This Week’s Good Reads

I didn’t have much down time this week, so there are only three articles featured in here, but maybe one will appeal to you:

1. “A Year of Biblical Womanhood: A Review” by Trillia Newbell

The author reviews the forthcoming release of Rachel Held Evans new book and finds that it is actually less about debates over gender roles as it is an undermining of the inerrancy and sufficiency of Scripture. She writes, “As I read the book, it became increasingly clear to me of one theme: God’s word was on trial. It was the court of Rachel Held Evans. She was the prosecution, judge, and jury. The verdict was out. And with authority and confidence, she would have the final word on womanhood.”

2. “Toward A Theology of Church Unity” by Kevin DeYoung

DeYoung gives a bullet point list of some reflections on church unity here. It’s a short list based on his reading of Ephesians 4:1-16, but it’s an important reminder that the unity of the church matters to God and ought to matter to us. DeYoung raises a host of important question that will need answered to give us a thorough theology of church unity. For our sake we would all do well to consider this subject more carefully and more frequently.

3. “Gospel, Culture, and Mission: An Interview with Tim Keller” by Trevin Wax

Wax gets the chance to ask Keller some very specific questions about his book Center Church. This is a good introduction to the work.
