Lovedrug - Everything Starts Where It EndsThis record is one of my favorite rock records of the last couple of years. It was just rereleased in iTunes plus format and for a lower price of $5.99. Might want to buy this one for sure or at least give it a listen.

Z,
Just wanted to comment briefly on watching your perspective develop in conjunction with the classes you are taking. I am referring also to your other team blog. It is an interesting thing to track the way your theology has changed in the past few months (or at least the way you formulate things and the questions you ask have changed), especially as it seems you have had to give sustained and careful reading of the New Testament. Might be a good exercise--if you have time--to go back over some of your posts from the past few months and observe it.
Also nice to see that you are reading I. Howard's NT Theology. Do you like it? I have been through it a few times, and the more I read it, the more I appreciate what he is doing in contrast to other NT Theologies. He's one of the best in the field--of an older generation, at least. Would you say it is an effective book for a seminary class? Is that your only text?
If you like his perspective and method, I have a few other suggestions for books that might be of interest...
Grace and Peace.
Kyle,
Not totally sure what you are referring to, but I am feeling like I am growing in my learning for sure.
I dig Marshall's book (except for the fact that he is not exactly a fan of Reformed theology). He is a good writer and gives great overviews of the main themes. I have been digging NT Wright as well and Christopher Wright.
Our other book is D.A. Carson's survey of the NT.
More than anything I have enjoyed having to read the NT in 10 chapter chunks and respond to the theme. This is a great exercise to flesh out the author's big ideas. As a church culture I fear that we read way to choppy. Makes sense cause we live in a sound byte culture.
I was not referring to anything specific--just seems like some of your posts in the last few months have reflected your learning in your classes, as it should.
What's wrong with Marshall not being Reformed in Theology? Its not like the NT was written after Calvin....
I like Wright, too. He's a bit idiosyncratic at times, though.
I agree, there seems to be a problem with how many people--Christian pop culture in general--read scripture today. I liked your post on your team blog--something about God's kingdom and politics...good thoughts there.
I am just persuaded that Reformed soteriology is a better representation of the Biblical perspective. That is all. This doesn't mean he can't write a great book on NT survey though...
