Theology That Bites Back
This category contains the resources that I have found useful in my personal and professional life. Admittedly, it is an eclectic list. It contains everything from quotes and books that I like to podcasts, videos, and slideshows.
Well, sort of a commentary. The subtitle for this book is descriptive enough: “Sermon Notes on the Book of Romans.” A few years ago, I preached a series of 65 sermons through this magisterial book, and some time after that I put them all together in a big file and went through it all with …
My book choice this month is a title with (I assume) limited interest. But since that limited interest group is made up of writers and would-be writers, and because everybody in that group is a sucker for books about books, and books about how to write them, I thought it would be worthwhile to tell …

Introduction: First a word on the curious title for the sermon. In the American colonial era, ministers used to preach sermons to prepare congregants for their civic duties at election time, ...
This month my selection is a book that has been on my shelves for quite a while, but which I recently pulled down and read. Calvin’s Company of Pastors is a fascinating social history that records how Reformed pastoral ministry first took root in Geneva, and how it flourished there in the decades following. I …
