Today, we’ll discuss her view of the New Testament. All totaled this project has been several hours of work. Between reading the book and […]

God-Breathed: A Response to Rachel Held Evans’s View of Scripture – Part 5
Perhaps you’ve made it through the previous four posts(Post 1, Post 2, Post 3, and Post 4) already, or maybe you’re joining us for the first time today. I’ve been taking the time to write out some thoughts on Rachel Held Evans’ (RHE from now on) new book Inspired: Slaying Giants, Walking on Water, and Loving […]
Is the Bible Merely Inspirational or God-Breathed? (Response 3 to Rachel Held Evans’ View of Scripture)
This is Part 3 (Part 1 , Part 2) of a 7 Part response to Rachel Held Evans’s (RHE from here on) new book, Inspired: Slaying Giants, Walking on Water, and Loving the Bible Again. In this post, I want to address the inspiration of Scripture. The Problem In the book, “Inspired,” RHE recounts her story […]
God-Breathed: A Response to Rachel Held Evans’s View of Scripture – Part 2
In the first post on Rachel Held Evans’ (RHE from now on) new book Inspired: Slaying Giants, Walking on Water, and Loving the Bible Again, I exhorted readers to teach the Bible well. In this post, I want to talk about one of RHE’s main issues with the Bible, which is that she does not believe […]
God-Breathed: A Response to Rachel Held Evans’s View of Scripture – Part 1
Why Read and Review this Book? If my memory serves correctly the first time I remember learning about Rachel Held Evans (RHE from here on) was when she appeared on the Today Show in 2012 to talk about her book A Year of Biblical Womanhood. It was fairly obvious to me then that she did […]
Review: Lemuel Haynes, The Black Puritan
Christian biographies are some of the most enjoyable books to read, in my opinion. I love to hear how God saved a man (or woman), and what good work the Lord did in that person’s life, and through that person. The biography of Lemuel Haynes, by Pastor Luke Walker of Redeeming Cross Community Church is a […]
Book Review — God Speed by Chad Bonham
There were two primary things I didn’t know about God Speed before it arrived by parcel. First, it doesn’t center around driver Sage Karam’s struggle following an accident that killed fellow driver Justin Wilson, though the story does occupy a couple of chapters. Much of that story can be found in a recent FCA article, also […]
Book Review — Demons: A Biblically Based Perspective by Alex Konya
I finally got to reading Demons: A Biblically Based Perspective by Alex Konya this year. It only took more than two years since one of the elders at my church gifted it to me, but hey, seminary had me rather busy. You might want to know why exactly I was gifted this book, though. One of […]
Review: The Beginner’s Gospel Story Bible
The Beginner’s Gospel Story Bible is an excellent resource for parents of small children! Positive Review This book is THICK and HEAVY. The pages are strong, able to withstand the awkward turning of toddler hands, which is essential for a book for small children. Each page is a full color illustration. The book is divided […]
Bridging the Knowledge Gap in New Testament Textual Criticism
Textual criticism is the art and science of finding the original wording of a given biblical text when conflicts between manuscripts (“variants”) arise. Much has been written concerning King James Onlyism and its variations’ impact upon unity in the local church, and plenty of books do well to explain the controversy from a sound, overall […]
