This is the first of what I hope will be a series, which will consist of one post I'll put up near the end of each year. I'll mention some books I'm looking forward to that are due out the following year, and anybody who's interested can add their own books they're looking forward to in the comments section of the thread. You don't have to be expecting to agree with everything in the book or even most of what's in it. These are just new books, coming out next year, that you think are worth getting for whatever reason. And you don't have to be exhaustive. You can mention one, two, or however many you want. I'm hoping these posts will help us be more aware of what books are coming out and to make better plans about which books to get, which to read, in what order, and so on.
I'll just mention a few I'm looking forward to, to start things out. John Piper is publishing a book on providence. Lydia McGrew's book on the gospel of John, The Eye Of The Beholder, is supposed to come out next year. So is Stephen Carlson's book on Papias.
Dr. Kenneth Gentry's "The Divorce of Israel: A Redemptive-Historical Interpretation of Revelation." I really look forward to this 1800 page commentary. It will be the best from a preterist position.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to Lydia Mcgrew's new book, but also Peter J. Leithart's Baptism: A Guide from Life to Death and Craig Keener's Miracles Today, both releasing mid-2021.
ReplyDeleteCurrently reading "The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self" by Carl Trueman and it's incredibly good. Not my usual genre, but excellent.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes I realize it's not a yet-future book, but this just means you don't need to wait!
This is the book that I am interested in reading for 2021. I just had a brief altercation with someone on twitter who claimed that all scientists are atheists. I replied back and said that, that might be true only scientists in Western nations because they are products of the Enlightenment. (I'm originally from India, and I have never met a scientist from there who was not religious or at least did not acknowledge a higher power(s).
DeleteThese sorts of convos is where Trueman's book would come in and help.
What a strange attempt at an argument. You can find articles talking about opposition to Francis Collins when he became a member of the British Royal Society and when he became the head of the National Institutes of Health. Someone wants to argue that because a group that is hostile to overt religious beliefs lacks overtly religious people is an argument against religious beliefs? And for articles (I'm sure more than one do it) trumpeting science is all about following the truth wherever it lies, it seems they've 1) decided where it doesn't lie and 2) can't be bothered to even speak honestly about Collins (they say Collins believed in God when he saw a waterfall, which isn't even just a bad paraphrase).
Delete"Tue Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self" sounded familiar, went and bought it. Sounds handy.
