Building a Biblical and Theological Library? Here Are (Another) 4 More Books to Add to the Shelves

1/17/2023

In the past I've written a couple of short posts advocating the idea of building a biblical and theological "library" of books — a shelf (or shelves) with trusted books that can relied on to guide you in reading the Bible and navigating theological topics. (Click here and here to see the first two posts in what is now apparently a series!)

Some of these are books to read straight through; others are books to keep handy as reference books and turn to on an as-needed basis. All of them are worthwhile.

I'm still a fan of the books I recommended in the earlier posts — even as I now figure it's time to add a few more books to the list. If you're looking to slowly start building (or adding) to a biblical and theological library yourself, here are four books to add to the shelf:

Bible

40 Questions About Interpreting the Bible, 2nd ed. (Robert L. Plummer)

Theological Method

Finding the Right Hills to Die On: The Case for Theological Triage (Gavin Ortlund)

Theology

50 Core Truths of the Christian Faith: A Guide to Understanding and Teaching Theology (Gregg R. Allison)

Theology

Christian Theology: The Biblical Story and Our Faith (Christopher W. Morgan, with Robert A. Peterson)

How can evangelical scholars and apologists believe that they can be objective evaluating the historical evidence for the Resurrection when they believe that they can perceive the presence of the resurrected Jesus living within them? Evangelicals may love to discuss the inner presence of Christ among themselves, but not with skeptics. Not at all!

There is one question that evangelical apologists dread to be asked when debating a skeptic: "Do you perceive the presence of the resurrected Jesus within you?"
