the only books i’ve read off of that list is MacArthur’s Philippians commentary and the J. Oswald Sanders LEADERSHIP book… both solid, but I hope to check out others from your list.

Keith – thanks for those tidbits of info about each book, it will help me to choose what to read next!

As far as the Salvation to the Ends of the Earth book goes I really enjoyed it and I think it did a fantastic job of treating mission in the NT and I thoroughly enjoyed the section on the OT, especially as it dealt with the “seed” (I went and got all of the journal articles he quoted in this segment because it was so good). I was just disappointed because I felt they were looking at mission in the OT the wrong way, although they did cover the material well.

As far as cataloging goes I have all of my books in an Excel Sheet that where I include Author, Title, Publisher, Year, ISBN, and what year(s) I read the book. I simply have Excel arrange it by year read and then I copied and pasted it into a word document and removed the gird.

Sok, a lot of the books on this lost were recommended by you thanks for all of the fantastic suggestions and for introducing me to Biblical Theology, I have greatly enjoyed it and look forward to reading more on the subject.

Two thoughts though….

“I would caution, however, that his lumping the biblical covenants under one supra-covenant, the covenant of grace, is an incorrect position, though it is a consistent position within his theological heritage.”

Goldsworthy theological heritage is the same as my theological heritage, so my question is, where do we get the idea of more than one covenant? I always read the Bible to say that God has always dealt with his creation with grace.

“However, I was disappointed with its treatment of the Old Testament. Rather than ask, “What was mission like in the Old Testament and what has occurred that changes that mission into the mission we find in the New Testament?” They instead ask, “Does New Testament mission find its roots in Old Testament or Intertestamental Judaism?” Mission finds its roots in God and I had hoped this work would discuss mission in the Old Testament and then explain how the reality of Jesus Christ has transformed mission into what we find in the New Testament.”

I have to disagree with your assessment of this book. With both of the authors being NT scholars the majority of their focus should be the NT. Also I found their treatment of mission in the OT to be very good for its brevity. Particularly the purpose of God’s people in the ‘mission’. Tremendous application to today.

I wish I had time to catalog like you did all the books i read in 07. Suffice to say that I do not have the patience that you do to do this. Great job reading as much as you did, it is a blessing to see brothers and sisters pour over books.
