At somewhere over 50 books reviewed, after starting in the March timeframe, the sheer number of pages and topics are staggering. Admittedly, these are my Top 5. They are controversial, thought provoking, and utterly excellent for what I needed this year.
The month of October was pretty crazy. I constantly felt behind on my reading schedule (Sorry IVP, I've got a ton coming your way in November!). I probably felt behind because I was constantly involved with good books. That said, this huge book list had reviews published during the month of October despite a couple of them being read with reviews written prior to the month of October. So buckle up, this one is long (as always, book titles are links to full length reviews).
In conclusion, Alistair Stewart does a magnificent job of laying out his case in The Original Bishops. This is a highly technical work and much of it was well past my knowledge or ability to render scholarly judgment.
The month of August was a pretty good book reading month. Buckle up. Get some coffee. Check out these summaries and the full length reviews.
I've had the privilege to review The Inspiration and Interpretation of Scripture (Baker Academic) and Why Church History Matters (IVP Academic). Both books were great encouragements and refreshing reminders of why I read so much in the first place.
Apostolic Fathers is an outstanding resource for those interested in studying the early church fathers and their important documents. Despite being little more than an introduction, the outlines and evaluation of important imagery facilitate great progress for personal study.
he New Testament and Ethics is a valuable and brief resource. It seems best suited for classroom teaching and education. However the purposeful brevity minimizes the consultation value for extensive study in any particular New Testament book.
