On the Bible
|
 |
The Historical Reliability of the Gospels
Craig L. Blomberg
List: $24.00 ... WTS $15.60
Keller says: "This makes the case that the Biblical account of Jesus is not legend but historically trustworthy. Blomberg incorporates insights from Richard Bauckham's Jesus and the Eyewitnesses, an important work but much longer and more difficult to read."

Surprised by Hope:
Rethinking Heaven, the Resurrection, and the Mission of the Church
N. T. Wright
List: $24.95 ... WTS $16.22
Keller says: "It's always a little dangerous to recommend a book I haven't read yet, but I suggest it because it is basically a shorter and more accessible summary of his bigger classic The Resurrection of the Son of God (see below), which is wonderful but very long and academic."

The Resurrection of the Son of God
N. T. Wright
List: $39.00 ... WTS $25.35
N. T. Wright's modern classic, already considered by many to be the best book on the background, meaning, and historicity of the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ ever written. This book is the theological and historical foundation for the more popular-level Surprised by Hope (see above)

Turning Points (2nd Edition):
Decisive Moments in the History of Christianity
Mark A. Noll
List: $21.99 ... WTS $14.29
Keller says: "This is maybe the best, short, accessible overview of Christian history. It doesn't try to survey every century, but chooses 10 major turning points (the split between the eastern and western church c.1000AD, the Reformation, the Great Awakening, etc)."

Till We Have Built Jerusalem:
Architecture, Urbanism, and the Sacred
Phillip Bess
