Good afternoon, and welcome to the world of Christian Academics at CBD. I have been trying to think of way to make posts on this blog a little more consistent. It dawned on me that I have used the blog only for “big” posts such as interviews, book reviews, etc. But there is so much [...]

Buying gifts for those who study can be quite difficult. If you are trying to give a gift that will add to their research or simply pique their interests you must be, to some extent, familiar with literature that you might otherwise know nothing about.

In part two (read part one) of our interview with N.T.

Earlier this week Michael Horton’s review of the N.T. Wright’s new book After You Believe: Why Christian Character Matters appeared on the Christianity Today website (it was available in CT print version earlier this month).

Wheaton College’s annual Theology conference seems to get better year by year, and 2010 looks to be the best yet. N.T. Wright is the keynote speaker, with Richard Hays and Kevin Vanhoozer also participating. That’s a great lineup.

Ephesians Like Acts, the Epistle to the Ephesians is a NT book that has yet to receive definitive treatment. While unfortunate, we are nevertheless served well by the Pillar series (which stands as the most chosen series in my NT list) and the work of prolific commentator Peter T. O’Brien: The Letter to the Ephesians. [...]
