In My Place Condemned He Stood: Celebrating the Glory of the Atonement
J. I. Packer

Crossway Books, 2008

Mandatory Reading for Pastors
Last week I received a copy of In My Place Condemned He Stood in the mail. And, as is my habit, I read the introduction and the endorsements; my only problem was, I could not put it down. The forward is by Ligon Duncan, Al Mohler, Mark Dever and CJ Mahaney. They explain in their piece that upon a series of lengthy discussions on great books and articles on the atonement they dreamed together ...

On Being a Theologian of the Cross: Reflections on Luther's Heidelberg Disputation, 1518 (Theology)

18 reviews
Gerhard O. Forde, Martin Luther

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1997

The Love of God . . . Creates
"The Love of God does not first discover but creates what is pleasing to it." Thesis 28. My dog-eared copy of this book got that way through reading it during my daily commutes on the train through Heidelberg, Germany, where Luther delivered his Disputation in front of his Augustinian Order. As an Army Chaplain, and familiar with much suffering, I've found deep solace in knowing that ...

Living the Cross Centered Life: Keeping the Gospel the Main Thing

11 reviews
C.J. Mahaney

Multnomah Books, 2006

Great work...
This book is truly a great one as C.J. Mahaney brings it all back to the cross. A lot of this book includes previous works, "The Cross Centered Life" and "Christ Our Mediator." I also had just listened to C.J.'s sermon from the 2005 Resolved Conference called "Interrogating the Legalist Within" so most of this was review. But if you have yet to read or listen to these, please pick this little ...

Saving Paradise: How Christianity Traded Love of This World for Crucifixion and Empire

4 reviews
Rita Nakashima Brock, Rebecca Ann Parker

Beacon Press, 2008

Innovative nostalgia
Where does new hope come from? Often from remembering what has been lost. As a work of Christian historical theology, this is one of the most important books of the current generation. It does what a great theologian once called 'epochal thinking' about how Christianity MUST, in an era of environmental crisis and religious conflict, recover the theological sensibility that marked the first ...

John R. W. Stott

InterVarsity Press, 2006

Great book on penal substitution
John R.W. Stott is an Anglican clergyman from Britain. In 2005, he was purported by Time magazine as one of the "100 Most Influential People in the World." He has written some 50 books, and The Cross of Christ was called, by its publisher, InterVarsity Press, "The work of a lifetime, from one of the world's most influential thinkers, about the heart of the Christian faith." The 20th Anniversary ...

Recovering the Scandal of the Cross: Atonement in New Testament & Contemporary Contexts

4 reviews
Joel B. Green, Mark D. Baker

InterVarsity Press, 2000

A book that opens a much needed discussion...
The book offers a critique of the penal substitution model of atonement. Penal substitution is found through evangelical theology, and enjoys wide popularity today (see for example Christianity Today's "Call for Unity" of June 14th for a list of theologians and authors who consent to this view). The book begins with an examination of the various "models" or "ways of speaking about atonement" ...

Jesus in Kashmir, The Lost Tomb

Booksurge, 2007

The Newest Research About Jesus' Life After the Crucifixion is Incredible
As a lifetime resident of Kashmir,and author of several books about the life of Jesus in Kashmir, I have devoted my life to research into the tomb of Roza Bal.I feel this book will help change the world. The references, the words, and the thoughts are about the real story of Jesus, written by his decendent. Here you will follow the family sagas as they roamed between worlds. What had ...

The Crucified God: The Cross of Christ As the Foundation and Criticism of Christian Theology

6 reviews
Jurgen Moltmann

Augsburg Fortress Publishers, 1993

Entering into the Passion of This World
Moltmann wrote the Crucified God (1974, English translation) in reaction to certain (specifically N. American) misunderstandings of his earlier work, Theology of Hope (1965). Moltmann's chief concern in The Crucified God was to rescue the hope of the resurrection from any confusion with the officially optimistic culture of modern capitalist society. He does this by reminding his audience that ...

The Atonement: Its Meaning and Significance

5 reviews
Leon Morris

InterVarsity Press, 1984

The standard work on the atonement
There are some books that do such a wonderful job covering a single biblical concept that you wonder, why would anyone else want to write on the topic? I believe Bible scholar Leon Morris has accomplished such a fete with his book on atonement. Although not a skim-through kind of book that might appeal to all Christian laypeople, it is not difficult to read this book word by word and come away ...

Plexus: The Rosy Crucifixion II

10 reviews
Henry Miller

Grove Press, 1994

not for everyone
This book (this whole trilogy) is not for everyone. Before anyone considers reading this, they should first check "Tropic of Cancer" - probably twice. Once done, consider picking this up. Only pick it up if you loved "Tropic." Personally, I found the trilogy a lot harder to digest and a lot slower going. Conversely, I found it times more rewarding. If you feel like you have something to ...

Jesus after the Crucifixion: From Jerusalem to Rennes-le-Château

5 reviews
Graham Simmans

Bear & Company, 2007

The Real Da Vinci Code
This was a bombshell of a book -- it goes way beyond The da Vinci Code (book) and since I have personally investigated the Rennes-le-Chateau issue for several years, I was amazed at the accuracy of his info and also pleased that he didn't compromise the remaining secrets that need to be protected to this day. Eventually the Truth will come out, however, and this book will help prepare people to ...

Raising Abel: The Recovery of Eschatological Imagination

3 reviews
James Alison

The Crossroad Publishing Company, 1996

re-constructing our view
J. Alison offers the view of faith from the side of the victims. He guides us through a tour of our preconceptions an all other ideas we take for granted, without even analizing them to see if they are contradictory. It is critical of violence, not only the one we recognize as such, but also the violence of our high and mighty motality, and of our socially accepted ways of excluding those we fail ...

Sexus: The Rosy Crucifixion I

Henry Miller

Grove Press, 1994

"...full of experience, full of mystery..."
This is one of the first books I really read. Perhaps the one that started me on the path of really reading and contemplating. Or as Henry put it - "It was there like a rusty nail in a log thrown up on a deserted beach during a wintry storm. I can't express it better. You walk along the beach, the air is tangy, your spirits are high, you think clearly -- not always brilliantly -- but clearly. ...

The Crucifixion of Ministry: Surrendering Our Ambitions to the Service of Christ

5 reviews
Andrew Purves

IVP Books, 2007

Essential Reading for Pastors (and parishioners)
This is one of the best books I've ever read on ministry. If you're looking for tips and techniques, this is not the book for you. However, there is nothing as practical as a good theory. Purves presents a solid theology of ministry. The beginning point is a recognition that everything worthwhile that happens in ministry is done by the reigning King, Jesus Christ. Our clever programs and ...

The Day I Was Crucified: As Told by Jesus Christ

Gene Edwards

Destiny Image Publishers, 2004

Awesome Book!
To all of those reviews saying it didn't match up with the Gospel, I would like to point out this is obviously a FICTIONAL novel. Of course we don't know what Jesus was actually thinking, but this book takes a look into what he MAY have thought. I loved it. Very easy to read. I liked the short chapters. I have an infant and love to read, so these chapters were great; I could read a few then ...

Fida Hassnain

Blue Dolphin Publishing, 2006

He Who Lives in Kashmir Knows Kashmir Best
It was after reading Professor Hassnain's book that I decided to go to Kashmir and see this "grave of Jesus" for myself. What began as a short excursion became almost a year in Kashmir and is now a lifetime passion. His evidence was so overwhelming and his reserach so thorough, that it draws one in. That is scholarship at its very finest. I remained in Kashmir nearly a year. As I delved ...

In the Fullness of Time: A Historian Looks at Christmas, Easter, and the Early Church

9 reviews
Paul L. Maier

Kregel Publications, 1998

A Must read.
Pail Maier, a expert in ancient history, has written a great book. from my understanding is that, this book was three different books now put into one. If you are a new Christian, you need this book. If you read this book as a new believer, you will have a better grasp of the background of the NT in reading this book, than going to a expositional preaching church for two years. It will lay a ...

The Rozabal Line

Shawn Haigins

Lulu.com, 2007

Sensational, Risky, Mysterious, Entertaining, Satisfying
"The Rozabal Line" is an exciting richly detailed and tightly woven novel. It is loaded with surprises and includes hairpin turns and slow careful climbs to reach the highest peak of excitement, leaving the reader breathless, with no time to recover because the next moment of reading pleasure involves an unexpected drop into unanticipated depths. All I can say is move over Dan Brown, you have a ...
