5.5. This post is dedicated to my old roommate, JP. He’s an Arizona Wildcat fan, and I’m a UConn fan. Our teams play each other in the Elite Eight on Saturday, so it’s probably just as well that we aren’t roommates anymore. That, and we’re both married with kids now, and that would be awkward living together…
5. Nick Norelli reviews Sean McDonough’s (coughgogordonconwellcough) new book, Christ as Creator. I took McDonough’s Life of Jesus class, so I heard some of his early thoughts on Christ as creator in the gospels. Looks like a fascinating read. Now if we can do something about that ridiculous price…
4. Keith & Kristyn Getty (of “In Christ Alone” fame) are offering three free hymns for download on their site, until March 31 (I think).
3. The incomparable Marcus has given some helpful thoughts on how to build a theological library– and he’s not talking about making bookshelves. There’s some good advice here. Or you could do what my coblogger, Brian, does and wait until your friends move and “borrow” their books.
2. Brian and I were discussing the other day how the Minor Prophets are perhaps the least preached on portion of Scripture. In his last post, Brian links to a sermon where he tackles a passage in Micah. Cousin Jeremy has also been posting sermons from his church in Syracuse, starting with sermon series from Hosea and Micah. Update: A couple hours after I posted this, Cousin Jeremy posted some sermons from Amos. In fact, he went ahead and made a central location for any more sermon series he will be posting, so you may want to bookmark it.
1. Speaking of preaching, I commend to you Tom Schreiner’s sermons from his church, Clifton Baptist, in KY. He’s been doing a series on Romans for a while now (I think he’s up to 29 sermons and he’s only through chapter 7). You can find a number of other sermon series he’s done, such as Revelation (which I think I’ve linked to before), James, Galatians, etc.
