I just bought the Logos version (electronic, readable via Logos or any of its several sister programs) of The Expositor’s Bible Commentary for $129.99. The same books on Amazon
would cost $549.99 or more.
I’ve not had occasion to use this commentary before, but I recognize the authors, and it is a very impressive list.
I also just found the Kindle version of N. T. Wright’s Simply Christian: Why Christianity Makes Sense
for $2.99. At that price, if you don’t already own the book, there is no choice. You … must … buy … and … read … this … book! It’s an incredible read — and it’s not only influenced my writing, it’s opened up avenues of Bible study that I may have never found on my own. (I didn’t buy it because I already have it in hardback and have read it at least twice.)
And I just bought the Kindle version of N. T. Wright’s The Kingdom New Testament: A Contemporary Translation
for $2.99. I’m sure I’ll find this useful as I compare translations of key passages in future posts.
About Jay F Guin
My name is Jay Guin, and I’m a retired elder. I wrote The Holy Spirit and Revolutionary Grace about 18 years ago. I’ve spoken at the Pepperdine, Lipscomb, ACU, Harding, and Tulsa lectureships and at ElderLink.
My wife’s name is Denise, and I have four sons, Chris, Jonathan, Tyler, and Philip. I have two grandchildren. And I practice law.
Speaking of kindle books, Jay I’m dying to get your take on a new book from my non-institutional corner of the church. “Conviction versus Mercy” by Gardner Hall is getting a lot of attention as an important and challenging book among the non-institutional crowd. It is a fascinating excercise in challenging the status quo while at the same time fighting to keep it firmly in place. It would be extremely helpful to a lot of frustrated people to hear you critique it. It’s relatively short and costs $ 0.99.
