The Gospel
Book Review: Announcing the Kingdom, by Arthur F. Glasser
Review by Robin Weekes | 9Marks Journal: Church & Culture | 03.03.2010This book’s message that the whole Bible is not just messianic but also missional is a valuable reminder of Jesus’ great promise to all nations.
Book Review: God in the Dark, by Os Guinness
Review by Patrick Schreiner | 9Marks Journal: Missions | 03.02.2010Guinness has done the church a favor by taking a thoughtful and serious look at doubt and providing biblical answers to tough questions.
Book Review: Crazy Love, by Francis Chan
Review by Patrick Schreiner | 9Marks Journal: Church Discipline (Part 1) | 03.02.2010This book is a useful prod for anyone who treats Christianity as if it only means intellectually assenting to a set of facts, but not something that changes your life.
Book Review: The God-Centered Life: Insights from Jonathan Edwards for Today, by Josh Moody
Review by Andy Davis | 9Marks Journal: Church Discipline (Part 2) | 03.02.2010This book is a cogent and succinct summary of the central themes of the life of Jonathan Edwards, and Moody does his best work applying those themes to our present context.
Book Review: Christians at the Cross, by N. T. Wright
Review by Thomas R. Schreiner | 9Marks Journal: Marriage & Pastors' Wives | 03.02.2010We can be grateful for some of the themes sounded in this book. Still, the lack of urgency about our need to repent and believe in the gospel is a blind-spot in Wright.
Book Review: The Great Exchange, by Jerry Bridges and Bob Bevington
Review by Shane Walker | 9Marks Journal: Church Discipline (Part 2) | 03.02.2010Jerry Bridges and Bob Bevington have invited the church to the lifelong effort of bringing our beliefs in line with the Bible’s teaching on the atonement in all its eternal glory.
Book Review: Surprised by Hope, by N. T. Wright
Review by Thomas R. Schreiner | 9Marks Journal: Marriage & Pastors' Wives | 03.02.2010Wright appeals to many because he is brilliant and fascinating, and some of what he says is helpful. But his failure to emphasize the centrality of the gospel is troubling.
