Here are a couple of new books that I'm looking forward to reading:
What Is Biblical Theology? A Guide to the Bible's Story, Symbolism, and Patterns, Jim Hamilton
The Bible recounts a single story—one that began at creation,
encompasses our lives today, and will continue till Christ’s return and
beyond. In What Is Biblical Theology?, Jim Hamilton introduces
us to this narrative, helping us understand the worldview of the
biblical writers so that we can read the Old and New Testaments as the
original authors intended. Tracing the key patterns, symbols, and themes
that bind the Bible together, this book will help you understand
Scripture’s unified message and find your place in the great story of
redemption.
The Poetic Wonder of Isaac Watts, Douglas Bond
The focus of this next volume in "The Long Line of Godly Men Profile
Series" is upon the preeminent English hymn writer Isaac Watts. In an age
of simplistic and repetitive worship songs, the church must not forget
the Father of English Hymnody. In this profile of the great hymn writer,
Douglas Bond writes that Watts life and words can enrich the lives and
worship of Christians today.
