Iconoblog

If he is a must read i will read him in the not to distant future.
Am reading Brian Edwards commentary on the 10 commandments at the moment (Dayone Publications)
If anything other than the Bible is a must read this book is.

"Any recommendations of similar material?"

I would be very interested to know what you would make of Peter Leithart's Against Christianity.

Another recommendation? If you want a stimulating read you couldn't go wrong with The Hauerwas Reader. If you follow the link you will find that it is a giveaway at the price. It is not quite the same subject, but any excuse to introduce people to Hauerwas is worth taking. You will frequently disagree with him, but you will always find him thought-provoking.

And James, CVT is a must-read!

Interesting isn't it... how names mean so much in Christian circles. I mean by mentioning Calvin (Calvinism), Wesley (Wesleyan), Armaud (Amyraldianism - never quite got this one?) etc. people can make instant judgements.

For example, if you wanted to write a book on "Election" and were named James Wimber... it would never sell. Or if you wanted to write a book entitled "Worship" and were called Jocelyn Calvin it would never sell either.

Henry van Til I have never heard of? Maybe he worked in the first Aldi store? Nevermind.

The Passion? Watch this space - I have been doing some thinking for a few days, but the more I think, the more I feel I should write.

Will try to keep it concise, but I doubt whether I will succeed - other thing is that I have started making notes from books, blogs and articles, and have no idea where half of my quotes comes from. C'est la vie!

Thanks for the feedback on Jonah - surprised anyone remembers that series. Did you hear it at Sandfields?

Of course, Henry Van Til... That was a tragic typo showing how closely I read Blogs. I can say the same about HVT.
The Native Tourist is right. Henry Van Til was indeed Cornelius Van Tils nephew and did lecture at Calvin College... shame I couldn't get it right the first time.

When are you going to post something about the Passion?

P.S. Just finished listening to your sermons on Jonah. Thanks.

Indeed - but the kudos of the Van Til name piques my interest...

I am also relatively certain that his approach will contain much food for thought.

Note: this book is by Henry Van Til, Cornelius' nephew, I believe. He was a prof at Calvin College in the 50s.

Never read the book but have been recommended countless books by CVT (as I like to call him) I hear he writes well.
Thanks for the recommendation of "Darwins Black Box"... will look into borrowing it off a scientist in our Church (of which there are plenty)

Any recommendations of similar material?

It's a good book from what I remember from skimming through it a few years back.
