The Theologian” who is often dismissed, pigeonholed, or lionized without actually being read. In John Calvin: For a New Reformation, editors Derek Thomas and John Tweedale ask us to reconsider Calvin.

Book Review — Carl F.H. Henry – Architect of Evangelicalism and Basics of the Faith

November 14, 2020 by Chuck Ivey

Both Architect of Evangelicalism and Basics of the Faith are significant works, centering around the question of what it means to be an “evangelical.” In them, Henry has given us ample evidence that the best of the evangelical movement stands in the great tradition or orthodox Christianity, while also having much to say to the ultimate needs of modern man.

Received Into the Number: A Theology of Adoption Part IX- Wilhelmus à Brakel’s Doctrine of Adoption

October 30, 2020 by Chuck Ivey

As a theologian in the Puritan tradition, Wilhelmus à Brakel was part of a movement which developed the doctrine of adoption as an experiential reality, not merely an academic theory.

Book Review — Thriving in Grace: Twelve Ways the Puritans Fuel Spiritual Growth

September 14, 2020 by Chuck Ivey

Thriving in Grace is a worthy introduction to the riches that the Puritans have to offer. The authors have a contagious urgency to draw on the many practical helps from Puritan writings.

Received Into the Number: A Theology of Adoption Part VIII- John Calvin’s Doctrine of Adoption

September 2, 2020 by Chuck Ivey

In this series, we have been looking at what God’s Word says about adoption as both an earthly call to care for orphans and as a picture of how He saves undeserving sinners in need of a right relationship with Him. You can read Parts I, II,  III, IV, V, VI, and VII here. In […]

Book Review — The Jesus of the Gospels: An Introduction

August 24, 2020 by Chuck Ivey

Book Review — The Story Retold: A Biblical-Theological Introduction to the New Testament

August 1, 2020 by Chuck Ivey

New Testament introductions can be an invaluable tool for the student of the Bible. They typically provide a starting point for teachers and students of the Bible to go into more depth. More detailed than notes in a study Bible, but not as specific as a commentary, introductions fill an important gap.

Book Review — Schuyler Quentel ESV black goatskin

Book Review — NIGTC: The Epistle of James – A Commentary on the Greek Text

July 2, 2020 by Chuck Ivey

Originally published in 1982, Peter H. David’s work in the NIGTC: The Epistle of James – A Commentary on the Greek Text is far from being outdated. Those who are serious about seeking to understand what the Letter of James teaches about wisdom, faith, and justification should consider picking this volume up and making it a part of their theological library.

Book Review — ESV Omega Thinline Bible

Book Review — Theoretical-Practical Theology, Vol 2: Faith in the Triune God

April 24, 2020 by Chuck Ivey

Like the proverbial Eskimo with 100 words for snow, Petrus van Mastricht was a theologian with countless ways to describe faith and the Triune God we are called to place our faith in.

Book Review — Canon, Covenant, and Christology: Rethinking Jesus and the Scriptures of Israel

April 13, 2020 by Chuck Ivey

How far should professing Christians go in pursuit of unity? When and how should we disagree with each other? Are there ever circumstances when we should break fellowship? The thorough look into church history in The Story of Creeds and Confessions serves as a helpful reminder to seek and speak the truth humbly and in love.

Book Review — When Wright is Wrong: A Reformed Baptist Critique of N.T. Wright’s New Perspective on Paul

March 4, 2020 by Chuck Ivey

When Wright is Wrong is a significant contribution to the growing list of critical responses to NT Wright and the “New Perspective on Paul.” The author’s stated goal was to offer a critique of NPP from the Reformed Baptist perspective but anyone wishing to better understand and defend the “old perspective” can benefit from this book.
