Jesus Creed

Announcement: Book Reviews, too!

Saturday November 21, 2009

Library.jpgWe will soon begin Saturday Afternoon Book Reviews, a new section at the Jesus Creed blog where we will have 3000 word reviews (1500 word summary; 1500 word interaction). Most of these will be written by you or by solicited reviewers.

So, today I put forth this request: Which books would you like to see reviewed? 

We can get a free copy of the book and send it on to the reviewer, but the question we have today is "Which books?"

Oh, I thought the annoucement was going to be that you decided to leave BeliefNet :-)

How about "Whose Community, Which Interpretation". Good book on hermeneutics.

The Naked Gospel by Andrew Farley. I'd be interested in hearing this group wrestle with his presentation of the gospel in light of all of our conversations about it. It's a popular work, not academic.

Would a small publisher dare make a suggestion? I publish Dr. David Alan Black's book "The Jesus Paradigm." I think it might be of interest to other readers here.

Eric Seibert's Disturbing Divine Behavior: Troubling Old Testament Images of God (Fortress, 2009). Its frank look at a real problem stretches one's paradigms!
