Top Ten Books of 2008

Its that time of year again.  Here are my top ten books of 2008.

Beale on Inerrancy

Jim Hamilton provides a summary of G. K. Beale’s argument for biblical inerrancy.  I think it is important to recognize that Beale’s argument is rooted in a biblical-theological understanding of Scripture.  In other words, doctrinal subjects such as inerrancy cannot be divorced from the biblical plotline in which they are disclosed.  Read it here.

People and Place

Riddleblog points out Michael Horton’s new book and the fourth of his covenant series: People and Place: A Covenant Ecclesiology.  See it here.

The Erosion of Inerrancy in Evangelicalism

G. K. Beale has another new book due out in November (see the other book here).  It is entitled: The Erosion of Inerrancy in Evangelicalism: Responding to New Challenges to Biblical Authority.  The book appears largely to be a response to Peter Enns.  Check it out here.
