Words of Authority (Scholar’s Compass)

February 12, 2017 by Deryck Chan No Comments

In large engineering projects such as the construction sites I work on, engineers rely on documents issued by others to make decisions and build things under time constraint. A “for construction” stamp and the author’s initials on a drawing assure us that the design is ready for construction, and that we can contact the engineer for further advice.

Book Response: The Courage to Be Protestant, by David F. Wells

June 14, 2016 by Tom Grosh IV 2 Comments

Overall I appreciate that instead of attempting to summarize and update fifteen years of intense writing (including five Eerdmans publications); Wells delivered the essence of his work. But I wished from the beginning that he included a limited number of footnotes and/or recommendations for further reading beyond references to his previous titles.

Book Review: Abusing Scripture

November 6, 2015 by Bob Trube No Comments

In “Abusing Scripture,” the author explores the different ways we misread the Bible and consequently interpret and apply it in ways that abuse both the intent of the text, and sadly, in some cases the people with whom we apply these texts.

Surely the Lord Was in the Rare Books Room, Part 2 (Scholar’s Compass)

June 28, 2015 by Paul Yandle No Comments

Christians in university settings can all too often find in the church and in academe two cultures that lead us to discouragement. The most uptight Pharisees can miss Christ just as easily as the most ardent skeptics by failing to see the God that they have misdefined in the first place.
