BOOK: Church History in Plain Language by Bruce L. Shelley

REVIEW SUMMARY: Decent overview in very easy language.

MY RATING: [rating:4]

OVERVIEW: A basic overview of church history in readable English, good to read and helpful but only a primer on a very complicated subject. Definitely pick it up if you're looking to do research or plan to teach and need some refreshers.

THE BOTTOM LINE: Perfect introduction to church history, easily accessible with plenty of references to introduce the reader to further study.

 
Teaching As Paul Taught PDF Print E-mail

REVIEW SUMMARY: Biblically strong, a perfect reference tool for those who want to categorize Paul's teaching methods and apply to their own methods.

MY RATING: [rating:5]

OVERVIEW: Roy Zuck follows his classic Teaching as Jesus Taught with a focus on St. Paul (Teach ing as Paul Taught). Zuck makes sure to focus on Scripture and from there draw any and all conclusions.

THE BOTTOM LINE: Biblically focused to draw any conclusions about Paul's teaching, the book is an excellent resource and deserves a place on a teacher's shelf if he/she needs Paul's teaching labeled and categorized. Otherwise, the long lists might make some weary in reading. Definitely recommended, but know what you're buying.

Once again, I AM going to post spoilers with wild and callous abandon so you've been duly warned.

I don’t usually like dramatized audio Bibles. I like to follow the text and picture it in my head—be it the narrative, the poetry or the argument. But when I came across this upcoming audio Bible (HT: Lingamesh) I got absurdly excited. Samuel Jackson. Denzel Washington. Eartha Kitt! Some folk will raise the banner and call summon the jihad—it’s inevitable. Personally, I’m dying to hear it. Here’s the full cast (PDF) and here’s an audio link.
