    Nice! The last one looks especially interesting.

  2. Esteban Vázquez on

    You know, I used to have McQuilkin and Erickson. The latter I got rid of along with many other systematic theologies several years ago, and the former I think must have been stolen from my storage place. Anyway, they’re both excellent — as is Bray, which I still do have. But I’ve never even seen the one by Marshall.

  3. T.C. R on

    Not a bad list. That Erickson’s Theology is heavy stuff. Have fun with it. :-D

  4. Robert Jimenez on

    Nick, I actually got Bray’s book a bit earlier as I was able to purchase that on at my local Christian bookstore, I try to by locally as much as I can to support them.

    Esteban, the Erickson is nicely bound as well it lays nice and flat when open. I own the condense version of it but I needed to get the complete volume so I did.

    TC, yeah pretty good from what I read, and it actually has an endorsement by Wolfhart Pannenberg.

      Yeah, they have been really good reading so far. The book by Howard Marshall is excellent.

  6. Michael Metts on

    Robert, the Erickson book is very enjoyable. I can’t put it down. I’m about halfway through it.

  7. Michael Metts on

    The selection of material looks pretty responsible. Especially for only a single class.

    • Robert Jimenez on

      Michael, there are few more books that I actually ordering ;-) The core book is Biblical Inspiration, and the others are required as well but only selective reading (whatever chapters they recommend)
