| The Worship of the English Puritans by Horton Davies Binding: Paperback |
Summary: A largely academic approach in examining the history of Puritan worship, but very thorough and informative on several critical issues surrounding worship and the Word of God. This is a much needed work in our day.
I give this book 4 stars out of 5.

| Preaching the Whole Bible as Christian Scripture by Graeme Goldsworthy Binding: Paperback Publisher: Eerdmans |
In Preaching the Whole Bible as Christian Scripture, Graeme Goldworthy sets forth a very clear agenda, an agenda reflected in the title, and one that serves as the main thesis of the book from beginning to end:
“The aim of this book is to provide a handbook for preachers that will help them apply a consistently Christ-centered approach to their sermons.”
Very simply put about what Goldsworthy means when he says ‘Christ-centered approach’, Goldsworthy emphasizes that all of scripture and redemptive history testify and point to Jesus Christ, and therefore, “Jesus is the interpretive key to the Bible”.
I give it 4 out of 5 stars.

| Biblical Theology by John OwenThe History of Theology from Adam to Christ Binding: Hardcover |
Overall, I give this book 4 stars out of 5. The length and detail of the work will prove way too much for it to be profitable to anyone but the serious student, and this is to be somewhat lamented.
