Nijay Gupta’s Top Books for 2013

My good friend Nijay Gupta has his list of top books for 2013. Includes books by some good friends of mine like Brian Rosner, Paul and the Law and Alan Stanley (ed.), Four Views on the Role of Works at the Final Judgment, and Scot McKnight’s commentary on The Sermon On the Mount.

Lucky for me that I made it on his list in a very specific category:

Best Systematic Theology Introduction Written by a Red-Headed Australian Reformed New Testament Scholar

As luck would have it, a perfect choice presented itself this year – Mike Bird’s Evangelical Theology! Apparently it has been very well received and some are pitching it as a healthy alternative to Grudem (I am all for that!). Love to see the theology-Biblical Studies cross-pollination. Also, never hurts to have a touch of humor. Way to go, Mike.
