With CCBCY semester finished, Tasha, Isa and I are all in visiting our family in Washington. A trip to the USA always includes new books, and here are the first fruits that were waiting for me when we arrived. Thanks to Alban, Fortress Press, and Hendrickson for providing review copies of the below books.

It’s On!
Many thanks to HarperCollins UK and Kuperard for providing review copies of Ehrman’s How Jesus Became God and Bird’s (and co.) How God Became Jesus.
Many thanks to Alban books in the UK and Kregel publishers for sending a copy of Jesus the Messiah by Bateman, Bock, and Johnston. I look forward to reviewing this as some homework for my Christ & the Cross class that I hope to do again next semester.
My good friend and fellow teacher at Calvary Chapel Bible College York, Randy McCracken, has just released a book resulting from his 10+ years teaching 1 & 2 Samuel called Family Portraits: Character Studies in 1 and 2 Samuel. This book has a unique blend of academic rigour and devotional warmth. Unlike many character studies, it is firmly grounded in the text and insights spring from in-depth study (rather than imagination and/or speculation).

This post is long overdue, since I’ve read and written reviews of both Dominion and Dynasty and Paul and Judaism Revisited! But I like to a) keep readers up to date, and b) keep publishers in the loop with the books that I’ve received so that everything is above board.
