F.F. Bruce’s New Testament Development of Old Testament Themes is a key work in the field of showing how the New Testament employ the Old Testament. While a small book, and not easy to read (unlike Bruce’s other books), Bruce traces the Messianic themes of the Old Testament and shows how the Gospels finish the story that the Old Testament tells about exile, God’s return, the victory of the Lord, etc. I still regard Bruce to be the greatest New...

One of the most valuable books on the Bible is Alleged Discrepancies of the Bible by John Haley. The book is so helpful that I included it in my Best 100 Christian Books Ever Written list. This is a remarkable book. It shows, clearly, that virtually every alleged contradiction in Scripture is not a real discrepancy at all. I first discovered it when I was debating atheists in my early 20s. The book was an enormous resource in that... Read more

Robert Hutchinson has come out with a new book entitled The Dawn of Christianity. The subtitle is “How God Used Simple Fishermen, Soldiers, and Prostitutes to Transform the World.” The book tells the story of how the first followers of Jesus survived the terror and despair of witnessing the one they knew to be the messiah—God’s agent for the salvation of the world—suddenly arrested, tried, and executed. Soon after Jesus’ death, his relatives and closest followers began hearing reports that... Read more
Update: This post was written in 2013. I don’t keep up with Mr. Bieber, so I don’t know what his present views are regarding Christ. Unfortunately, some people will confess faith in Christ only to deny Him later by their words or actions. My hope is that Mr. Bieber is still trusting in Christ during the time you read this post, but since I don’t follow his life or work, I have no idea. What is written below was current... Read more
Greg Koukl has come out with a new book entitled The Story of Reality: How the World Began, How It Ends, and Everything Important that Happens in Between. How’s that for an all-inclusive title? I caught up with Greg recently to discuss his new book. Enjoy! Instead of asking, “What is your book about?” I’m going to ask the question that’s behind that question. And that unspoken question is, “How are readers going to benefit from reading your book?” Greg... Read more
Sometimes people will ask me what my top five books were – those that have influenced my life and ministry the most. Juicing down all the books that have had an impact on me to just five is no small challenge. Especially in view of my Best 100 Christian Books Ever Written List. After giving it some thought, however, I came up with these. Keep in mind that each one has a tie-breaker to match it! 1. The Normal Christian Life 2. The... Read more
I once spoke at a conference in Kentucky. I delivered 3 messages on God’s Favorite Place on Earth. Those messages gave the people who attended the conference an early peek at the book by the same name. It was the first time I shared the content of the book. After one of the sessions of the conference, one of the young men in the audience announced that he had just written a song in his motel room during the afternoon... Read more
