(I've started moving my older book reviews to the new web site. Some of them are not complete, and the internal links don't work.  I hope to fix this in the weeks to come.)

Why this page exists

I've often thought that many of the books i've read were unlikely to be picked up by most Christians. The reasons for this vary, but include the theological or spiritual disposition of the individual Christian, the title, author, or even the cover of the book in question. This page is an attempt to encourage Christians firstly to read more widely, and to consider theological positions and traditions other than the one they were raised/taught in. A secondary purpose for this list is to encourage me to be more analytical about my reading, and find an articulate expression for my feelings about particular books.

Disclaimer

Most of the books reviewed here are exegetical/theological in nature — my main emphasis in most theological issues is that exegesis comes before everything else.  Nearly all of the books that i recommend have a solid basis in Scripture.  Authors who allow their theological grid to limit their options with respect to interpretation of Scripture passages tend not to rate highly in my book.  Good authors recognise their theological grid and attempt to compensate for it.  This is a large part of the reason for this section - i need to recognise and compensate for my theological grid as well.  Anyway, i hope you find something that benefits you.
