Peter Wehner Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

Wise words from my friend @scottsauls. These are words that need to be heard/taken to heart by those who claim to be Christians but have eschewed what Eugene Peterson called "the Jesus Way." A cauldron of rage, resentment, aggression and hate isn't quite what Jesus had in mind. https://t.co/GE0PW64bfO

.@KMLamb is an impressive scholar and teacher. His new book, "A Commonwealth of Hope: Augustine's Political Thought," looks marvelous. https://t.co/f1Kaw7BJkE

A question for @mbird12 and @UnbelievableJB (and others): Have you read John Barton's A History of the Bible; and, if so, what'd you make of it? It was widely praised for its scholarship, rightly so, but also (predictably) controversial in parts of the evangelical world. Thanks.

Peter Wehner

Thanks @mbird12; I enjoy/learn from your insights. A friend just gave me a copy of the book by you and Tom Wright, "The New Testament in Its World: An Introduction to the History, Literature, and Theology of the First Christians" which looks (not surprisingly) excellent. https://t.co/DDmiKby4FT

"Where the Light Fell" is a stunning memoir. I was honored to offer an endorsement; @philipyancey is a writer (and friend) who's been significant in my life. I'm thankful one of the world's finest Christian writers has written his most personal/gripping book. You will be, too. https://t.co/3OFhWcvIu1

If you're interested in engaging with some of life's deepest questions, consider reading "Strauss, Spinoza & Sinai: Orthodox Judaism and Modern Questions of Faith." It's quite insightful/accessible; I found myself sharing observations from it with friends. https://t.co/egssDfc90D

Very good news re: @timkellernyc: His new book Hope in Times of Fear is being released today. I'll be ordering a copy; so will those in my book club. We'll be reading it later in the spring. https://t.co/FZm6do3i6u

Today's the publication date for The Peacemaker: Ronald Reagan, the Cold War and the World on the Brink by my friend/former colleague William Inboden. It's very well written/a major contribution to our understanding of history and the Reagan presidency. https://t.co/ECfwiccQOy

Agreed, @glukianoff. @jon_rauch's The Constitution of Knowledge: A Defense of Truth is a superb book -- timely, elegantly written, wise and insightful on one of the most important issues of our time. I can't recommend it highly enough. https://t.co/YBnym6kEzS
